    pause, cease, stop

    这组词都有“停止”的意思。它们的区别在于:
    1.pause多指片刻的停顿或“暂停”。
    2.stop是普通用词,既可指动作、行为的迅速中断,也可指某种状态的结束。例如:
    They stopped for a brief rest.他们停下来休息片刻。
    He began to speak but suddenly stopped.他开始讲话,但又突然停住了。
    Seeing that I was coming, they stopped talking.看见我来了,他们停止了谈话。

    His influence ceased with his death.他的影响已随着他去世而消失了。
    He ceased from teaching.他结束了教书生涯。
    At last they have ceased work.最后他们停止工作了。

    pause, break

    2.pause没有break那样急遽突然,语气也较缓和。例如:
    The workmen took a break so we enjoyed a brief respite from the noises.工人们休息了一下,所以我们能享受片刻的安宁。
    Government sources said there would be no prolonged pause in the war.据官方消息,这场战争的时间不会长。
