Impossible to use up completely
So large or great that it seems it will never end or be used up.
用法模式：
inexhaustible [supply/resource/source/stock]
常见错误：
Learners often confuse "inexhaustible" with "exhaustive" and "exhausting". "Inexhaustible" means something cannot be used up or does not run out. "Exhaustive" means complete or covering everything. "Exhausting" means making you very tired. Also, it is usually used for large or long-lasting things like resources, supplies, or sources, not for small items (say "endless cups of tea" rather than an "inexhaustible cup of tea").

Never seeming to get tired
Having so much energy or feeling that it seems you never get tired or never stop caring.
用法模式：
inexhaustible [energy/enthusiasm/patience/curiosity]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes think "inexhaustible" here means "very tired" because of the word "exhausted". It actually means the opposite: not getting tired. Also, do not say "I feel inexhaustible" in everyday speech; it is more natural to say "I have endless energy" or "I never get tired". Use "inexhaustible" mainly before nouns like "energy", "enthusiasm", "curiosity", or "patience".
近义词
tireless (Very close in meaning; more focused on not getting physically or mentally tired.)
|
unstoppable (Informal and stronger; suggests nothing can prevent the person from continuing.)
|
boundless (Often used for enthusiasm or curiosity; slightly more literary.)
反义词
exhausted (Describes a person who has completely run out of energy.)
|
weary (Suggests being tired and often less willing to continue.)
