词义辨析

v. (动词)

recommend, applaud, commend, compliment

• 这组词都有“赞同”的意思。其区别是：
• commend表示“称赞”,多指有节制地赞许,其目的在于要人们注意某人或某事的优点和长处; recommend表示“使受欢迎”,不仅有赞扬的意思,还有将受到欢迎的事或人向别人推荐的意思; applaud表示“称赞”,强调赞扬的方式和人数的众多; compliment表示“称赞”,强调客气和礼貌,有时含有恭维的意思。

recommend, introduce

• 这两个词的共同意思是“介绍”。其区别在于:
• 1.introduce的含义是介绍某人或某物本身,使其被认识; recommend的含义是介绍某人或某物的优点、长处,使其被采用。例如:
• He introduced the young man to the manager.他把那个年轻人介绍给了经理。
• He recommended strongly the young man to the manager.他极力向经理推荐那个年轻人。
• 2.recommend可用于“recommend sb sth ”句型,而introduce不能这样用。例如:
• The publishing house introduced a series of books to the public.那家出版社向公众推出一套丛书。
• The librarian recommended me a new novel.图书馆员向我推荐了一本新小说。
