excellent

杰出的

The word excellent is a synonym for “positive” with the sense of “emphasizing what is laudable, hopeful, or to the good.” Excellent means “possessing outstanding quality or superior merit.”

Excellent是positive的近义词，“形容值得称赞、充满希望或优秀的事物”。意思是“拥有卓越的品质或价值”。

beneficial有益的

Another excellent synonym for positive is beneficial, a word that means “conferring benefit; advantageous; helpful.” The word beneficial ultimately comes from the Latin beneficium, meaning “kindness.” The word beneficial can be used as an easy substitute for positive in sentences like it will be positive (or beneficial) for them.Positive的另一个近义词是beneficial，这个词表示“带来好处；有利的；有帮助的”。Beneficial源自拉丁语“benefitium”，意思是“善良”。这个词通常可以替代positive。例如：It will be positive (or beneficial) for them（这对他们来说是积极的（有益的））。

Constructive

建设性的，有助益的

The word positive connotes a certain kind of real-world or hands-on benefit. A close synonym for positive that has a similar connotation is constructive, “helping to improve; promoting further development or advancement.” However, constructive does not necessarily describe literal construction, “the occupation or industry of building.”

Positive意味着某种现实或实际的益处，具有类似含义的单词是constructive，表示“帮助改善；促进进一步发展或进步”。然而，建设性并不一定描述字面上的建筑，“建筑的职业或行业”

appealing吸引人的

The adjective positive is used generally to describe things that are appealing, meaning “evoking or attracting interest, desire, curiosity, sympathy, or the like; attractive.” If you find something appealing, it means you are drawn to it. 形容词Appealing通常形容吸引人的事物，意思是“唤起或吸引兴趣、欲望、好奇心、同情等；吸引人的”。如果你用 appealing形容某物，那意味着你被它吸引了。

delectable讨人喜欢的；宜人的

A slightly more sophisticated synonym for appealing is delectable, which means “delightful; highly pleasing; enjoyable.” It is most often used to describe things that appeal to the senses, particularly taste. Delectable是一个稍微复杂一点的同义词，意思是“令人开心的；讨人喜欢的；令人愉快的”。最常用于形容那些吸引感官的东西，特别是味道。

favorable赞许的

If something is appealing, you feel favorable toward it. The word favorable means “characterized by approval or support.” It is also a close synonym for positive. Like positive, favorable can also describe a forward-looking attitude, in the sense of “boding well; propitious.”如果某件事很吸引人（appealing），你会对它产生好感（favorable）。 Favorable意思是“表示赞同或支持”。它也是positive的近义词，favorable也可以形容一种前瞻性的态度，意思是“顺利的；有利的”

auspicious吉利的

A more sophisticated synonym of favorable is auspicious, “promising success; opportune; favorable.” The word auspicious comes from the Latin auspicium, which was the practice of divining the future by watching the flight of birds. Favorable一个更复杂的同义词是auspicious，表示“有前途的；适时的；有利的”。Auspicious来自拉丁语auspicium，这是一种通过观察鸟类的飞行来预测未来的做法。

serendipitous偶然的

Another sophisticated synonym for favorable to describe a positive outcome is serendipitous, meaning “beneficial” or “fortuitous.” Favorable另一个复杂的同义词是serendipitous，意思是“有益的；巧合的”。
