七、词义辨析
v.(动词)- keep open doors, keep the door open
- 这两个短语区别有三:
- 1.前者的意思是“好客”或“对客人盛情招待”; 后者的意思是“使门保持开着”。
- 2.前者中的doors是复数形式,其前无冠词; 而后者中的door则根据实际情况，可用单数,也可用复数。
- 3.前者中的open位于doors之前,作定语; 后者中的open位于door之后,作宾语补足语。
- keep shop, keep a shop
- 这两个短语的区别是:
- 1.前者的意思是“照管店务”; 后者的意思是“开一个店铺”。
- 2.前者中的shop是不可数名词,无单复数之分; 后者中的shop是可数名词,可根据实际情况而用单复数。例如:
- His father kept two shops in the countryside.他父亲在乡间开了两个小店。
- keep silent, keep silence
- 这两个短语意思不能混淆:前者的意思是“不吭声”或“默不作声”,后者的意思是“保持安静”。试比较:
- He was unable to keep silent any longer.
- 他再也不能保持沉默了。
- I hope you will keep silence while I am away.
- 我出去后,我希望你安静些。
- keep v-ing, keep on v-ing
- 这两个短语意思相同,在表示每隔一段时间就发生的动作时,一般可互换。其区别仅在于:
- 1.keep v -ing中的 v -ing是分词作表语, keep on v -ing中的 v -ing是动名词作宾语。
- 2.keep v -ing强调动作的连续性和客观性; 而keep on v -ing强调动作的重复性或动作执行者的决心,常含有一定的感情色彩。
- 3.keep v -ing还可表示持续不间断的状态或动作,而keep on v -ing无此用法。
- keep one's word, promise
- 这两者均含有“许诺”之意。其区别是：
- promise指“许诺”,只指意图,而不指义务,只指美好的愿望,不指坏的意图; keep one's word则指作出promise后遵守自己的诺言。例如:
- He promised to come and see me today, but he failed to keep his word.他答应今天来看我,但他没能守约。
- I'll keep my word;I'll tell him everything.我将遵守诺言,把一切告诉他。
- keep, detain
- 这组词都有“留住,耽搁”的意思。其区别在于:
- 1.detain尤指警察进行“拘留”,一般指“留住,耽搁”时,常含有强迫之意; keep多用于口语中。
- 2.detain比keep语气重,且更正式。
- keep, hold
- 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。
- keep, preserve, reserve, retain
- 这组词都有“保存”“保留”或“保持”的意思。其区别在于:
- 1.keep指把某一事物置于自己的权力或管理之下; retain和reserve同义,均指继续“保持”或“保存”某事物, retain是较为正式的用语,还可指记住某事; preserve指把某物“收藏”或“保存”好。
- 2.retain含有不失去的意味; reserve则强调继续保持而不致失去; preserve强调防止破坏作用,要采取措施使某物完好无损或质量不变。例如:
- His business has been taken over by a big corporation, but he still retains some control over it.他的商店被一家大公司接管了,但他仍保留部分控制权。
- You'd better reserve your strength for tomorrow's climb.你最好留点力气明天爬山。
- Salt preserves food from decay.盐能防止食物腐烂。
- keep the door open, leave the door open
- 这两者都是“让门开着的意思”,其区别在于:前者是有意地,后者多是无意地。试比较以下两句:
- Do not leave the door open at night!
- 夜间不要让门开着!
- She kept the door open at night to wait for her husband.
- 她夜间一直开着门等丈夫回来。
- keep away from, avoid, evade, shun
- 这组词（组）都有“逃避,避开”的意思,它们的区别是：
- 1.evade多用于指避开当前极不希望的事物或场合; shun则多用于避开一贯不喜欢的事物或场合; 而avoid则既可指避开当前极不希望的事物或场合,也可指避开一贯不喜欢的事物或场合。
- 2.avoid强调消极地避开; evade多指用巧妙而有策略的方法积极避开; shun指主体积极设法避开,但表示不愿接近的心情更鲜明。
- 3.avoid, evade, shun都可用名词作宾语,但avoid和shun还可用动名词作直接宾语。
- 4.keep away from常用于口语,指避开、不接近。
- keep up with, catch up with
- 这两个短语都可表示“赶上”。其区别是：
- catch up with表示从落后的状态迎头赶上; keep up with表示跟上某人以至不落后。例如:
- You go on;I will soon catch up with you.
- 你先走,我很快会赶上你的。
- She had to run to keep up with them.
- 她得跑步才能跟上他们。
- keep still, hold 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。
