词义辨析

v. (动词)

stop v-ing, stop to-v

• 两者所表示的含义不同:“stop+动名词”表示停止(由动名词表示的)某动作; 而“stop+动词不定式”表示停下来(正在做的某事)而去做(由动词不定式表示的)另一动作,这个动词不定式不是stop的宾语,而是目的状语,相当于in order to- v 。试比较:
• When the teacher came into the classroom, the students stopped talking.
• 老师走进教室时,学生们都停止了说话。
• They stopped to listen, but there was no sound.
• 他们停下来仔细地听,但什么也听不 见。

stop, arrest, check

• 这三个词均可表示“阻止”,其区别在于:stop是一般用语,指使任何一种前进或运动事物的停止; arrest指有力地阻止,通常指有意识的行动; check指突然或有力地阻止,有时也指短暂地阻止。例如:
• A driver uses brakes to arrest his car's speed.司机用刹车降低车速。
• An awning over the sidewalk checked his fall.人行道上的天篷阻止了他的跌落。

stop, desist

• 这两个词都有“克制,阻止”的意思。其区别在于:
• 1.stop使用得较广泛,可用在正式或非正式场合; desist是一个非常正式的词,尤指通过自制或客观地权衡之后认为成功希望不大而克制、阻止。例如:
• Once I'm determined to do a thing, no one can stop me from doing it.一旦我下决心做一件事情,没有人能够阻止我去做它。
• He finally desisted in his fruitless efforts to find the missing heir.他最终放弃了寻找失踪继承人的毫无结果的努力。
• 2.stop可用作及物动词,后面可直接接名词或动名词; desist是不及物动词,常与from连用。例如:
• The enemy's fire power couldn't stop their advance.敌人的火力不能阻止他们前进。
• Seeing that I am coming, they stopped talking.看见我来了,他们停止了谈话。
• The government ordered them to cease and desist from false advertising.政府命令停止和终止做虚假广告。

stop, cease, discontinue, halt

• 这组词都可表示“中断”“停止”。其区别在于:
• 1.在指某种状态或活动的结束时, stop和cease可以互换。
• 2.stop是这几个词当中概念最广泛,使用最多、最普通的词。cease的概念较窄,语气较严肃,是正式用语。discontinue也是正式用语。
• 3.stop既可指运动或行为的迅速中断,又可指某种状态或活动的结束；cease主要指某种状态或活动的结束或不复存在；discontinue则指长期存在着的习惯或习惯性的活动中止了；halt指骤然有力地终止。

stop, cease, pause

• 这组词都有“停止”的意思。其区别在于：
• 1.pause多指片刻的停顿或“暂停”。

• They stopped for a brief rest.他们停下来休息片刻。
• He began to speak but suddenly stopped.他开始讲话,但又突然停住了。
• Seeing that I was coming, they stopped talking.看见我来了,他们停止了谈话。
• She could not stop the child crying.她止不住孩子的哭声。
• 3.cease属正式用语,多表示某种状态的结束,不用来表示动作、行为的突然中断。例如:
• The storm has ceased.暴风雨停止了。
• His influence ceased with his death.他的影响已随着他去世而消失了。
• He ceased from teaching.他结束了教书生涯。
• At last they have ceased work.最后他们停止工作了。

stop up, sit up, stay up

• 这三个短语均可表示“熬夜”。其用法区别在于：sit up和stay up常跟现在分词短语,表示伴随动作; 而stop up常跟动词不定式表示目的。例如:
• They sat up all night discussing these questions.他们整宿没睡,讨论这些问题。
• We stayed up until midnight talking about our work.我们谈论工作一直到深夜还没睡。
• I stopped up to watch the match.我熬夜观看比赛。
