approve,confirm,sanction

這些動(dòng)詞均有“批準(zhǔn)”之意。 approve普通用詞，常指正式的或官方的批準(zhǔn)。 confirm強(qiáng)調(diào)按法律程序提請(qǐng)確認(rèn)或批準(zhǔn)。 sanction語(yǔ)氣最強(qiáng)，多指官方的同意或批準(zhǔn)，是書面用詞。


三、詞義辨析：


confirm,verify

這兩個(gè)動(dòng)詞都有“證實(shí)”之意。 confirm側(cè)重以事實(shí)或以不容置疑的陳述來(lái)證實(shí)某事的正確與真實(shí)。 verify強(qiáng)調(diào)以具體的事實(shí)和細(xì)節(jié)為證據(jù)。
