词义辨析

n. (名词)

match, game, play, sport, tournament

• 这组词的共同意思是“运动,竞技,比赛”。其区别在于:
• 1.sport一般指体力运动,如爬山、滑水、钓鱼等; game指常有一定的规则,而且决定胜负的脑力或体力劳动的“竞技”; match多指网球、足球、高尔夫球等运动项目的比赛,常用在英国; play泛指无目的或结果的消遣或娱乐活动; tournament指通过不同级别的比赛而夺魁的体育项目“比赛”“锦标赛”“联赛”。例如:
• Swimming, fishing and horse racing are his favorite sports.游泳、钓鱼和赛马是他最喜欢的运动。
• The golf match will be held tomorrow morning.明天上午举行高尔夫球赛。
• Which side won the football game yesterday?昨天的足球赛哪一队赢了?
• He is fond of play.他喜欢玩。

• 2.sport和game既可指室内也可指室外的活动; match和tournament一般指室外活动。
• 3.网球赛一局称game,加起来称为match。

v. (动词)

match, rival

• 这两个词的共同意思是“相比”。其区别在于:match着重指在力量、完美程度方面比得过、比得上; rival通常指在竞争中显示出强或优于与之相比的对象。例如:
• No one could match the skill of the well-known archer.没有哪个人的技艺能比得上那位出名的射箭运动员。
• Ships cannot rival aircraft for speed.在速度方面轮船无法与飞机相比。

match, approach, equal, touch

• 这四个词都含有在某一方面接近或达其他事物的水平或标准的意思。其区别是：
• 1.equal和match都可表示达到同一水平或标准,不存在差别; equal侧重“相等”; match侧重“相匹敌”。另外, match主要用于力量、表现、兴趣、美感等方面; 而 equal 主要用在数量、价值、程度等方面。例如:
• The pattern on this material matches that of the sofa.这块料上的图案与沙发上的相当。
• 2.approach和touch都表示该事物非常接近另一事物, touch的意思是“赶得上”,两者的差别几乎看不出来; 而approach表示的差别虽微乎其微,但却可看出,即approach表示的差别比touch大些。另外, approach的意思是“向…接近”,表示一个持续的动作,所以可用于进行体,而touch则不能用于进行体。例如:
• His work is approaching perfection.他的作品接近完美无缺。
• No one can touch him as an actor of tragic roles.作为一个扮演悲剧角色的演员,没人能够赶得上他。

match, adjust, fit

• 这三个词都有“适应”“适合”的含义。其区别是：
• fit是一般用语,意味很广,指适合条件、环境、目的、要求等,用于衣服、帽子等时,指它们的形状或大小适合身体; match多指“大小、色调、形状、性质等方面的搭配”; adjust指“(作些)调整使完全符合或适应”,一般与具体事物连用,有时也用反身代词作宾语。例如:
• Try the new key and see if it fits.试试新配的钥匙,看看是否合适。
• We should get some new curtains to match the carpet.我们应该买些新窗帘来配这条地毯。
• She adjusted the lamp so that the light fell directly on her book.她把灯移动了一下,使灯光正好照在书上。

下列两句的意思相同:

• These ribbons don't match your hat.
• These ribbons don't match with your hat.
• 这些帽带与你的帽子不匹配。

competition，contest，match

• 这些名词均有“比赛，竞争”之意。
• competition多指体育运动中的各项比赛、角逐，也指知识、技巧等方面的竞赛。
• contest多指在音乐、书法、演讲等方面所进行的比赛或竞争。其结果，由评判委员会裁决。
• match通常指体育运动项目的比赛，隐含势均力敌意味。

match，equal，rival

• 这些动词均含“相称、比得上、与……相比”之意。
• match指对手之间力量、强度、性能或利益等的较量或竞争。
• equal指在数量、价值或程度等方面已完全相等。
