Original/imaginative ideas are interesting whether they work in practice or not; things that are ingenious are clever and must work, or they are not ingenious; however, they may not be as big or important as things that are innovative or original. * innovative常用于客观实际和商业语境中,指想法新颖且实用;original、imaginative和inventive更偏重艺术性。original/imaginative idea是新颖有趣的想法,不论实用与否;ingenious形容东西设计精巧、实用性强,否则不能称之为ingenious;不过,ingenious形容的事物可能不如innovative或original形容的大或重要。
