词语用法

v. (动词)

1. revenge的基本意思是指本人直接受到迫害而向侵犯者进行报仇,常含有“出气”“以牙还牙”的意味,因此几乎总是带着恶意、怨恨,或不肯原谅他人等意味。
2. revenge是及物动词,接名词或代词作宾语。还常接反身代词作宾语,再接介词on〔upon〕引出报复的对象。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

revenge, avenge

• 这组词的共同意思是“报复”。其区别是：
• 1.avenge和revenge都可用于为自己所受的伤害而报仇, avenge还可指为别人所受的伤害而报仇。
• 2.revenge多出于利己的动机,而非出于利他的动机; avenge多出于正义的动机,是高尚的用语。
• 3.avenge强调“惩罚”,而revenge强调“报复”“出气”,惩罚意义较淡。
• 4.avenge强调为受冤屈者或受害者等报仇。此举虽出于个人行为,然而是匡扶正义,而对方罪有应得。revenge强调对个人所受的冤屈予以报复,实施报复者多是受害者本身,但有时并非出于正义,此种冤屈可能实有其事,但也可能出于猜测,或个人私怨。
• 5.avenge只可用作动词,而revenge却可用作动词或名词。

词源解说

• ☆ 14世纪晚期进入英语，直接源自古法语的revengier，意为报仇。
