词义辨析

v. (动词)

check, control

• 这两个词都有“控制,克制”的意思。其区别是：
• check指“止住”; 而control指“控制”在一定程度,而不一定“止住”。试比较:
• He checked himself.
• 他忍住不说了。
• He controlled himself.
• 他控制住自己。 (仍然可以较和缓地回答)

check, arrest, stop

• 这三个词均可表示“阻止”,其区别在于:stop是一般用语,指使任何一种前进或运动事物的停止; arrest指有力地阻止,通常指有意识的行动; check指突然或有力地阻止,有时也指短暂地阻止。例如:
• A driver uses brakes to arrest his car's speed.司机用刹车降低车速。
• An awning over the sidewalk checked his fall.人行道上的天篷阻止了他的跌落。

restrain，check，refrain，bridle，curb，inhibit

• 这些动词均含“阻止、抑制、制止”之意。
• restrain含义广，指用强力或权力去阻止或限制某人做某事。
• check多指阻止前进或继续发展。
• refrain常指暂时对某种行动或冲动的抑制。
• bridle指抑制住强烈的感情或欲望。
• curb可指急剧或果断的制止，也可指用严格的方法加以控制。
• inhibit主要指抑制愿望、情绪或念头，也指制止某物的蔓延。

词源解说

• ☆ 14世纪初期进入英语，直接源自古法语的eschequier，意为下棋时将一次军；最初源自波斯语的shah，意为国王。
