词义辨析

n. (名词)

stream, branch, brook, canal, creek, river, torrent

• 这组词的共同意思是“流水的通道”。其区别是：
• 1.除canal指人工开挖的河流或渠道外，其余各词均指自然形成的水道。
• 2.river和torrent均指流量较大的河流，river可泛指(自然形成的)江河；torrent则特指急流、湍流。这两个词还常用于比喻。
• 3.stream可指大河，也可指小河或小溪，指小溪时与brook,creek同义。creek侧重其狭长蜿蜒，缓缓流动，且多流入大河或湖泊。brook侧重发源于山泉。creek和stream都比brook大。stream还可引申表示事物连绵不断。
• 4.branch指江河的支流。

v. (动词)

stream, flow, pour, run

• 这组词的共同意思是“流”“流动”。其区别是：
• 1.flow, run, stream和pour都可指液体流动; flow还可指气体流动; pour还可指光线、微粒等倾泻。
• 2.时间上:flow一般指源源不断地、长时间地流动; run既可以是源源不断地、长时间地流动,也可以是流动一段时间; stream和pour多指短时间地流动。
• 3.方向上:指液体流动时, flow是水平流动; run和stream既可水平流动,也可垂直流动; pour是垂直流动。
• 4.流速上:从快到慢依次为pour, stream, run, flow。具体说就是flow是平平稳稳地流动; run比较湍急; stream比run更有力; pour则是“倾泻”。
• 5.flow, stream和pour常用于比喻, run很少用于比喻。例如:
• The river was flowing quietly.河水静静流着。
• She let her hair down so that it flew darkly over her shoulders.她让乌黑的头发披散下来,飘垂到肩上。
• The river runs through hills and fields.河水流经山冈和田野。
• The water runs out of the pipe into the bucket.水自管内注入水桶中。
• Tears were streaming down her face.她脸上热泪滚滚而下。
• The students streamed into the auditorium.学生们络绎不绝地进入礼堂。

river，brook，stream

• 这些名词均有“江、河”之意。
• river泛指一般的江河。
• brook指小河，尤指发源于山泉的小河。
• stream泛指大小河流，也可专指小溪。

词源解说
