词义辨析

n.(名词)

circumstance, condition, situation, state

这四个词都有“情况,状态,条件,状况”的意思。其区别在于:state是普通用语,指“情况,状态”,其存在形式并不是具体事物; situation指危急或重大的事态,侧重“事态”,也指“职位,职业”; condition和state相比意义较狭隘,指在思考中的事物的状态,“环境”所影响的“情况”,特指事物内部的条件和状态,用复数时指比较一般、笼统的情况,侧重于“状况”; circumstance指某种事件或动作发生时的情况,一般都用复数形式。例如:

The country is in a troubled state.这个国家处于紊乱的状态中。

Measures must be taken to meet this situation.必须设法应付这个局面。

He is applying for a situation.他正在请求得到一个位置。

The oranges may soon rot under present conditions.橘子在目前的状态下会很快腐烂的。

I don't remember all the circumstances of the quarrel.我不记得争吵的所有情况。

circumstance, environment, surroundings

这三个词都可以表示“环境”。circumstance常用复数,指和某行动或某件事有关的客观环境和条件,如时间、地点等; environment一般用单数,不用复数,指某人或某物周围的,并对人或物有影响的环境、条件,可以指精神的(如注重道德的环境),也可指物质的(如工作环境),也可以指自然环境(如空气、水、土等),或指人为的环境条件(如经济环境); surroundings只用复数,指某人周围的事物或环境,这些事物与环境对他的思想、感情、修养有一定的影响。

condition state status situation circumstance

这些名词均有“状况、情况”之意。

condition:condition一般强调产生影响的原因或环境,复数形式指笼统的情况。

state:state普通用词,指人或物在环境、外表、心灵以及健康方面的状况,或指在某一阶段的状态或形式。

status:status指一个人在政治、社会、经济、法律上的地位或身份,暗含地位显要意味。也可用于指政治等事态的状况。

situation:situation指明确具体的环境情况或处境。

circumstance:circumstance多指周围的情况或某事发生时的情况。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

commence, begin, originate, start

这组词都有“开始”的意思。其区别是:

1.commence和start有时可互换,但在作“动身,出发”解或某一活动过程的“开始”解时,只能用start。

2.commence强调缓慢地开始,而start强调从不动到动或停止后再动。

3.start往往强调“开始”这一行动本身,而commence则含有为了某一目的的意味。

4.commence比begin要庄严得多,含有正式开始或开幕的意味,如开始举行典礼、开始审讯案件等。

5.begin是最常用语; commence多用于书面语; start则多用于口语。

6.originate作不及物动词时,表示“源自”“起始”“发起”等意思; 用作及物动词时,表示“创始”“发明”。

begin,start,commence,initiate,inaugurate

这些动词均含有“开始”之意。

begin最常用词,含义广泛,其反义词是end,多用于行动、工作等的开始。

start在许多场合可与begin通用,但start侧重动作的起点。

commence可与begin换用,但commence系书面正式用词,语气庄重,特指有正式程序或一定仪式,或某种正式行动的“开始”。

initiate指创始或发起,侧重某过程的第一步,不考虑结束,强调起始。

inaugurate指正式而隆重的开始。

【近义词】

begin 开始 start 开始 originate 发起 inaugurate 举行就职典礼... initiate 开始 instigate 教唆 launch 发起 embark 乘船 aggress 攻击 actuate 促使 christen 为 ... 施洗礼... take 拿 away 离开 take off 起飞 off 表示状态的关闭或离开... fire away 继续开枪,不断射击,不断... fire 火 stem 柄 get down 下来 set about 开始 start up 惊跳起来 lead off 领先 start out 开始 embark on 上(船、飞机等)... get 得到 set out 规划
