transparent vs clear
transparent 強調材質本身允許光線完全穿透，能清楚看到另一側；clear 則強調視覺上沒有障礙、模糊或混濁，常用於液體、玻璃或天氣。
transparent vs see-through
transparent 是正式用語，描述材質的光學特性；see-through 是口語化用語，強調視覺效果，常帶有服裝過於透明的暗示。
transparent vs translucent
transparent 指完全透明，能清楚看到物體形狀與細節；translucent 指半透明，光線能穿透但物體輪廓模糊。
transparent vs obvious
兩者皆可比喻「明顯易見」，但 transparent 強調意圖、過程或資訊的公開透明；obvious 則指事實或情況本身非常明顯，無需解釋。
在對話中，當引述或轉述他人的話語時，常用「transparent」來形容其意圖或動機顯而易見，帶有輕微的諷刺或幽默感。 EN: When he said he was just "checking the weather," his attempt to look at her phone was completely transparent. 翻譯: 當他說他只是「看看天氣」時，他想偷看她手機的意圖完全透明（太明顯了）。

翻譯:她遲到的藉口太透明（太容易被看穿）了，大家只是微笑點頭。
在口語中，常與「completely」、「totally」、「so」等副詞連用，以強調「顯而易見」的程度，語氣通常較為隨意。 EN: That's a totally transparent lie. No one's buying it. 翻譯: 那完全是個透明的謊言。沒人會相信。
EN:His motives were so transparent, it was almost funny.
翻譯:他的動機透明到（明顯到）幾乎有點可笑。
有時在組織思維或尋找合適詞語時，會用「It's transparent...」或「That's transparent...」作為短暫的停頓，引出後續的解釋或判斷。 EN: It's transparent... I mean, you can see right through his plan. 翻譯: 這很透明… 我是說，你一眼就能看穿他的計畫。
EN:That's transparent, really. He just wants the credit for your work.
翻譯:說真的，這很透明。他只是想搶你工作的功勞。
正式寫作注意：在正式或學術寫作中（如商業報告、科學論文），應避免上述口語化的用法。請使用更精確、中性的詞語，如 "obvious", "evident", "clear"，或直接描述其特性（如 "allowing light to pass through"）。
