词义辨析

v. (动词)

distinguish between, distinguish from

• distinguish between与distinguish from的意思基本相同。但between有时可以省略,意思仍然不变,而from则不可省略, distinguish from偶尔也作“使…不同于”解, distinguish between则无此义。

distinguish, differ

• 这组词的共同意思是“不同于…”。其区别是：
• distinguish既可作及物动词,也可作不及物动词,而differ只可作不及物动词。当differ译作“有区别,不同于”时,一般不以人作主语。此外, differ还可作“看法不同,与…意见相左”解,而distinguish则无此义。

distinguish, demarcate, differentiate, discriminate

• 这组词的共同意思是“区分”。其区别是：
• distinguish用于有联系的各种事物,可以相像,也可以不相像; differentiate用于同类物品; discriminate用于只有细微差别的事物,如真伪钞票; 而demarcate则用于区别明显,犹如有一条界线的事物。

discern，discriminate，distinguish

• 这些动词均有“区别、辨别”之意。
• discern语义较笼统，着重精深与准确的观察力，不一定有能力辨别关系密切的各项事物。
• discriminate语气强，指从十分相似的事物中辨出差异，尤其把好坏区分开来。
• distinguish普通用词，指辨别者的能力或实际观察到的区别，强调辨别所需的技巧。

词源解说

• ☆ 16世纪60年代进入英语，直接源自中古法语的distinguiss；最初源自古典拉丁语的distinguere，意为分辨，分开。
