词义辨析

v. (动词)

cage, coop, enclose, envelop, fence, pen, wall

• 这组词都可表示“包围”“装入”,其区别是：
• fence主要指用栅栏拦开或围起来; cage指关在笼子里,有侮辱意味; coop指被关进笼子般的狭小地方,也指受到更加严格的限制; enclose指设置界限或屏障把某人或某物围在其中,也指把某物装进密封的容器; envelop强调把某物体完全包起来或整个封起来; pen指监禁在狭窄的地方或施加令人不快的限制; wall指筑墙围住或关入围有墙壁的地方。例如:
• After the tiger was caught, it was caged.老虎被捉住后关进了笼子。
• He was cooped up in a tiny room.他被关进小房间。
• The little park was enclosed on all sides by tall apartment building.那个小公园的四周被高高的住宅楼围起来了。
• Smoke from the burning room enveloped the whole building.着火了的那个房间冒出的烟遮蔽了整座大楼。
• The shepherd has penned up the sheep in the two acre field.牧羊人把羊群围在那块两英亩的土地上。
• We are going to wall the garden.我们要用围墙把花园围起来。

下面两个短语的意思不同:

• a cage bird 一只养在笼中的鸟
• a caged bird 一只关在笼中的鸟

词源解说

• ☆ 13世纪初期进入英语，直接源自拉丁语的cavea，意为围栏，围场，空处。
