  • 词义辨析

    decide sth, decide on sth

    decide sth 意为“决定”“解决”,表示解决某个悬而未决的问题,使用范围较窄,一般接question, case, argument, dispute, outcome, match, fate等; 而decide on sb/sth 意思是“选定”“决定”,表示从几个事物或人中选定一个,使用范围较广。

    decide about, decide on

    这两个短语都有“决定”的意思。它们的区别在于:
    1.必须作出决定而涉及的一般事物用 about ,已决定的事情用on。例如:
    We still have to decide about a date for the meeting.我们还得决定一个开会的日期。
    What date have you decided on?你已决定什么日期?
    2.decide跟on连用时表示“就重大事情作出决定”或在多种情况〔事物〕中“作出选择”; 与about连用时表示“就一般事情作出决定”。例如:
    She decided about the red shoes.她决定买这双红鞋。
    They decided on the route they were to take in development.他们确定了在发展中要走的路线。

    decide, determine, fix, make up one's mind, resolve, settle

    这组词(组)都有“决定”的意思。它们的区别在于:
    1.decide是普通用词,指经过讨论、思考消除分歧而对是非、优劣、取舍等问题“作出决定”; resolve强调信念的目的性; 而settle则强调最后的“决定”。例如:
    From that moment she resolved to trace the unknown element.从那时起,她决心找出这种未知的元素。
    He resolved that nothing should hold back.他决心不为任何阻碍所挫。
    The heavy rain might settle the changeable weather.这场大雨也许能使变幻不定的天气稳定下来。
    2.determine强调“意志坚定”“不可动摇”,也常用于科技方面通过调查或认真思考后作出“决定”或“确定”。例如:
    His advice determined me against further delay.他的劝告使我决定不再拖延。
    He is determined to break away all the bad habits.他决心改掉所有坏习惯。
    An X-ray determined that no bones were broken.经X光测定,没有发生骨折。
    3.fix指经过考虑和商议后作出决定,强调不再改变。例如:
    Once the aim is fixed, we should not change it arbitrarily.目标一经确定,我们就不要随意改变。
    4.make up one's mind指下决心做某事,不再改变。例如:
    Have you made up your mind about it?关于这件事,你拿定主意了没有?
    They have made up their minds to set off tomorrow afternoon.他们决定明天下午动身。

    下面三句话的意思不同:

    They have decided the matter.
    他们已经决定了那件事。
    They have decided about the matter.
    关于那件事,他们已下了决心。
    They have decided on the matter.
    他们已赞同那件事。

    decide,determine,resolve,settle

    这些动词都含“决定”之意。
    decide侧重指经过思考、比较、讨论或询问之后做出的决定。
    determine指经过深思熟虑,决心去做某事并坚持施行。
    resolve语气较强,强调以坚定不移的信念去做或不做某事,暗含有远大抱负和坚强决心。
    settle指排除犹豫、怀疑和争论之后作出明确的最终结论。
