二、詞義辨析:


bother,disturb,trouble,annoy,irritate,vex

這些動詞均有“使人不安或煩惱”之意。 bother 指使人煩惱而引起的緊張不安或感到不耐煩。 disturb 較正式用詞,多用被動態(tài)。指攏亂,使人不能平靜或妨礙別人工作、思維或正常秩序,是程度較深的煩惱。 trouble 指給人在行動上帶來不便或在身心上造成痛苦。 annoy 強調因被迫忍受令人不快、討厭的事而失去平靜或耐心,多指一時的打攏或惱怒。 irritate 語氣比annoy強得多,指激怒,使發(fā)怒,多指一種短時間的反應。 vex側重指因不斷的干擾而引起的煩惱,有時含激怒的意味。
