词义辨析

v. (动词)

compete, contend, contest

• 这组词的共同意思是“争论,竞争”。其区别在于:
• compete指在体育或辩论等需竞争的活动中,为征服或取胜而进行的努力,有时暗示在奖赏的鼓励或刺激下进行竞争; 而contend暗示竞争的紧张程度，通常指双方成功的机会相等,所以,为取胜或征服对方,就需要艰苦的努力,强调奋斗或斗争的必要性; contest则指在竞争中毫无保留地展示自己,比如在总统竞选中,双方尽力展示自己的优势,以战胜对方。

compete，contend，contest，rival

• 这些动词均可表示“竞争”之意。
• compete普通用词，含义广泛。既可指体育活动等活动中争取优胜的相互竞争，也可指为了自己的利益与他人竞争。
• contend指为战胜或击败对手进行不懈努力，强调拼搏。也可指口头上进行有对立情绪或严重分歧的争论。
• contest指为争夺土地、阵地、权力或荣誉等而展开的竞争。
• rival指在两方或多方的竞争或比赛中，谁都想战胜或比得上对手。
