词义辨析

v. (动词)

amuse, divert, entertain, recreate

• 这组词都有“娱乐”的意思。amuse强调娱乐时的专心致志,主要指轻松、琐碎、没有什么目的的消遣活动。divert强调以不同的乐事去分散注意力。entertain指能够提供娱乐的消遣活动。recreate则指为使头脑清醒,身体松弛而变换的消遣活动。

amuse, interest, please

• 这三个词的共同意思是“使人感兴趣”。其区别在于:interest意为“引起兴趣,使人感兴趣”,着重于“引起”; amuse意为“给…娱乐,消遣”,在被动句中,后面跟介词at, by, with引出的短语或动词不定式; please意为“使人满意,使人高兴”,在被动句中,多与介词about, by, with连用,不用于进行体。例如:
• He became very interested in science.他对科学变得感兴趣了。
• We were amused with the beautiful scenery.那美丽的风景使我们感到愉悦。
• I have been very much pleased by your analysis of the situation.我十分满意你对形势的分析。

amuse，entertain，interest，please

• 这些动词均含有“使人娱乐，消遣”之意。
• amuse指使人通过注意某些有趣或悦人的事物而消遣，着重使人愉快的效果。
• entertain指通过给他人快乐感的消遣活动，使自己或他人从单调中解脱出来。
• interest普通用词，指出于任何原因使人兴奋或对某事物保持好奇心或注意力，侧重引起兴趣或注意。
• please多指愿望、兴趣得到满足后产生的强烈满意情绪。
