同近义词辨析
critical, crucial, urgent, acute这组词都有“严重的，重要的”的意思，其区别是：
criticala.意为"关键的"，表示处于极度缺乏的状态或事件的转折点，与crucial相似。

crucial
crucial: see cross
crucial (adj.)
1706, "cross-shaped," from French crucial, a medical term for ligaments of the knee (which cross each other), from Latin crux (genitive crucis) "cross" (see cross (n.)). The meaning "decisive, critical" (1830) is extended from a logical term, Instantias Crucis, adopted by Francis Bacon (1620); the notion is of cross fingerboard signposts at forking roads, thus a requirement to choose.
