difficult 常用来形容人，那么它形容人的时候是什么意思

人生十有八九不如意，其中就有很多不容易的事，不容易的事情一定是 difficult 的，因此 difficult 经常闯进我们的生活，但它大部分被用来形容词事情不容易，需要费精力，但是你知道吗，difficult 也可以用来形容人，而且意思完全不一样。

Difficult 形容事情时，意为”困难的；费力的；难做的；难解的“，常跟不定式搭配为 difficult (for sb) (to do sth)，相当于 hard，不过 difficult 比较正式，例如：

1. difficult (for sb) to do sth:

It's really difficult to read your writing.

你的笔迹真是难以辨认。

Your writing is really difficult to read.

你的笔迹真是难以辨认。

She finds it very difficult to get up early.

她觉得很难早起。

2. hard

It's hard to say which of them is lying.

很难说他们中谁在撒谎。

It's hard being a single mother.

做一个单身母亲很难。

Her handwriting is very hard to read.

她的笔迹很难辨认。

---

当然它也可以置于名词之前，表示问题多的或充满艰难困苦的等，例如：

We were asked lots of difficult questions.

我们被问到了许多困难的问题。

I had to make a very difficult decision.

我不得不做出一个非常艰难的决定。

---

但是 difficult 不仅形容事情，还形容人；不过当它形容人时，已经不是“困难”等意思了，因为你总不能说：“我是一个很困难的人”吧。当形容人时，difficult 意为“难以讨好的；难以取悦的；不愿帮助的”等，相当于 awkward，不过 difficult 形容人更常见，例如：

1. difficult:

Don't pay any attention to her; she's just being difficult.

别理她，她是在故意刁难。

I had a feeling you were going to be difficult about this.

我有种感觉：你会在这件事上找别扭。

I loved him, but he could be difficult at times.

我爱他，但他有时会很难相处。

His wife is a very difficult woman.

他的妻子是个很难相处的女人。

2. awkward:

You've put me in an awkward position.

你使得我狼狈不堪。

Please don't be awkward about letting him come.

关于让他来这事请你不要作梗。

现在你知道 difficult 的双面性了吧。很多时候人变得不 difficult 了，那么事情也就不 difficult 了。
