二、詞義辨析:
advise,caution,warn,admonish,counsel
這些動(dòng)詞均有“勸告、忠告、警告”之意。 advise普通用詞,泛指勸告,不涉及對(duì)方是否聽從勸告。 caution主要指針對(duì)有潛在危險(xiǎn)而提出的警告,含小心從事的意味。 warn含義與caution相同,但語氣較重,尤指重后果。 admonish一般指年長者或領(lǐng)導(dǎo)對(duì)已犯錯(cuò)誤的或有過失的人提出的忠告或警告以避免類似錯(cuò)誤。 counsel正式用詞,語氣比advise強(qiáng)一些,側(cè)重指對(duì)重要問題提出的勸告、建議或咨詢。
