[ɡrɑːsp]
  • 释义
  • v.

    抓紧;理解;急忙抓住;

  • n.

    紧抓;掌握;理解;力所能及;

  • 词义辨析
  • grasp, catch, grip, hold
  • 这组词共同的意思是“掌握”。它们的区别是：
    hold含义最广,指抓牢或掌握具体或抽象的事物; grip指全力紧抓事物; grasp常指对抽象理论、原理的领悟或理解; catch指拼命抓牢不放,唯恐其滑掉或丢失,比其他三个词更强调控制。例如:
    Hold the reins tight.把缰绳抓紧。
    I threw the ball, and the dog caught it in his mouth.我把球抛出,狗用嘴接住了球。
    I think I grasped the main points of the speech.我想我已经领会了演说的要点。
    She gripped my hand in fear.她因害怕而紧握住我的手。
  • grasp, clutch, grab, seize, snatch, take
  • 这组词都可表示“伸出手或臂去抓住某物”。它们的区别在于:take仅指抓住具体的东西; clutch强调匆匆忙忙、紧急、迫不及待,因而抓住的可能性较小,引申可用于思想上或情感上的把握; grab常含有庸俗和不关心他人或无视公共准则的意思; grasp的基本意思是指用手、牙齿、爪等紧紧抓住某人或某物,引申指能充分理解难以理解的东西; seize通常指突然地、有力地抓住,引申用于无形的东西时,往往强调该物在快速掠过或难以捉摸,或强调有力地、出人意料地夺取,或强调理解了难以理解或难以分析的事物; snatch强调不为人知、救人及时或动作粗暴,引申指偶然地或无准备地抓住能抓住的东西。例如:
    She clutched at my arm as she fell.她跌倒时想要抓住我的胳臂。
    He grabbed the coin and ran off.他抓起硬币就跑了。
    I grasped the man by the arm.我抓住了那人的手臂。
    He seized the gun from the robber.他从强盗手里夺过了枪。
    The letter was snatched out of my hand before I could read it.那封信我还没来得及看就被别人从我手里拿走了。

    grip语气比grasp强，指用手的最大力量紧紧抓住。
    clasp指用手紧握或用臂紧抱。
    clutch强调匆忙、紧急地抓、抓紧。
    snatch指突然抢走，侧重动作更快或更具暴力性质。
