  • 词义辨析

    mistake, error, fault, flaw

    这四个词都有“缺点,错误”的意思。它们的区别是:
    1.fault, flaw主要指“毛病,缺点”; mistake, error主要指“错误”。
    2.fault多指性格、心智状态、情绪、行为或习惯中的“缺点”。例如:
    The dean demands perfection in others, but cannot see faults in himself.系主任要求别人完美无缺,却看不到自己的缺点。
    3.error可指任何错误,也可指笔误,印刷上或计算上的错误。例如:
    Please pardon any error that you may discover in my letter.请原谅在我的信中你发现的一些错误。
    This book contains a lot of printer's errors.这本书有很多印刷错误。

    下面两个句子的意思相同:

    It was a mistake to appoint her.
    It was a mistake appointing her.
    任命她是一种错误。

    mistake, confound, confuse

    这三个词共同的意思是“混淆”。它们之间的区别是:mistake强调产生进一步的后果或作出进一步的动作; confuse指由于未能区别两种类似的或有共同特点的事物而产生混淆; confound则通常强调由于思维混乱或愚笨而产生概念不清。
