Complex Complicated 可以认为是同义词,但前者是描述一个事物的feature,后者描述事物复杂得难以应付、处理,带有人的因素。写作中要正确使用这两个单词。
例如:
Large Language Models (LLM)are complex systems.
(大语言模型属于复杂系统。)
这里是描述大模型的feature.
但是:
Large Language Models are too complicated to analyze.
(大语言模型太复杂了,难以分析。)
这里有人的因素:难以分析。
A deep neural network exhibits complex behavior that cannot be deduced from individual neurons.
(深度神经网络表现出复杂的行为,无法从单个神经元导出来。)
The time complexity of this algorithm is O(n!), making it not scalable.
(该算法的时间复杂度是O(n!),使它不可伸缩。)
从complexity 可以更好理解complex。
Complex systems, such as the Internet, involve a huge number of intermediate nodes and hosts.
(复杂系统如互联网包括大量中间结点和主机。)
The configuration process for this distributed application is complicated. We need to set 20 parameters in the correct order.
(这个分布式系统的配置过程很繁杂,需要按正确顺序设置20个参数。)
注意其中人的因素。
Although the algorithm is simple, its implementation is complicated due to numerous edge cases.
(虽然算法简单,但由于大量边界情况,其实现很繁琐。)
实现靠人,有人的因素。
判别对错:
The login procedure is complex.
The login procedure is complicated.
(说明:例句得到DeepSeek 的帮助。)
