acknowledge

[əkˈnɒlɪdʒ]

  • 词义辨析

    acknowledge, admit, confess, own

    这四个词都有“公开承认”的意思。它们的区别是:
    1.acknowledge和admit所承认的是不对的或不光彩的事实; confess指承认“错误及罪行”; own承认的不一定是“错误及罪行”,只是一般地表明自己的感觉及处境。例如:
    He acknowledged that he was your inferior.他承认他不及你。
    Did he admit to stealing it?他承认是他偷的吗?
    He confessed where he had hidden the money.他供出了他藏钱的地方。
    2.acknowledge强调在一定压力下承认, admit强调勉强承认。例如:
    Dan acknowledged himself as criminal.达恩承认自己是罪人。
    I admit to a natural fear.我承认生来胆小。
    3.acknowledge所承认的一般是隐蔽的, admit, confess和own所承认的不一定是隐蔽的。例如:
    Jane acknowledged using her father's motor-car.珍妮承认用了她父亲的摩托车。
    They admitted my statement to be reasonable.他们承认我的陈述有道理。
    The police have confessed themselves completely puzzled by this strange crime.警方承认他们完全被这桩奇特的罪案搞糊涂了。
    4.confess语气上较强,属正式语体; own则不如confess正式。
    5.这四个词用作及物动词时,都可接简单宾语或复合宾语,除own外,其他词都可接动名词。admit, confess和own用作不及物动词都可与介词to搭配,其后都可接动名词。例如:
    They acknowledged having been defeated.他们认输了。
    He confessed taking part in a plot to free the prisoner.他供认自己参与了企图营救那个囚犯的密谋。
    She admitted having done wrong.她承认自己做错了。

    acknowledge, recognize

    这两个词都有“承认”的意思,常可互换使用。它们的区别是:
    1.recognize一般指认可某一现象存在; acknowledge一般指承认某一事件真实。
    2.recognize还可指“承认”某一国家具有合法性; acknowledge还可指在一定压力下向大家公开承认某件隐私或不光彩的事实。
    3.recognize还有“认出,认识到”的意思; acknowledge还可表示“感谢”。

    acknowledge,admit,confess,recognize,concede

    这些动词都含“承认”之意。
    acknowledge通常指公开承认某事的真实情况或自己的过错。
    admit强调因外力或良心驱使或经判断而明确承认,多含不情愿或被迫意味。
    confess语气较强,着重承认自己意识到的错误或罪行,含坦白忏悔的意味。
    recognize作“承认”解时,系书面用词,主要指合法的或外交上的承认,也指公认。
    concede指在事实与证据面前勉强或不得不承认。
