词义辨析

v. (动词)

overthrow, subvert

• 这组词的共同含义是“推翻”。其区别是：
• overthrow强调用力量、暴力等手段彻底“打败,推翻,摧毁”某物; 而subvert则指用破坏支柱、削弱基础等手段“颠覆”有实际价值的东西,常含有“破坏,腐蚀”的意思。

conquer，overcome，overthrow，defeat，beat，subdue

• 这些动词均含“征服，战胜”之意。
• conquer侧重战胜和控制。书面用词。
• overcome多指战胜或克服非物质的东西，如困难和不良习惯等。语气较弱也可指在斗争或竞争中战胜或压倒对方。
• overthrow指彻底击败对手，使其丧失力量和地位。
• defeat普通用词，多指在战争、比赛、竞选或辩论中战胜对手，侧重胜利的暂时性。
• beat口笔语均可用，可与defeat换用。
• subdue正式用词，与conquer同义，但强调失败后的臣服状态；也可用作借喻，表克制、压抑感情、欲望等。
