  • 词义辨析

    sink, descend, drop, fall

    这四个词都可表示物体向下降落。它们之间的区别是:
    1.sink指在空气或水中垂直下降、下沉; descend则通常指沿斜线或斜坡下降; 而drop与fall都可指急速地向下坠落,可直可斜。例如:
    The walk descends sharply.小路下倾得很厉害。
    The ship struck against the rocks and sank.那船触礁沉没了。
    We saw an apple falling〔dropping〕 down from the tree yesterday.昨天我们看见一个苹果从树上掉下来。
    2.drop指物体由于重力从高处往下落; fall指物体由于不明原因或物体本身失去平衡而向下降落,有自然下落的意思。例如:
    She dropped the cup.她把杯子弄掉了。
    Leaves fall in autumn.秋天树叶下落。
    3.drop通常是有意识、有目的地下落; 而fall则往往是无意识地下落。例如:
    The enemy planes dropped bombs.敌机投下了炸弹。
    Rain is falling fast.雨下得很大。
    4.drop引申可表示物价的降落; sink还可指精力或意识逐渐丧失。例如:
    The price of oil has dropped sharply.石油价格暴跌。
    His heart sank.他感到沮丧。
    5.drop一般用作及物动词,偶尔也用作不及物动词; fall则通常用作不及物动词。

    下面两句意思不同:

    His eyes sank.
    他目光下垂。
    His eyes sank in.
    他眼睛下陷。

    descend,drop,fall,sink

    这些动词都表示“落下,下降”之意。
    descend通常指沿斜线或斜坡下降。
    drop指物体从一定高度落下。
    fall与drop同义,指突然或猛烈地降落,但fall也可指任何下落,同高度或形式无关。
    sink指在空气或水中垂直下降、下沉。
