severe, serious

severe和serious都可表示“严重的”。但表示“伤势严重”时只能用severe。例如:

She was laid up for a year with a very serious〔severe〕 illness.她由于病重而卧床一年。

severe, stern, strict

这组词的共同意思是“严格的”或“严厉的”。它们之间的区别是：

1.strict通常用于指对人的行为要求符合规范,一般译为“严格的”; severe多指由于客观需要而不能轻易改变规则和要求,含有冷酷无情之义,一般译为“严厉的”; stern则含有坚定不可动摇之义,多由人的性格所决定,一般译为“严谨的”。试比较：

She was very strict on discipline.

她严格遵守纪律。

She is a severe judge.

她是个严厉的法官。

Father's face wore a stern expression.

父亲面色严峻。

2.在语气上, severe最重, stern次之, strict则相对较轻。
