二、词义辨析：类似有“明显的”意思的词还有哪些？

apparent, obvious, evident, clear, plain, distinct, definite, manifest

这些形容词均含“清楚的，明白的，明显的”之意。

apparent强调显而易见或一想便知。这个词从动词appear派生而来，故有时含有表面如此而事实上未必的意味。

obvious语气较强，指极为明显，有目共睹，无需说明和论证。

evident指根据事实成为显然的。

clear普通用词，侧重清楚明白。

plain普通用词，含义与clear很接近，可通用，但plain着重简单明了，不复杂。

distinct较正式用词，指轮廓的清楚或定义、含义的明确，不会弄错。

definite语气肯定，着重明白无误，无可怀疑。

manifest语义较强，书面用词，强调一目了然，暗示不要任何推论就一清二楚。

三、含有clear的常见短语
