v. (動詞)
- demolish, break, destroy, ruin
-
- 這組詞都含有“破壞”“毀壞”“消滅”的意思。其區別在于:
- 1.destroy和ruin這兩個詞所表示的“毀壞”都含有“徹底”的意味,有時可互換。destroy強調“徹底性”; ruin強調不可修復。例如:
- The rain has ruined〔destroyed〕 the crops.這雨把莊稼全毀了。
- 2.break, destroy和demolish的主語可以是人,也可以是事物; 而ruin的主語多為天災人禍等無形的力量。例如:
- The windshield broke but did not shatter.擋風玻璃裂了,但沒有碎。
- All the intruders were destroyed.所有的入侵者都被殲滅了。
- That street was demolished a few years ago.那條街于幾年前拆除了。
- She has a very real grievance against the hospital since the operation which ruined her health.自從她做過手術后,健康狀況變壞,所以她確實對醫院有怨言。
- 3.break的賓語可以是有形物,也可以是非物質性的事物; destroy和demolish用于具體事物可指“高樓大廈”等; 用于抽象事物時destroy指“名譽”“聲望”等, demolish則指某人的論點、論據等。ruin的賓語則多是美好珍貴的事物。例如:
- His mother's heart will break if he leaves her.如果他離開母親,她的心會碎的。
- All his hopes were now destroyed.他的一切希望現在都破滅了。
- We have demolished all her arguments and she has nothing more to say.我們推翻了她所有的論點,她無言以對。

- 4.break可用作及物動詞,也可用作不及物動詞; destroy和demolish只用作及物動詞; 而ruin多用作及物動詞,偶爾可用作不及物動詞。例如:

-
- 這組詞都有“破壞,毀壞”的意思。其區別是：
- 1.damage一般指“部分的破壞”,通常作“損壞”解,意味著損壞后價值減少或作用減小,有時可用于借喻中。
- 2.demolish是正式用語,指由于巨大外力或急速、猛烈的動作而造成的破壞,其破壞力甚至達到粉碎的程度,往往只剩下一堆廢墟或殘骸。例如:
- Many buildings had to be demolished before the new highway could be built.必須拆毀許多建筑物才能修建新公路。
