v. (動詞)
-
decline用作動詞的基本意思是有禮貌地拒絕邀請、給予或服務。引申可表示“衰落,降低”“傾斜,下降”“下沉”。作“辭謝,謝絕”解時多用作及物動詞,其后可接名詞、動名詞或動詞不定式作賓語。作“衰落”解時只用作不及物動詞。
v. (動詞)
- decline, refuse, reject
-
- 這三個詞的共同意思是“拒絕”。其區別是：
- 1.從語氣上來說, refuse是最普通的用詞,一般指直接地拒絕,語氣不那么委婉。decline語氣較委婉,相當于漢語的“謝絕”。例如:
- He declined my invitation because of a previous appointment.因另有約會在先,他謝絕了我的邀請。
- reject語氣強烈,用于正式場合,如外交和商業條款之類,表示當面明確地拒絕所給、所請、所提議之事,另外還有拋棄或剔除不適當的或不喜歡的東西的意味。例如:
- He rejected my friendly advice upon further consideration.他經過進一步的考慮,明確地拒絕了我友好的建議。
- 2.從搭配上來說,這三個詞都可接名詞(如an offer)作賓語,但invitation只能與refer, decline搭配; suggestion只能與reject, decline搭配; permission只能與refuse搭配; plan只能與reject搭配。另外refuse和decline都可接動詞不定式作賓語,而reject則不可以。例如:
- He refused〔declined〕 to join us in the game.他拒絕與我們一起游戲。
- refuse，decline，reject，repel，deny
-
- 這些動詞均含“拒絕”之意。
- refuse語氣較重，指態度堅決，肯定無疑的拒絕。
- decline指婉言謝絕他人的幫助或邀請等。
- reject多指由于某物某事某行為不能讓人滿意而被當面直截了當地拒絕，與之相近的是spurn，鄙棄之意。
- repel作“拒絕”解時，語氣比reject強。
- deny指否認（觀點）。
- ☆ 14世紀初期進入英語，直接源自古法語的decliner，意為折彎，轉彎；最初源自拉丁語的declinare：de (從） + clinare (彎曲）。
