词义辨析

v. (动词)

express, air, broach, utter, vent, voice

• 这组词都有“表达”的意思。其区别是：
• express含义最广,可指口头、笔头或用其他任何方式表达思想、感情、经历、构思或个性; air指宣扬某人的看法,希望引起公众的注意或获得同情; broach强调首次提出,尤指经过深思熟虑之后或等待辩论; vent强调无法控制地发泄或吐露强烈感情; voice专指用言语强有力地表达出一个人的思想、意见或感情; utter指突然发出某种强烈的声音。例如:
• I can't express it properly.我不能恰当地把它表达出来。
• He is ready to air his views to anyone.他乐于向人发表他的观点。
• At last he broached the subject of the new contract to them.最后他向他们提出新合同的问题。
• The wounded man uttered a groan.那受伤的人发出痛苦的呻吟。
• He had had a bad day at work and vented his anger on his family.他整天不顺心,便拿家里人出气。
• The chairman encouraged us all to voice our opinions.主席鼓励我们发表自己的意见。

下面三个句子的意思相同:

• No words can express my sorrow and regret.
• I cannot express my sorrow and regret in words.
• I cannot express my sorrow and regret.
• 我无法用语言表达我的悲伤和懊悔。

adv. (副词)

express, expressly

• 这两个词的区别是:express表示“快速投递”“快车代步”; expressly则表示“明白地”。例如:
• Please send these letters express.
• 请把这几封信用快邮投递。
• We have explained everything expressly.
• 我们已把每件事情交代得清清楚楚。

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 我简直无法表达我当时的想法。

   误 I could hardly express that I thought then.

   正 I could hardly express my opinion that I thought then.

   析 express之后不能直接接that从句。

2. 我想向你表示衷心的感谢。

   误 Let me express you our heartfelt thanks.

   正 Let me express our heartfelt thanks to you.

   析 express不可以人作宾语,也不可用于express sb sth 结构。如要表达“对某人表示…”,可用express sth to sb 结构。

3. 他仍不能用英语表达自己的感情。

   误 He is still unable to express his own ideas in English.

   正 He is still unable to express himself in English.

   析 “表达自己的观点”应说express oneself。误句不合英语习惯。

词源解说

• ☆ 14世纪晚期进入英语，直接源自中世纪拉丁语的expressare：ex (出，外) + press （挤压），意为向外挤出。
