adj.(形容词)

principal用作形容词的意思是“最重要的,主要的,首要的”,用于人时指其起的作用最大,而不指职位最高; 用于物时,指其在重要性上优于他物,起决定作用。
principal无比较级和最高级形式。

adj.(形容词)

principal, capital, chief, main: 这组词均可表示“首要的”“重要的”。其区别在于:
1.capital, principal和chief既可修饰人,也可修饰物, main多修饰物,很少修饰人。例如:

2.capital指“一流的”,但不是“第一的”; chief指物时是“最重要的”,指人时是“职位最高的”; main和principal既可指“一流的”,也可指“第一的”。例如:
The trade union chief comrade boiled over when the men voted against him.那位工会首领在工人投他反对票时大发雷霆。

n.(名词)

principal, director, headmaster, president, schoolmaster: 这组名词的共同意思是“校长”,但用于不同的学校要用不同的词:principal通常指中学校长,也可指小学校长或大学院长; headmaster指普通小学或中学的男性校长,在美国尤指私立学校的校长; director不仅指学校的校长,还可指各组织机构、团体等的负责人,如处长、局长、主任、厂长等; schoolmaster指小学、中学等一般学校的教师或校长; president指大学校长。例如:
The school principal announced the honor roll list.校长宣布了优等生名单。
Our headmaster is an old man.我们的校长是一位老人。
He is the director of the research center.他是研究中心的主任。
John is the schoolmaster of that secondary school.约翰是那所中学的校长。
