短释义：
The word acute is one word; it’s not two words, nor does it have anything to do with something small, cuddly, and pretty! Acute really means “sharp” or “severe” or “intense” and modifies certain kinds of angles in geometry or describes a certain kind of illness of short duration. The English word apparently entered the language during the sixteenth century from the Latin root acutus, which means “sharp” or “pointed.”
当你想形容某件事尖锐或极其严重时，请使用形容词“acute”。

尖锐这个词是一个词；这不是两个词，也与小、可爱、漂亮的东西无关！急性的真正意思是“尖锐的”或“严重的”或“强烈的”，并且修改几何中的某些类型的角度或描述某种短期的疾病。这个英语单词显然是在十六世纪从拉丁语词根 acutus 进入语言的，意思是“锋利的”或“尖的”。
