词义辨析

v. (动词)

suspend, dangle, hang, sling

• 这组词都有“悬挂”的意思。它们的区别是:hang指一端固定在一点或一条线上,另一端悬在空中的状态,也指依附在一点上; dangle指晃来晃去地吊着某物; sling指用吊索轻松地吊起笨重的物体或指吊在肩上; suspend指悬浮在空中可以灵活运动。例如:
• Hang the picture on the wall.把画挂在墙上。
• He sat on the edge of the table dangling his legs.他坐在桌子沿上,悬荡着双腿。
• He stood up and slung his gun over his shoulder.他站起来把枪往肩上一背。
