Do not confuse real and actual. You use real to describe things that exist rather than being imagined or theoretical. Robert squealed in mock terror, then in real pain. You use actual to emphasize that what you are referring to is real or genuine, for example, the actual cost of something is what it costs rather than what you expect it to cost. You can also use actual to contrast different aspects of something, for example the time taken to prepare for something with the time taken to do something. The actual boat trip takes about forty-five minutes.
不要混淆real和actual。real表示事物的确存在,非想象的或理论上的。例如,Robert squealed in mock terror, then in real pain(罗伯特起初假装害怕而尖叫,接着却真的疼得叫起来)。actual强调所指的事物是真实的或实际的,例如,actual cost指实际的花费,而不是预期的花费。actual还可以用来对比事物的不同方面,例如用来准备做某事的时间和真正做某事花费的时间之间的对比。如:The actual boat trip takes about forty-five minutes(实际坐船的时间大概有45分钟)。
