词义辨析

v. (动词)

contact, touch

• 这两个词都可表示“接触”“联系”。其区别在于:touch指具体的、感觉器官的接触,并暗示这类接触所带来的优美或亲密的感觉; 而contact指抽象的接触,仅指“联系”而身体未必接触。例如:
• I must contact my lawyer before I make my final decisions.在作出最后决定以前,我必须先同我的律师联系一下。
• Until recently, this remote tribe had contacted little with the outside world.这个边远的部落直到最近和外界几乎没什么联系。

contact，touch

• 这两个动词均有“接触”之意。
• contact强调紧密接触的两个物体之间的相互关系。也可用作比喻。
• touch指具体意义“接触”时，强调动作；表抽象意义时，侧重“联系”。

meet，encounter，confront，face，contact

• 这些动词均有“遇见、会见、碰见”之意。
• meet普通用词，本义指双方或多方从不同方向或相反方向作相对运动，最终相碰(遇)。
• encounter通常指遇到困难或挫折，也指偶然或意外地相遇。
• confront 不可避免地，面对面地相遇，也指敢于正视困难或问题。
• face侧重双方静止地面对面，或指充满勇气、信心和决心去正视人或事。
• contact多指通过书信、电话或直接会面和别人联系，口语用词。

词源解说

• ☆ 17世纪20年代进入英语，直接源自拉丁语的contingere：com (一起） + tangere (接触），意为在一起接触。
