Question

the water of the lake was so ---that it looked like glass

the water of the lake was so ------that it looks like glass?中间是填still还是calm？为什么？

Answer 1

calm
1) calm 指天气、海洋的“风平浪静”，还可指人的心情“平静”、态度“安详”,“沉着镇定”;指自然“无风无浪的”。例如:

He remained calm.

After the storm the sea was calm again.

The sea was very calm. 海面很平静。

The doctor did what he could to make the girl calm. 医生尽力让那女孩平静下来。

2)silent用于事物时,侧重没有声响;有时用于指人时,强调少言寡语。例如:

That's a silent film.

Why do you keep silent.?

You'd better be silent about what's happened. 对已经发生的事，你最好保持沉默。

The children went out， and the room was silent. 孩子们都出去了，房子变得寂静无声。

3)still侧重于"不动"、"静止"时,与calm, quiet, silent不能替换;侧重于"无声"时,可与quiet替换。例如:

Please keep still while I take a photo of you.

How still(quiet)everything is!

All sounds are still. 万籁俱寂。

The Swede stood quite still, except that his lips moved slightly. 那个瑞典人纹丝不动地站着，只有嘴唇在微微动着。

Answer 2

选calm
calm是描写实物的静态，比如天气无风的和水面平静的，或者人镇定的。都是对实物的境况描述

still是描写画面的的静态。例如电影某剧照或定格画面。有时也可以描写天气的无风，无声，寂静的场景。

两者对比，你就可以发现差异了。英语意思相同差不多，但语境却不一样的。以后要注意。

其他人回答都ctrl+c再ctrl+v。哎

Answer 3

。still。 sea可以calm，可就没听说过calm water的，而 still waters run deep 却是一个成语。

Answer 4
