  • 词义辨析
  • by force, by force of
  • 两者含义不同:by force意为“靠武力,强行”,而by force of的意思是“借…之力,依据,由于,通过”。例如:
    They occupied by force the whole territory of the country.他们用武力侵占了该国的全部国土。
    By sheer force of will, he fought the urge to interrupt the speaker.他完全凭意志力来控制自己想打断演讲人讲话的冲动。
  • forces, army, military, troops
  • 这组词共同的意思是“军队”“部队”。它们的区别是：
    army泛指“武装部队”时,语气比较正式、庄重,它常指“陆军”; military尤指“陆军”,包括全体战斗人员及工作人员,代表军方区别于政府及其他各部门; forces是集合名词,包括国家的各兵种的所有人员及武器装备; troops较通俗,指部队的全体成员,尤指“陆军部队”,有时专指包括各个较低级军衔在内的队伍,以区别于上级指挥官。例如：
    They are determined to build up a modern army and navy.他们决心创建一支现代化的陆军和海军。
    The military took control of the government in that country.在那个国家,军方控制了政府。
    The commander concentrated a powerful force on the left flank.司令员把强大兵力集中在左翼。
    The navy is one of the armed forces.海军是武装部队之一。
    They massed well-equipped troops on the frontier.他们在边境上集结了装备精良的军队。
    The troops were drawn up ready for inspection.部队整好队准备接受检阅。
  • force, energy, might, power, strength, vigour
  • 这组词共同的意思是“能”“能量”“精力”。它们的区别在于:
    1.energy在物理学定义中为“能”“能量”,用于生理学上指“精力”。
    2.power系一般用语,可指动力、思维能力等各种力量或能力。例如:
    A car needs a lot of power to go fast.汽车高速行驶需要很大动力。
    Every normal, healthy person has power to think.每一个正常、健康的人都有思维能力。
    3.strength指某人或某物所具有的内在力量,可指体力、力气或抽象的力量。例如:
    He hasn't got enough strength to get out of bed.他没有足够的力气下床。
    At last his strength gave out.他的体力终于不支了。
    He has strength of character.他性格坚强。
    Union is strength.团结就是力量。
    4.force指的是物质或精神力量,多指为做成某事而使用的力量,也常指武力。例如:

    His arguments forced them to admit he was right.他的论据迫使他们承认他是对的。
    The thief forced her to hand over the money.贼强迫她把钱交出来。
    5.might指“力量”“威力”“强权”“权势”等,既可指人体的力量,也可指政治、军事等的强大而产生的威力,其程度要比其他几个词强。例如:
    The army fought bravely, but it was crushed by the might of its powerful enemy.军队勇敢地战斗,但最终还是被敌人强大的势力所摧垮。
    They would have little chance to survive against our might.在我们的强大力量面前,他们几乎无法继续生存下去。
    The work was so difficult that it was beyond my might.这项工作太难了,它超出了我的能力。
    The competition is strong and we must study with all our might.竞争是强有力的,我们须尽全力地学习。
    6.vigour指生命产生的力量,常译为“活力”。例如:
    He is full of vigour.他充满了活力。
  • force, have to
  • 两者都可表示“不得不”。它们的区别在于:force指主观强迫,包括使用武力迫使某人做某事; 而have to强调由于客观的原因而必须做某事。例如:
    I have lost my key, so I'll have to force an entry.我丢了钥匙,所以只好破门而入了。
  • force, make
  • 这两个词共同的意思是“迫使”。它们的区别在于:force所含“暴力威胁”的意味较强; make所含“暴力威胁”的意味较弱。另外, force若跟复合宾语,须接带to的动词不定式; make若跟复合宾语,须接不带to的动词不定式。例如:
    She can't force me to do it.
    她不能迫使我做这件事。
    She can't make me do it.
    她不能使我做这件事。
  • force, compel, constrain, oblige
  • 这组词共同的意思是“强迫”,都常用于被动结构。它们的区别在于:
    1.compel指使用权力或各种手段迫使对方去做某事或处于某种状态; force主要指用武力或强制的办法去完成某事; constrain指由于受外界压力或环境的影响,迫使某人做某事,也可指受良心、情感或饥饿等方面的内在力量驱使去做某事; oblige则往往是由于客观原因促使某人做某事。例如:
    When he was a young man, he was forced to leave his homeland for political reasons.早在青年时代,因为政治原因他被迫离开自己的祖国。
    You cannot compel good work from unwilling students.你不能迫使不肯学习的学生学习好。
    Cold weather constrained the plant's growth.寒冷的天气抑制了植物的生长。
    I should be obliged if you wouldn't say so.你如果不这样说,我就感谢你了。
    2.compel和force的主语既可以是人,也可以是物; oblige则一般以人作主语。例如:
    When confronted by such clear evidence, the Senator was forced to eat his words in public.面对如此明白的证据,参议员只得当众收回前言。
    Energy crisis compels fuel conservation.能源危机使人们必须节约燃料。
    The police obliged him to leave.警方要他离开。
    3.在语气上, compel和oblige较弱; 而force暴力威胁的含义较强。例如:
    He was compelled to do it against his will.他不得不违心地做这件事。
    The school regulations oblige us to be present at school on time.校规要求我们必须按时到校。
    The enemy was forced to get back under our massive blows.在我方的沉重打击下,敌军被迫后退。

  • The monopoly capitalists forced the work- ing people to sell their blood.

    只是后者更强烈地表达了“强逼”这一概念。

    force指用个人意志、权力、权威或暴力等，迫使他人改变看法或做本不愿做的事。

    force指运用或发挥出来的力量，可以克服阻力，使人或物按要求方向运动。
