Being sensible is a good quality but it is sometimes seen as rather boring. * wise常形容因见多识广、明察善断而受人尊敬的年纪较大的人,sensible可形容日常实际事务中作出明智决定的任何年龄的人,sensible是一种良好品质,但有时显得平淡无味。■prudent ˈpruːdnt sensible and careful when making decisions, avoiding unnecessary risks谨慎的;慎重的;精明的◆She has always been a prudent businesswoman.她做生意一直很慎重。ⓘ The opposite of prudent is imprudent, but this is used to describe actions and decisions much more than people. * prudent的反义词是imprudent,但大多用于描述行为和决定,少用于描述人。 see also prudence ⇨ carenoun
