【例题】Mr. Brown is a _____ old man and all his neighbors are ____ to him.

A. respectful; respectable

B. respectable; respective

C. respectable; respectful

D. respective; respectable

答案为C。

【注意】respective，respectful，respectable，respected的区别

⑴这四个单词看上去都是respect的衍生词，其实respective不是，因此跟它没有关系，意思是“分别

的，各自的”，后面常常加名词的复数形式，如：

We all went back to our respective homes after playing. 游戏之后我们都回了各自的家中。

⑵其他三个单词都是respect的衍生词，但意义不同。respectful表示主动含义，意思是“对……恭敬

的，尊敬的”。如：

The workers are respectful to me. 工人们对我很尊敬。

⑶respectable表示被动含义，意思是“可敬的”。如：

He is a respectable teacher. 他是一位可敬的教师。

⑷respected仍是表示被动，过去分词作定语表示被动多用于修饰人，它与respectable的区别在于

respectable表示受人尊敬的可能性，但未必被respected。如：

Our respected Chairman Mao is immortal. 我们敬爱的毛主席永垂不朽。（众所周知，毛主席是被大家所爱戴的。）
