词义辨析

v. (动词)

unfold, open

• 这两个词都有“打开”的意思,其区别在于：open是把原来封起来的或合起来的东西打开或揭开; 而unfold则是指把原来包起来或卷起来的东西摊开。试比较:
• Please open the envelope and let me read the letter.
• 请把信封拆开,让我读一读这封信。
• Please unfold the letter and read it for me.
• 请把信笺摊开并代我读一下。

unfold, decipher, resolve, solve, unravel

• 这组词均可指“解释模糊、神秘或不可理解的事物”。其区别是：
• solve指为一定难度的问题寻求满意的答复或解法; resolve通常指对问题或情况的各方面进行周密的分析或思索,以便得出结论或解法,但不暗示寻找答案; unfold专指逐步展开或阐明,直至结论或彻底的解决方法变得明朗; unravel强调努力、耐心地把错综复杂的事物加以整理或澄清; decipher特指译解密码,也指解释神秘、难以理解或不可思议的事物。

unfold，open

• 这两个动词均有“打开”之意。
• unfold主要指把原来包好、卷好或叠好的东西再打开。
• open普通用词，指把原来关起来或盖紧的东西打开。
