Which is right?

□ 1. My legs are painful after yesterday' three-hour walk in the mountains.

□ 2. My legs are sore after yesterday' three-hour walk in the mountains.

    1. My legs are painful after yesterday' three-hour walk in the mountains.

○2. My legs are sore after yesterday' three-hour walk in the mountains.

sore可指全身各出之痛，當形容詞用時，放在感到疼痛的身體某部位之名詞前或後均可，如sore legs或My legs are sore。而painful則意指引致的經驗，如It's painful being hit with a hockey stick.

"Sore" is a useful adjective to describe pain, because it can refer to any part of the body, and can be used before (sore legs) or after the noun. "Painful" usually refers to an experience which causes pain, e.g. "It's painful being hit with a hockey stick."
