词义辨析

v. (动词)

astonish, alarm, amaze, surprise

• 这组词共同的意思是“惊异”“震惊”,它们之间的区别是:
• 1.surprise语气最强, alarm次之, astonish更次之, amaze最弱。
• 2.在使用场合上:surprise指对事出突然或意外而“惊奇”“惊愕”甚至“震惊”; alarm指由于某种危险或不祥之兆而“惊恐”; astonish指事情的发生不可思议而“难以置信”; amaze指对不太可能的事或根本不可能发生的事而感到“迷惑不解”。

be astonished by, be astonished at

• be astonished by和be astonished at的意思是一样的,前者是被动结构,其中的astonished是一个完全分词,可译为“(由于,被)…使某人(主语)感到吃惊”,后者是系表结构,其中的astonished是一个表示感觉或心理状态的形容词,可译为“某人(主语)对…感到吃惊”。

surprise，amaze，astonish，astound，startle，stun

• 这些动词均含“使惊愕，使惊讶，使惊奇”之意。
• surprise普通用词，多指因未预料或意外的事而引起的惊奇之感。
• amaze语气较强，指因认为不可能或极少可能发生情况的出现而感到惊讶或迷惑不解。
