clever перевод

Ответ от Alex Norenberg[гуру]
From the British point of view "clever" is usually "intelligent" and a slightly more formal word, but the nuance is slight. In the UK you do hear "smart" to mean "clever" but it is an Americanism. I think if British did use it the nuance would be "savvy" "can handle him/herself". So an American would say "Lisa Simpson is smart" but a Brit would say that she is "clever".
Of course, "smart" is the usual UK word to mean "well dressed" or "tidy" or "well cared for".
