  • cave, cavity, hole
  • 这组词都有“洞”“孔”“穴”的意思。它们的区别在于:hole指任何物体中的开口、穿孔或洞穴; cave指山洞、洞穴或地窖; cavity是科技术语或专门用语,只指坚硬物体上的洞穴,通常表面有开口可见。例如:
    The men have dug a hole in the road.那些人在路上挖了一个洞。
    The cliff dwellers found that natural caves gave them warmth and protection during the Ice Age.悬岩洞人发现在冰河时代天然的洞穴不仅温暖,还能借以自卫。

  • cave, cavern
  • 这两个词都可作“洞穴”解。它们的区别在于:cave表示天然的或人为的“洞穴,山洞,窑洞”; cavern则指地下的巨穴或大的钟乳石岩洞,尤指巨大而昏暗的深穴。
  • cave, cavern
  • 这两个词并非同义词。cave的意思是“挖洞,塌陷”,常用作不及物动词; 而cavern作“将…置入洞中,将…挖掘出来”解,用作及物动词。
