n.(名词)

chief作“首领”解时,一般指的是统治者,尤其指的是部落的族长、酋长。引申可指“首长”,常指组织机构、部门的最高级别的领导人(如部长、司长、局长、科长等)。

chief后常与of连用,表示“…的首领”。

chief的复数形式是在其后直接加-s:chiefs。

adj.(形容词)

chief作形容词的意思是“最高级别的,总的”,作此解时主要用于人,指人的身份、地位或职权等方面“居于最高级或拥有最高权力的”。chief还可作“主要的,最重要的”解,此时多指物。

chief作“主要的”解时是表示限定意义的形容词,在句中只能置于名词前作定语,作“最重要的”解偶尔可用作表语。

chief没有比较级和最高级形式。
