Accurate can often be used before a noun in the same way as exact and precise. 作定语时accurate的用法常与exact和precise相同◆exact / precise / accurate records正确的／精确的／准确的记录When the words are used after a linking verb, there is a slightly different emphasis, especially in negative statements. A description that is not very exact/precise lacks details; a description that is not very accurate gives details, but the details are wrong. Precise includes the idea of being clear and certain as well as correct and can be used to talk about people in the phrase be precise about sth. Exact is not usually used in this way. 但用在连系动词后，尤其是否定句时，这几个词所强调的重点略有不同。not very exact/precise指缺乏细节的描述，not very accurate指描述中有细节，但内容有误。precise除了“正确”之外，还有“清楚、肯定”之意；可用于短语sb be precise about sth，指某人对某事确定无疑。exact一般不这样用◆She was reasonably exact about the time of the incident. If you are reasonably accurate about sth you are reasonably correct about it, not reasonably clear and certain. * be reasonably accurate about sth指还算正确，不含“清楚、肯定”之意。 ■ specific giving all the details clearly and carefully 明确的；具体的◆I gave you specific instructions.我明确告诉过你怎么做的。◆'I'd like your help tomorrow.' 'Can you be more specific (= tell me exactly what you want)?'“我想让你明天来帮我。”“你能不能说得具体些？”ⓘ Specific is often used in the same way as precise; it is frequently used in order to ask sb to be more precise, to complain that sb has not been precise, or to insist that you have been precise (for example, when sb has ignored your instructions). * specific常与precise的用法相同，常用于要求某人更明确些，或抱怨某人不够明确，或坚称自己说得已经很清楚了。
