词义辨析

v. (动词)

concede, accord, award, grant, vouchsafe

• 这组词的共同意思是尽责任、义务或施恩而给、送。其区别是：
• accord指给予某人应得的或与其身份、地位相符的利益、尊重等; award指授予、判予,所给予的物品应是应得的或值得的,而给予者常被看成是公正的; concede多指因外在压力迫使而给予或授予; grant指出于同情、正义感或要求而给予,多用于上级给下级或长辈给晚辈等; vouchsafe则指地位高的人仁慈地给予地位低的人所乞求的东西,有时用作反语。

concede, allow, grant

• 这组词都可表示“允许”“赞同”。它们之间的区别是:grant强调为了说明问题或把注意力集中在要点上而主动应允某事或承认某事属实; concede指在对方提出有力证据的前后勉强承认; allow指权威地承认某事属实、符合逻辑或有道理。

acknowledge，admit，confess，recognize，concede
