  • 词义辨析

    further, farther

    1.这两个词都是far的比较级,在英式英语中这两个词皆可表示距离,有时可以换用。例如:
    We had to travel farther〔further〕 than I had expected.我们只好走得比我们预计的更远。
    2.在美式英语中,表示地点上的距离只能用farther,不能用further。
    3.further可用作抽象含义,用来表示程度和分量,意思是“进一步的”“深层的”“更多的”; 而farther只能表示地点上的具体距离,不能用作抽象含义。
    4.从词源来看, farther是far的比较级, further是fore或forth的比较级。在现代口语中, farther和further实际上已混用,但further更为人们所采用,而farther有渐趋消亡之势。

    further, advance, promote

    这三个词共同的意思是“促进”,都用作及物动词。它们之间的区别是:
    1.advance强调的是效果; promote强调的是外界的有利条件。例如:
    Selfless patriots advanced the cause of liberation.无私的爱国者促进了解放事业的发展。
    A good example serves to promote good manners in the young.好榜样可促使青年人讲礼貌。
    2.advance的动机一般是好的; 而promote有时指带有特殊动机的援助。例如:
    He promoted his own welfare at the expense of others.他不惜以他人利益为代价换取自己的利益。
    3.promote一般指发展积极因素; advance主要指发展积极因素,偶尔可指消极的副作用; further则不带任何色彩,既可指发展积极因素,也可指追求消极目的。例如:
    We'll do all we can to further your plans.我们将竭尽全力推进你的计划。
    Crisis conditions furthered the spreading of rumours.危机更加剧了这种谣言的传播。
