词义辨析

n. (名词)

cast, fling, hurl, pitch, throw, toss

• 这组词的共同意思是“投,掷,抛”,都可指用工具或徒手将物体用力抛出。其区别是：
• 1.throw是这些词中最普通的词,使用广泛,也不带任何感情色彩。
• 2.cast强调“迅速抛出”；fling强调“奋力抛出”；hurl指用力投掷,动作迅猛,强调投掷的距离较“远”；pitch强调“技巧性”,主要用于体育项目；toss则指“轻松、不在意或无目的地乱甩”。
• 3.cast和toss所抛出的物品一般较轻,其余各词则可轻可重。
• 4.hurl和pitch的方向性、目的性比较明确，其余各词则没有明确的方向性和目的性。
• 5.fling指奋力投掷,也可指感情激动时漫无目标地、粗暴地扔东西,具有强烈的感情色彩。
