词义辨析

v. (动词)

murder, hang, kill, shoot

• 这组词都有“杀(死)”的意思。其区别是：
• 1.kill是一般用语,指任何致死的行动,不能表示“杀而未死”; murder主要指用非法手段蓄意地、有预谋地杀害某人; shoot专指用枪打死或用非法手段暗杀某人,本词有“打(杀)而未必死”之义,故若强调“打(杀)死”时需要其他词的辅助,常见的结构有:
• shoot...and kill..., shoot...to death, shoot...dead等; hang特指“绞死或吊死”。例如:
• She killed him with a hammer.她用铁锤砸死了他。
• He was murdered by his brother.他被他哥哥谋杀了。
• He shot a lion with his rifle.他用步枪打中一头狮子。
• He was hanged for murder.他因杀人而被绞死。
• 2.kill的宾语可以用于人,也可用于动物、植物; shoot的宾语可以用于人,也可用于动物; murder, hang的宾语只用于人,不能用于动物、植物。例如:
• The frost killed the flowers.严霜使花枯死。
• He shot a bird and killed it.他打中了一只鸟,并且把它打死了。
• She murdered her husband.她谋杀了她的丈夫。
• He hanged himself in sorrow after his wife died. 他妻子死后,他在悲痛之下吊死了。

kill，murder，slaughter，massacre，assassinate，execute

• 这些动词均有“杀、杀死”之意。
• kill普通用词，含义广泛，泛指以任何方式使人、动物或植物死亡。
• murder指谋杀或凶杀。
• slaughter本义指大批宰杀动物，也指像屠宰牲畜一样一次杀死许多人。
• massacre语气比slaughter强。指大屠杀，尤指屠杀失去了自卫能力的人。
• assassinate通常指因政治原因用非法手段杀害政治领袖人物或知名人士。
