    compensate, atone, redeem

    这组词都表示“补偿”。它们的区别是:
    compensate主要含有“赔偿(损失)”“酬报(劳役)”等意思; redeem主要含有“赎回(抵押品)”“弥补(过错)”“挽回(荣誉)”等意思; atone与for连用表示“赎”“补偿(过失或过错)”,但atone只能用于比较严重的场合。

    compensate, balance, counterbalance, counterpoise, countervail, offset

    这组词都可表示“赔偿,弥补”。它们的区别是:
    compensate表示“赔偿”,意思最广泛,可以指补偿损失、酬报劳役、弥补缺陷等; countervail表示“补偿”,强调在能力或效率方面可以抵消已造成的影响、伤害或损失。balance表示“弥补”,指相互调节,以达到在数量、质量、大小、重要性或效率等方面的平衡或均衡; offset表示“弥补”,强调在善与恶、得与失、赢与亏等方面的均衡; counterbalance表示“弥补”“抵消”,多指弥补不足之处; counterpoise表示“抵消”“均衡”,指提供相同的重量或相等的价值等。

    compensate, indemnify, pay, reimburse, remunerate, satisfy

    这组词都可表示“报偿”。它们的区别在于:

    All expenses will be reimbursed to the customer for any loss or damage.一切费用都能给你报销。
