slender, gaunt, lean, thin: 这组词都可形容人“瘦”。其区别是：
thin指因病、过分劳累或缺乏营养等而缺少正常的肌肉; gaunt指因饥饿或操劳过度而呈现的枯瘦或憔悴的面庞; lean强调缺乏脂肪,指自然的瘦,其肌肉却很结实; slender可指人或动物,作“细长的,苗条的”解,有时含有“纤弱”的意思。例如:
He has the gaunt face of a starving man.他是一副憔悴的面容的饿汉相。
The forest ranger is lean.那位森林警察很结实。
She admired Alice's slender build.她羡慕艾丽斯那苗条的身材。
