知识点解析
sensible, sensitive, sentimental, sensational这四个sense的衍生形容词放在一起，就问各位少侠怕不怕<(厂一 )>不过没关 系~今天的知识就会点告诉你记忆的小秘诀啪
sense表"感觉，意识，理性”，这想必大家都知道，毕竟人至少有5感嘛。那么以下的词无非就是在sense的基础.上加后缀,具体情况如下:
1. sensible, adj. 明智的;通情达理的;懂事的
-ible结尾， 表能力，所以sensible=be able to havesense (n.理性)，有理性的，有常识的，也就是"通情达理的”。
That seems to be a sensible idea.那似乎是个明智的主意。
I wish you would be more sensible about things.我希望你能更理性的看待这件事。
I'm afraid you aren't being very sensible.恐怕你不是很理智。
2. sensitive: adj. 敏感的、脆弱的、情绪易受影响的
词根tive有积极的意思，sensitive=be active to sense(v.感觉) 容易感觉的，感官神经发达的，也就是"敏感的,脆弱的,易受伤害的"
Do not be sensitive!别太敏感!
Eyes are very sensitive to light.眼睛对光敏感。
You should be careful with her. She's very sensitive.你和她相处要小心点，她非常敏感。
3. sensational: adj. 轰动性的，耸人听闻的
This news is sensational.这则新闻耸，人听闻。

此外，sensational还有 “极好的，绝妙的”之意:
Her voice is sensational.她的嗓音非常动听。
You look sensational in that dress!你穿这件连衣裙漂亮极了!
4. sentimental意为情感的，多愁善感的，感情用事的
senti (= sent)感觉+ ment表名词→感觉→感情sentimental = sentiment + al, adj.多感情的;感伤的
She's a sentimental person.她是一个多愁善感的人。
This is me: a sentimental man.这就是我: -个感伤的人。
