词义辨析

v. (动词)

hold, have, have got, occupy, own

• 这组词(组)的共同意思是“有”“拥有”“具有”。其区别是：
• 1.have既可指有生命物及无生命物之间的所属关系,也可指部分与整体的关系,或指精神上、身体上的特点; have got与have意义相同,但在口语中比have用得广泛; own则指具有在法律上的所有权,即使不在身边的东西,只要拥有法律上的所有权,就应用own; hold语气较强,有占据、控制、抓住〔保持〕住某物的意思; 而occupy则指占有空间、时间或占领、占据某地,或拥有某种职务或地位等。例如:
• I didn't have the books that she asked for.我没有她所要的书。
• Your books have got all over the place.你的书到处都是。
• They don't hold the power to hire or fire at will.他们没有雇用或随意解雇的权力。
• Enemy troops occupied the country.敌军占领了这个国家。
• 2.have是普通用语,在这几个词中概念最广,运用最广泛。own的主语只能是人。例如:
• These enterprises are owned by him.这些企业是属于他的。

hold, contain

• 这两个词都有“容纳”的意思。其区别在于:contain指实际所包含的部分,而hold强调能包含的能力。例如:
• The bookcase contains fifty volumes but holds a hundred.这书柜装有50册书,但它能装下100册。
• A bookshelf held 100 books perhaps only contains 50 ones.一个可容纳100本书的书架可能只装50本书。

hold, keep

• 这两个词都有“保存,保持”的意思,其区别在于:keep“保存”或“保持”的时间较长,而hold“保存”或“保持”的时间较短。

hold, open

• 这两个词的词义相近,但并不相同。hold指“举行”会议、会谈、比赛等; 而open则指为大楼等举行揭幕典礼或宣布会议、运动会等开幕。例如:
• They decided to hold a meeting next Tuesday.他们决定下星期二举行一次会议。
• The exhibition will open the day after tomorrow.展览会将在后天开幕。

hold, catch, grasp, grip

• 这组词的共同意思是“掌握”。其区别是：
• hold含义最广,指抓牢或掌握具体或抽象的事物; grip指全力紧抓事物; grasp常指对抽象理论、原理的领悟或理解; catch指拼命抓牢不放,唯恐其滑掉或丢失,比其他三个词更强调控制。例如:
• Hold the reins tight.把缰绳抓紧。
• I threw the ball, and the dog caught it in his mouth.我把球抛出,狗用嘴接住了球。
• I think I grasped the main points of the speech.我想我已经领会了演说的要点。
• She gripped my hand in fear.她因害怕而紧握住我的手。

hold up, uphold

• 这两个词(组)的共同意思是“支持”“承受”,指支撑重量时两者可换用。例如:
• Stout columns uphold〔hold〕 up the roof.牢固的柱子支撑着屋顶。
• The building's heavy roof was upheld〔held〕 up by four columns.建筑物沉重的屋顶靠四根柱子支撑着。其区别是：
• 1.uphold常用作引申义,指人对某事的支持、对制度的维护等; hold up几乎不用于比喻义。例如:
• They upheld our opinions.他们支持我们的意见。
• The Supreme Court is expected to uphold the death sentence.预计最高法院将维持死刑的原判。
• 2.hold up可作“举起 ”解, uphold无此义。例如:
• He held up the map so it could be seen more clearly.他举起地图,这样可以看得更清楚些。

hold still, keep still

• 这两个短语中hold和keep都用作系动词, still是形容词作表语,在作“坚持不动”解时,两者可互换,只是hold still是美式英语; 而keep still是英式英语。另外, keep still还有“保持沉默”的意思,而hold still则无此义。

contain，include，embrace，involve，comprehend，hold，comprise

• 这些动词均含有“包括，包含”之意。
• contain普通用词，所涉及的物体常常是其组成部分或内容。强调包容关系。既可指具体有形的东西，也可指抽象无形的东西。
• include普通用词，指一整体包含着各独立的部分，也指某东西包含另一东西的某一部分。
• embrace正式用词，指把某事物纳入整个之中。
• involve指包含因整体的性质决定的成分或结果。所包括的往往是无形的，不可触知的东西，多用作引申。
• comprehend正式用词，指包含在整体范围以内。
• hold常和contain换用。指能够容纳或有足够的容纳量。强调包容能力。
• comprise书面用词，暗指一个整体包括不同部分所组成，可与include交换使用。

n. (名词)

1. 他对他弟弟有影响力。

   误 He had hold over his younger brother.

   正 He had a hold over his younger brother.
