七、词义辨析
v.(动词)- break off, break out of, break up, break with
- 这组短语容易混淆,应注意区分:break off作“暂停,中断”解,指人突然终止某种正在进行的活动或已形成的关系,如谈话、婚约等; break out of意为“脱离,逃脱”,指人或物从很危险的、被禁锢的状态中逃脱出来或从俗套中脱颖而出; break up表示“分开,解除”,指使某种相对完整的东西自身解体,还可专指“放假,放学”等; break with作“终止,断绝”讲,常专指人结束自己与他人的友谊、关系,还可指放弃、革除旧习惯等。
- break, demolish, destroy, ruin
- 这组词都含有“破坏”“毁坏”“消灭”的意思。其区别在于:
- 1.destroy和ruin这两个词所表示的“毁坏”都含有“彻底”的意味,有时可互换。destroy强调“彻底性”; ruin强调不可修复。例如:
- The rain has ruined〔destroyed〕 the crops.这雨把庄稼全毁了。
- 2.break, destroy和demolish的主语可以是人,也可以是事物; 而ruin的主语多为天灾人祸等无形的力量。例如:
- The windshield broke but did not shatter.挡风玻璃裂了,但没有碎。
- All the intruders were destroyed.所有的入侵者都被歼灭了。
- That street was demolished a few years ago.那条街于几年前拆除了。
- She has a very real grievance against the hospital since the operation which ruined her health.自从她做过手术后,健康状况变坏,所以她确实对医院有怨言。
- 3.break的宾语可以是有形物,也可以是非物质性的事物; destroy和demolish用于具体事物可指“高楼大厦”等; 用于抽象事物时destroy指“名誉”“声望”等, demolish则指某人的论点、论据等。ruin的宾语则多是美好珍贵的事物。例如:
- His mother's heart will break if he leaves her.如果他离开母亲,她的心会碎的。
- All his hopes were now destroyed.他的一切希望现在都破灭了。
- We have demolished all her arguments and she has nothing more to say.我们推翻了她所有的论点,她无言以对。
- The manuscript was ruined by long exposure in the cold damp cellar.手稿在地下室因长期受阴冷潮湿的破坏而无法辨认了。
- 4.break可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词; destroy和demolish只用作及物动词; 而ruin多用作及物动词,偶尔可用作不及物动词。例如:

- The cup broke when it fell on the floor.茶杯掉到地上摔破了。

- 他们砸碎了一枚弹壳。
- The bomb burst.
- 炸弹爆炸了。
- break, crack, shatter, wreck
- 这组词的共同意思是“破裂,使破裂”。它们的区别在于:break引起的外力多是碰撞、挤压、敲打等,强调动作突然而有力,以及动作的结果,但不强调破损的程度; crack侧重于指突然发出易碎物品破裂时那样的尖声,也可指因干裂而引起裂口; shatter则强调动作的结果,碎片散得到处都是,物体彻底毁坏; wreck指将整体破坏成废物和碎片。
- break, dawn
- 这两个词都可作“破晓”解。其区别在于:break的主语只能用day; 而dawn的主语用day和morning都可以。例如:
- The day breaks at five.
- The morning〔day〕 dawns at five.
- 五点钟天就亮了。
- 下面两个短语意思不同:
- break rank 打乱队形
- break the ranks 走出队伍
n.(名词)- break, pause
- 这两个词的共同意思是“中止”“停顿”。其区别在于:
- 1.break指突然的短时中止; pause指短时的休止间歇。例如:
- She has worked for 16 hours without a break.她一口气工作了16个小时,没有休息一会儿。
- 2.pause没有break那样急遽突然,语气也较缓和。例如:
- The workmen took a break so we enjoyed a brief respite from the noises.工人们休息了一下,所以我们能享受片刻的安宁。
- Government sources said there would be no prolonged pause in the war.据官方消息,这场战争的时间不会长。
