lofty: suggests great or imposing altitude: ~ mountain peaks. （imposing雄伟壮观的，令人印象深刻的implies great size and dignity and stresses impressiveness，如large, imposing buildings line the avenue道路两旁是雄伟壮观的大楼，如an imposing man仪表堂堂的男人） altitude高度是指相对于海平面的高度
high高: 指很明显的高度，既可指自身高，也可指所处的位置高，tall高: 指相较于同类平均高，lofty高耸: 表示雄伟壮观的高度

large: may be preferred when dimensions or extent or capacity or quantity or amount are being considered: a ~ meal; or when breadth, comprehensiveness, or generosity are stressed: tried to respond to some ~ issues. （quantity和amount都表示数量，基本可以互换，如a large/small quantity of food[amount]大量食物，不同之处是quantity是事物的基本属性，就像种类、颜色等是基本属性一样，amount有相加得到总量的含义。两个词一般都用于不可数名词，可数名词的数目用number） dimension维度，是可以测量的物理量，3维3D长宽高描述物体尺寸，4维4D长宽高时间描述物体运动
big: emphasizes bulk or mass or weight or volume: a ~ book; or impressiveness or importance: yearned mainly to be a ~ man on campus. （big用途广，如big success/problem/word/fan/day/brother/gun/picture/deal巨大成功/严重问题/长词/热情支持者/大日子(如结婚日)/大哥，指政府部门/重要人物/总体/重要的事，big-headed自大的，big-hearted慷慨善良的，talk big说话让人印象深刻，但言不副实）
