词义辨析

v. (动词)

paint, colour, dye, stain

• 这几个词的共同含义是“着色,染色”。其区别是：
• 1.colour的意思最广泛,不管染色的深浅,不分使用什么染料,也不分给什么东西染色。用于比喻义,有“渲染,夸张”的意思,而dye, paint, stain没有此义。
• 2.dye, paint指有意地“染色”。dye指使用染料永远地改变物体的颜色,如毛纺织品或头发等; paint指把颜料或涂料涂在墙壁、家具等物体表面,使用的材料是耐久的,有“描绘,画画”的倾向。例如:
• Black will dye over other colours.黑色能把大多数其他颜色染掉。
• This dress had been dyed several times.这件连衣裙已染过几次了。
• She dyed her hair red.她把头发染成红色。
• When will you paint the wall? 你们什么时候漆墙?
• We painted the house once, then we went over it again.我们把房间油漆了一遍,然后又打扫了一遍。
• The hero in the storybook was painted as a brave man.故事书中的主人公被描绘成一个勇敢的人。
• 3.stain可以指由于使用疏忽或其他原因使物体染上并非本身所固有的颜色,因此有“变污”的意思。例如:
• This carpet stains easily, so try not to spill anything on it.这块地毯很容易弄脏,所以请尽量避免把东西溅到上面。
• She has stained the floorboards dark brown.她把地板漆成了深褐色。
• His crimes stained the family honor.他的罪行玷污了他家庭的名誉。
• 4.dye, colour有“脸红”的意思, paint, stain则没有。例如:
• Deep blushes dyed her cheeks.她双颊透红。
• 5.colour也可用作名词。

paint, draw

• 这两个词都表示“画画”。其区别是：
• draw多指用铅笔画素描类画; 而paint常指用色彩画水彩画或油画。

colour，dye，paint，stain

• 这些动词均有“着色，染”之意。
• colour普通用词，含义笼统。可指人工的着色，也可指天然的着色。
• dye多指使用染料改变物体的颜色，如染织品或头发等。
• paint指为装饰等目的而把油漆或涂料等物涂于物体表面。
• stain多指用化学或其它方法使物体着色。

词源解说

• ☆ 13世纪初期进入英语，直接源自古法语的peinter(peindre的过去分词），意为画。
