herd, drove, flock, pack, school, swarm

• 这组词都可作“群”解。其区别在于：flock是鸟或兽群的通俗用语,特指绵羊、山羊的“群”; herd通常指大动物的“群”,特指家畜的“群”; drove指被驱赶着的牛、羊、猪等的“群”; pack指猎犬、狼、狐、恶人等,用来指人群时含有轻蔑的意味; swarm指蜜蜂、昆虫等的“群”; school指水栖动物的“群”,如鱼、虾等。例如:
• This is a drove of deer.这是一群鹿。
• There are a flock of wild ducks in the pool.池塘里有一群野鸭。
• A pack of hounds chased the fox.一群猎狗追猎那只狐狸。
• I keep a large herd of cattle.我养一大群牛。

herd, band, circle, crowd, gang, group, host, mass, mob, multitude, set

• 这组词的共同意思 是“一伙人”。其区别在于：
• 1.从组成上说：band常指有共同目的的、有领导者的一群人。 circle指因志同道合而形成的圈子或结成的团体，聚会频繁，文明高雅。crowd指毫无秩序地挤在一起的人群， 含有混乱、拥挤的意味。gang指为一个目标而聚在一起的一伙人， 常指在一起干坏事的人。group既可指有组织、有秩序的一群人， 也可指为一定目的临时聚在一起的一伙人；可指志趣相投的人，也可指社会团体；关系可密切，也可以是泛泛之交。herd 指有盲目追随心理的一群人。host指散落开来的一群人，也指军队或备有武装的人。mass指群众， 民众。mob指乌合之众或心怀不满而聚在一起寻衅滋事的一群人。multitude常指人数庞大的人群。set指有共同社会地位或相同目的的社会团体，也可泛指广泛的人群， 有时可指势力集团。
• 2.从用法上说：mass常用于复数形式；set常用于单数形式。
• 3.从修辞色彩上说：band, gang, herd, mob多含贬义；set指势力集团时也含有贬义。
• 4.从语体上说：host, set是口语用词；multitude是正式用词或较陈旧用词。
