A few adjectives have misleading `negative' affixes such as in- or -less. 有几个形容词带有貌似`否定'的词缀, 如in-或-less.
1 Invaluable means `extremely valuable'. *invaluable意思是`极有价值的'. It is not the opposite of valuable, which is valueless (or worthless). 这个词并不是valuable的反义词, valuable的反义词是valueless(或worthless).
2 Priceless means `too valuable to be priced', ie `having a very high price'.*priceless意思是`贵重得无法定出价格的', 即`价格非常高的'.
3 Innumerable and numberless mean `too many to be counted' or `very numerous'. *innumerable和numberless 意思是`多得数不清的'或`极多的'.
4 Flammable and inflammable have the same meaning (opposite
non-flammable). *flammable和inflammable意思一样, 是`易燃的'(反义词是
non-flammable`不易燃的').
