  • 词义辨析

    amuse, divert, entertain, recreate

    这组词都有“娱乐”的意思。amuse强调娱乐时的专心致志,主要指轻松、琐碎、没有什么目的的消遣活动。divert强调以不同的乐事去分散注意力。entertain指能够提供娱乐的消遣活动。recreate则指为使头脑清醒,身体松弛而变换的消遣活动。

    amuse, interest, please

    这三个词共同的意思是“使人感兴趣”。它们的区别在于:interest意为“引起兴趣,使人感兴趣”,着重于“引起”; amuse意为“给…娱乐,消遣”,在被动句中,后面跟介词at, by, with引出的短语或动词不定式; please意为“使人满意,使人高兴”,在被动句中,多与介词about, by, with连用,不用于进行体。例如:
    He became very interested in science.他对科学变得感兴趣了。
    We were amused with the beautiful scenery.那美丽的风景使我们感到愉悦。
    I have been very much pleased by your analysis of the situation.我十分满意你对形势的分析。

    amuse,entertain,interest,please

    这些动词都含有“使人娱乐,消遣”之意。
    amuse指使人通过注意某些有趣或悦人的事物而消遣,着重使人愉快的效果。
    entertain指通过给他人快乐感的消遣活动,使自己或他人从单调中解脱出来。
    interest普通用词,指出于任何原因使人兴奋或对某事物保持好奇心或注意力,侧重引起兴趣或注意。
    please多指愿望、兴趣得到满足后产生的强烈满意情绪。
