Fine suggests sb who does their duty honestly and well. Admirable often describes less personal qualities such as balance or clarity. Honourable in this meaning is a slightly less positive word: it is often used to say that sb has nothing to be ashamed of, especially when they have done sth fairly good in difficult circumstances. You would not talk about ◆a fine/noble/admirable 2-2 drawA draw is not good enough, and a sports result is not important enough to be noble or admirable, although you might talk about a fine win. You can talk about a fine/noble/admirable man/woman in this meaning; but an honourable man/woman means one who has high moral standards. * noble在这些词中语气最强,用于描述为国捐躯等壮烈行为。fine意味着诚实完好地履行了责任。admirable常修饰一些非个人的品质,如balance或clarity。表达此义时,honourable正面意义略弱,常用于表示无愧于心,尤指在困境中表现尚可。不说a fine/noble/admirable 2-2 draw,因为平局非最佳结果,而且竞技结果的重要性也不足以用noble或admirable形容,尽管可以说a fine win。表达此义时,可以说a fine/noble/admirable man/woman,但是an honourable man/woman指品行高尚的人。 see also honourable ⇨ respectable■creditableˈkredɪtəbl (formal) of a fairly good standard, and deserving praise or approval值得赞扬的;应当认可的◆The chairman welcomed the company's creditable performance in the previous year.董事长对公司上一年的良好业绩表示赞赏。◆Although they struggled, they ended up coming a creditable second(= second in a race or competition).虽然他们努力了,但最终获得了聊胜于无的第二名。ⓘ Creditable is used more about achievements than efforts. Typical collocates are performance, result, achievement and showing. It describes achievements of a standard that is fairly high but not excellent. * creditable多用于描述成绩而非付出的努力,常见搭配词有performance、result、achievement和showing。creditable形容成绩良好但未达优秀。▸creditably
adverb
◆All three players performed creditably.三名球员的表现都不错。
