如果能抛开/忽视汉字“”的干扰,你会发现significant和obvious根本算不上是同义词或者近义词。significant 强调“事情的重要”(sth is important)或意义非凡,所以你完全可以用这个词替代important;而obvious强调的是“显而易见”、“无需过多解释”(sth is clear without explanation)。所以你想表达诸如“地球人都知道......”之类的意思时,就可以用它。

你的第一句,强调的是显而易见的行为,所以用obvious;第二句强调的是对药物对疾病的影响程度,疗效非凡,所以用significant。

总之:significant和important可以算同义词;而obvious和clear,noticeable,conspicuous等可以算同义/近义词

一家之言,仅供参考;
