区别lonely, alone,这两个形容词均有“孤单的，寂寞的”之意。

lonely: 强调孤独感，含“渴望和他人在一起”的意味。

alone: 普通用词，指独自一人的状态，有时含孤寂之意。

alone是表语形容词，因此能说The man is alone，不能说an alone man。

也不能说very alone，只能说much alone或very much alone，且后者比前者普遍。

alone指“独自的”，lonely指“寂寞的”，一个人也许alone但并不lonely(虽自己一人，但不寂寞)，或是虽不alone而感觉lonely(虽不是自己一个人，却还是寂寞)。

有时lonely还指“不大有人到的”，如a lonely house。

I was alone in the classroom.我独自在教室里。

After tea I wandered alone about the town.吃过下午茶,我独自在城里漫步。
