词义辨析

v. (动词)

commit, perpetrate

• 这组词都有“犯错误或犯罪”的意思。其区别是：
• commit可指犯错误,也可指犯罪的行动,还可指一般的“做”或“作”; perpetrate主要指犯罪,语意很强,即使宾语为中性词,也能表示出犯罪的意思。

commit, confide, consign, entrust, relegate

• 这组词都有“委托”的意思。其区别是：
• commit泛指委托给别人负责,意思最广泛; entrust表示“委托,托管”,强调对别人的信任; confide表示“托付,信赖”,强调对别人依赖和放心; consign表示“委托,交付”,指比较正式的委托; relegate表示“把…委托给”,侧重抛弃或摆脱。

词源解说

• ☆ 14世纪晚期进入英语，直接源自拉丁语的committere：com (一起） + mittere (放，处理），意为放到一起处理。
