词义辨析

n. (名词)

implication, meaning, sense, significance

• 这组词的共同意思是“含义”。其区别是：
• meaning意为“意义,意思,重要性”; implication着重指无需说明、解释即可理解的含蓄的、暗示的“意思”。例如:
• She smiled with the implication that she didn't believe him.她笑了,意思就是不相信他。
• sense通常指“观念,概念,含义”,也可指“感觉,意识”,在许多情况下, sense与meaning可以替换。例如:
• Some words have as many as twenty senses〔means〕.有些词有至少20个意思。
• significance着重指内在的“含义,重要性”。例如:
• He has quite realized the true significance of her actions.他完全认识到了她的行动的重要性。

meaning，implication，sense

• meaning普通用词，使用广泛，既可指语言表达的意思，又可指手势、符号、表情或艺术品或抽象概念所含的意义。
• implication指暗含的意思。
