  • consent, agree, approve, assent, be for
  • 这组词共同的意思是“同意”。它们的区别是:
    1.agree指多方面达成一致意见,暗含先有分歧,经协商或讨论后取得共识; approve, assent, consent都指单方面的同意、允诺(意见,建议等); be for则指在一些相互对立的立场、观点、意见中表示拥护其中之一,例如:
    Father does not approve of him marrying so young.
    父亲不同意他那么年轻就结婚。
    I won't assent to such a theory.
    我不能同意这样的理论。
    The school authorities consented to post- pone the examination.
    校方同意推迟考试日期。
    I am not for having it at once.
    我不赞成立即办此事。
    2.consent多用于上对下, approve可以用于平级,也可用于上对下。assent和 agree 则多用于平级,例如:

    I quite approve of the idea of your plan.
    我很赞成你计划中的构想。
    The session approved the report.

    The majority assented to my views on the matter.
    大多数人都同意我对这个问题的看法。
    I agree with every word you have said.

    3.be for主要用于口语; agree和approve可用于日常用语,也可用于正式场合; assent和consent主要用于正式场合。在这组词中agree最常用。
    4.approve在正式场合可用作及物动词,在日常用语里可用作不及物动词, consent和assent只用作不及物动词。consent后接to, approve后接of, assent后接to。
    5.assent只用于肯定句; agree, approve和consent可用于肯定句,也可用于否定句。例如:
    He assented to the doctor's assertion that his son was ill, but would not consent to having him hospitalized.医生说他儿子有病,他同意这一诊断,但不同意让他住院。
  • consent, promise
  • 这两个词都有“答应”的意思。它们的区别是:
    promise是“自己主动答应”这一概念,含有自觉主动的意味; 而consent则是“答应人家的要求”,含有被动的意味。试比较:
    Our director has promised to make a speech.
    我们的主任已答应作个报告。
    (是他主动答应的)
    We asked our director to make a speech and he consented.
    我们要求主任作个报告,他答应了。
    (是我们要求的)

    agree普通用词,侧重指对某事同其他人有相同的意见或想法。
    consent指同意别人的请求、建议或满足他人的愿望,着重意愿或感情,常和to连用。
    approve侧重对认为正确或满意的事表示赞同或批准。作不及物动词用时,常与of连用。
