  • 大风,暴风;(突发的)一阵;<诗>微风;[植]香杨梅;

  • 词义辨析
  • gale, blast, breeze, wind
  • 这组词都有“风”的意思。它们的区别在于:
    1.wind是一个笼统的词,是泛指由于空气的自然流动而产生的风,风速可快可慢,风力可大可小,可以指强劲的,也可以指柔和的; blast是一股强劲的气流,不一定是自然产生的,风速较大,强劲而突然,指“狂风”或“暴风”; breeze指“轻风”“微风”“温和的微风”; gale指7级到11级的烈风、强风。例如:
    The dentist gave my tooth a blast to dry the filling.牙医朝我的牙吹风使补牙材料干结。
    A gust of wind billowed the sleeves and skirts of women's dresses.一股劲风把妇女们的衣袖和裙子吹得像波浪一样翻动。
    The banner fluttered in the breeze.旗帜在微风中飘扬。
    We got our roof blown off in the gale last night.昨夜的大风把我们的房顶给掀掉了。
    2.用spring breeze指“春风”比用wind更为确切。例如:
    The soft spring breeze caressed my face and I felt refreshed.柔和的春风吹拂着我的脸,使我觉得神清气爽。
