intimate, close, familiar

这三个词的共同意思是“亲近,亲密”。其区别是：

familiar指经常接触,长时间的交往使彼此熟悉,亲近,甚至随便,不拘小节; close指由于感情、爱好、兴趣等方面的接近而趋于亲近,也指关系上的亲密; intimate是正式用语,指由于有某种关系(如血缘关系、朋友关系等)或深刻了解彼此的思想感情,或有共同的爱好、志向而亲近。例如:

His familiar behaviour annoys me,I don't know him at all well.他随便的态度使我很不自在,其实我和他一点也不熟悉。

They are close friends.他们是亲密的朋友。

He is on intimate terms with my father.他和我父亲的关系很亲密。

intimate, hint, suggest

这组词的共同意思是“暗示”,其区别是：

hint和intimate指用间接、含蓄的语言“暗示”, intimate更为坦白; suggest可指直接“建议”,也可指暗中流露。例如:

She hinted that it was time we left.她暗示我们该走了。
