词义辨析

v. (动词)

steer, drive, fly, pilot, ride

• 这五个词都可表示“驾驶”。其区别是：
• 开汽车时用drive; 驾驶轮船用pilot; 骑自行车用ride; 如果表示操纵汽车、轮船或自行车的方向,就用steer; 但谈及飞机时, fly和pilot这两个既可表示“驾驶”又表示操纵飞机的方向。例如:
• He was driving car along the road.他沿着马路行驶。
• Can you ride a bicycle?你会骑自行车吗?
• He was the first man ever to fly that type of aircraft.他是驾驶那种飞机的第一人。
• She steered with one hand while trying to adjust the rear-view mirror with the other.她用一只手操纵方向盘,而用另一只手调整后视镜。
• He piloted a ship through the canal.他引领着船只通过运河。

steer, guide, pilot

• guide指由熟悉道路的向导或懂得如何避开险阻的人指引,也可指受到信号、仪表、原则等指示; steer指操纵车船或飞机向某方向运行; pilot仅指给船只领航穿过不熟悉或有危险的水域。例如:
• He guided the child across the street.他领着孩子穿过大街。
• He steered the boat carefully between the rocks.他小心地驾驶着船穿行于礁石之间。
