词义辨析

v. (动词)

quiver, quake, rock, shake, shiver, tremble

• 这组词都可表示由于震动或受刺激而引起的振动或颤抖。其区别是：
• 在表示因寒冷或恐惧而发抖时, shake, tremble, quiver和shiver常可互换。rock和shake强调外界因素所致, quake则强调自身因素引起。在摇动的幅度上, rock>quake>quiver>shiver。在摇动的频率上, shiver>tremble>quiver>rock。在程度上, quake最弱,几乎难以觉察。tremble强调无法克服性,而shiver则强调短暂性。用于指声音时, tremble只表示声音断断续续; quiver则指音调高低或声音强弱方面的颤抖。例如:
• His hands were trembling〔shaking〕 from cold.他冷得两手直哆嗦。
• He was quaking〔shivering〕 in his boots at the thought.他一想到这些就怕得发抖。
• The ground quaked under his feet.大地在他脚下震动。
• His insides quaked at the thought.想到这一点,他心里就发慌。
• The pine needles were still quivering.松针还在抖动着。
• A network of ripples quivered momentarily across the surface of the still pool.顷刻间平静的池面上轻轻地泛起一层涟漪。
• She tried to steady her fingers, but they quivered uncontrollably.她想稳定住自己的手指,但它们不由自主地抖动不已。
• The tower rocked under the impact of the hurricane.在飓风袭击下这座高塔摇晃得厉害。
• The earthquake rocked the house.地震使房屋摇动。
• He was trembling with rage.他气得发抖。
• The whole house trembled as the train went by.火车经过时,整座屋子都在震颤。
• Such thought may make you shiver at first.这种想法一开始会使你心惊肉跳。

shake，tremble，shiver，quiver，vibrate，shudder

• 这些动词均含“震动，颤抖”之意。
• shake最普通用词，含义广。指人或物不自主地颤动、摇摆，常侧重剧烈和无规律。
• tremble指由于寒冷、虚弱、愤怒或恐惧等而发抖、战栗。
• shiver指因寒冷或情绪突变而出现的短时间的轻微和快速的颤抖。
• quiver多用于指事物。指物体像乐器的弦一般地轻微而急速地颤动。
• vibrate指急速地连续震动，也指钟摆等的来回摆动。
• shudder着重指由于恐惧、震惊等而引起的全身突然而强烈地战栗。
