apparent, obvious, evident, clear, plain, distinct, definite, manifest

这些形容词均含"清楚的，明白的，明显的"之意。

apparent：强调显而易见或一想便知。这个词从动词appear派生而来，故有时含有表面如此而事实上未必的意味。

obvious：语气较强，指极为明显，有目共睹，无需说明和论证。

evident：指根据事实成为显然的。

clear：普通用词，侧重清楚明白。

plain：普通用词，含义与clear很接近，可通用，但plain着重简单明了，不复杂。

distinct：较正式用词，指轮廓的清楚或定义、含义的明确，不会弄错。

definite：语气肯定，着重明白无误，无可怀疑。

manifest：语义较强，书面用词，强调一目了然，暗示不要任何推论就一清二楚。
