词义辨析

n. (名词)

act the fool, act like a fool

• 这两个短语的意思基本相同,只是前者强调主观上是有意识的装傻,后者意为举止行为客观上看来如同傻子一般。例如:
• Stop acting the fool; it annoys me.
• 别装傻,我讨厌。
• Don't act like a fool.
• 别像傻子似的。

下面三句的意思相同:

• He is nobody's fool.
• He is no fool.
• He is prudent.
• 他很精明。

下面两个句子意思不同:

• He is not a fool.
• 他不是傻瓜。
• He is no fool.
• 他绝不傻。

v. (动词)

fool, cheat, deceive, delude, trick

• 这组词都有“欺骗”的意思。其区别是：
• 1.在手段上, cheat是造假、作弊、做假动作; deceive是歪曲事实,隐瞒真相，耍两面派; delude则是指用虚伪的意见或信念欺骗。
• 2.在目的上, cheat指的是骗财、骗物、骗色,即为了谋取私利或占便宜而采取不诚实的手段进行欺骗; deceive是使人产生错误印象; delude则是使人产生错误的想法。
• 3.cheat还可以作不及物动词,指在考试、买卖、竞赛中的欺骗行为,而deceive却只能作及物动词。
• 4.deceive用于被动语态的句子中或当deceive后面用反身代词时,常常强调“弄错了”的结果,不一定是有意识的欺骗; cheat则没有此用法。
• 5.fool着重强调“愚弄”，往往指把对方当作弱者或愚者而“玩弄，哄骗”。
• 6.trick作“哄骗”解时,多指用计谋使人相信某一不真实之事或去做傻事,多非出于恶意。

cheat，deceive，trick，fool

• 这些动词均含有“欺骗”之意。
• cheat普通用词，指用蒙蔽他人的手段取得所需之物，尤多指在赢利的买卖中欺骗人。
• deceive最普通用词，指用虚假外表使人信以为真，或蓄意歪曲事实，或造成错误印象使人上当受骗。
• trick指用阴谋诡计等骗得信任或得到所需之物。
• fool指把别人当傻瓜，愚弄欺骗别人。
