词义辨析

v. (动词)

stoop, condescend, deign

• 这组词都可表示“屈尊”。其区别在于:stoop不仅指降低人格或尊严去干与身份不相称的事情,而且暗示道德的堕落,有可耻的意味; condescend指地位、身份较高或权力较大的人屈尊去同地位较低的人交往,也可指对自视不如自己的人摆出屈尊俯就或恩赐的态度; deign则指性格傲慢、目中无人的人认为降低自己的身份去做某事,常同否定词连用,暗示不屑做某事。

stoop，bend

• 这两动词均可表示“弯腰，弯曲”之意。
• stoop通常用于人，指屈膝降低身体高度或低头弯腰。常引申作屈从或不顾尊严。
• bend指人指物皆可，含义广，指任何弯曲的动作。可引申作屈从解。
