Manhattan P25对economical和economic的区别举了个例子:
My decision to drive a hybrid car was motivated by economic considerations.
Economical considerations movtivated my decision to drive a hyrid car.
书上说第二个句子是错误的!理由是
economical = thrifty, efficient
ecomonic=montetary considerations
但是这个解释和我在牛津高阶上查到的意思不一样啊,截图如下,请问有人知道这是怎么回事么?
应该和Manhattan解释的不同吧,拿这个例子来说,牛津的解释:Economical means spending money or using sth. in a careful way that avoids waste(见截图),所以就是防止浪费“钱”,这应该和Manhattan对economic的解释:montetary considerations一样,和efficient感觉不沾边呀
主要是我觉得这句话Economical considerations motivated my decision to drive a hyrid car是完全正确的,因为本来economical就是表示省钱嘛,但是曼哈顿说这句话不对,我就混乱了
