词义辨析

v. (动词)

bend, crook, curve

• 这三个词的共同意思是“弯曲,扭弯”。它们之间的区别是:
• 1.curve指稍稍弯曲; bend指用力弯成角形或弧线; crook弯曲程度最大,成为钩形。
• 2.bend可用于人,表示头或身子的折叠运动或三角形运动,即“弯腰,屈身”,用于比喻还可指“屈从”,而其他两词则没有此含义。

下面两个句子的意思不同：

• He bent to my will.
• 他顺从我的意志。
• He bent me to his will.
• 他使我顺从他的意志。

curve，bend，bow，crook，twist

• 这些动词都含“弯、弯曲”之意。
• curve指变成曲线或弧线状的动作或状态。
• bend普通用词，指把某物变成曲线或角形。用于人时，指头部或身躯弯下。
• bow指把头部或上身弯向前方的动作，也指社交中的礼节性动作。
• crook指不规则的弯曲，也指按照规则或模型弯曲某物。
• twist指通过转动、拧或扭使某物成弯曲状。

stoop，bend

• 这两动词均可表示“弯腰，弯曲”之意。
• stoop通常用于人，指屈膝降低身体高度或低头弯腰。常引申作屈从或不顾尊严。
• bend指人指物皆可，含义广，指任何弯曲的动作。可引申作屈从解。

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 那旅行者向右拐。

   误 The traveller bent to the right.

   正 The traveller turned to the right.

   析 bend表示“转向”时,通常指道路、小径、河流等,不指行人。
