出自：C. Priest

出自：P. Fitzgerald
short的详细讲解：
short用在head上的时候，表示的是前后的短，而不是上下的短；
a short mile表示“不到一英里”，与词组a short hour，short years等与long的用法相似；
short of后接动名词，
Your attitude is little short of being ridiculous.你的态度非常近乎可笑的。句中的being做的是of的宾语，有时可省略。
adj.(形容词)
short的基本意思是“短的”,既可指持续的时间“短”,也可指长度“短”、高度“矮”或在重量、数量等方面“短缺的,不足的,未达标的”。short指持续时间短时,有不完全、缩短或突然停止的意味。
short和表示时间的time, hour(s), year(s)等连用,可表示“不足”“不到”“短暂的”; 修饰动作或声音,可表示“短促的”。
short也可作“简称的,简略形式的”“简单粗暴的,唐突无礼的”“少而浓的,烈性的”“短音的”“短期的,即将兑现的”“油酥的”等解。
short在句中可用作定语、表语或宾语补足语。
adv.(副词)
short用作副词的意思是“突然地,唐突地”,有时也可作“达不到目的地”解。
short在句中多用作状语。
short用作名词的基本意思是“短路”“短片”“短裤”,还可作“烈酒”解。
short作“烈酒”“短裤”解时通常用复数形式。用作主语时谓语动词须用复数形式,“一条短裤”是a pair of shorts。
adj.(形容词)
run short, run short of
这两个短语都是“快用完”的意思。前者相当于不及物动词,主语一般为物,以主动形式表示被动意义; 后者相当于及物动词,其主语为人或部门, of后接表示时间或钱、物的名词。例如:
The flour is running short.
面粉快用完了。
We have run short of flour.
我们的面粉快用完了。
short, brief
这两个词的共同意思是“短的”。其区别在于:brief着重指时间、言谈、篇幅等“短暂”“简短”; short是普通用词,泛指各种“短”。例如:
My acquaintance with him was brief.我与他相识的时间不长。
I went on a short trip.我作短暂的旅行。
short, concise
这两个词都有“简明的”“简短的”意思。其区别在于:concise表示用较少的话准确地表述某事,无赘言; short指简短,但不一定准确,还可用于表示时间短暂、不足等。例如:
The article is concise and to the point.这篇文章简明扼要。
The mayor gave a short speech.市长发表了简短的讲话。
adv.(副词)
short, shortly
两者都是副词,但不同义:short的意思是“突然”“蓦然”; 而shortly则作“不久”“在短时期内”解,且多用于将来时态。例如:
The boss was driven to his wit's end short.
这个老板一下子被弄得一筹莫展。
I shall go on errands to Beijing shortly.
我不久就要出差去北京。
for short, in short
这两个短语含义不同:in short表示“总之”“简言之”,用于文章、段落、言语等; for short表示“简称”“缩写”,多用于姓名等。
adj.(形容词)

析 be short of意为“缺乏…”; 要表达“是…的简写”,应说be short for。

正 The supply of oil is running short.

正 The poem is short enough to learn by heart.
