  • 词义辨析
  • at pains, at the pains
  • 这两个短语都可作“努力”“下苦功”解。它们的区别在于:at pains搭用动词不定式短语,而at the pains则要搭用介词of引起的动名词短语。
  • for pain, with pain
  • 这两个短语都可作“由于疼痛”解。它们的区别在于:for pain常用在否定句里,而with pain常用在肯定句里。例如:
    I couldn't sleep for pain.我由于疼痛而不能入眠。
    The boy was crying with pain.那男孩疼得在哭泣。
  • pain, ache, sting, stitch
  • 这组词共同的意思是“疼痛”。它们的区别是：
    1.pain使用最广泛,可替换本组其他各词。pain所表示的疼痛,可以是全身的,也可以是局部的; 可以是剧烈的,也可以是轻微的; 可以是长时间的,也可以是短暂的; 可以是身体上的,也可以是精神上的。而ache多指局部的、轻微的、持续的身体疼痛,尤指隐痛、闷痛,少指精神上的痛苦。例如“她痛得直叫。”显然是剧烈的、暂时的,故应译为She cried with pain.再如:As the infection developed, the dull ache in his joints became a sharp stabbing pain.由于感染的发展,他关节的隐痛变成了剧烈的刺痛。
    2.sting指“刺痛”,主要指植物的刺或动物叮蜇所引起的刺痛,也可指精神上所受到的刺激。例如:
    The sting of coral can be very painful.珊瑚刺伤可引起剧痛。
    I still feel the sting of her bitter remarks.她的刻薄话现在仍使我感到痛心。
    3.stitch特指胁部疼痛且往往伴以痉挛。例如:
    All that dancing gave me a stitch in my side.一直跳舞,我的胁部好疼呀!
    4.ache可以和表示身体一部分的名词构成复合词,而其他几个词则不能。
  • pain, pang, smart
  • 这三个词都可指肉体上的疼痛,也可指精神上的疼痛。它们的区别在于:pain所表示的疼痛可以是剧烈的,也可以是轻微的; 而pang和smart表示的都是强烈的、剧烈的疼痛。例如:
    He was anxious about an off-and-on pain in the abdomen.他因腹部时隐时现的疼痛而忧虑。
    She felt a sudden pang of regret.她突然感到痛悔不已。
    He felt his eyes smart with fatigue.他因困倦而感到两眼剧痛。
  • pain(s), bid, effort(s), endeavour(s), exertion(s)
  • 这组词都可作“努力”解。它们的区别是：
    effort(s)着重指动作的本身; endeavour(s)着重作出努力的认真和决心; exertion(s)着重于动作的积极性或剧烈性; bid着重于为达到某种企图而作出的努力; pain(s)侧重为完成某事花费气力。例如:
    I will make a great effort to master English我会努力掌握英语。
    The cabinet is making all possible endeavours to bring about national economic stabilization.政府内阁将尽最大努力使国家经济趋于稳定。
    I was quite hot and tired after all my exertions.用力干后,我又热又累。
    Our Department is making a bid for the interdepartmental basketball championship.我们系正力求夺取系际的篮球赛冠军。
    For thirty years,Teacher Liu has been taking great pains in educating us.30年来,刘教员一直劳心努力地教育我们。
  • 下面两个句子的意思是一样的:
  • It's a pain to get up so early in the morn- ing.
    It's a pain getting up so early in the morn- ing.
    这么早起床,真叫人讨厌。
  • ache，pain，sore
  • 这些名词都含有“疼、疼痛”之意。
    ache指人体某一器官较持久的疼痛，常常是隐痛。
    pain可与ache换用，但pain既可指一般疼痛，也可指剧痛，疼痛范围可以是局部或全身，时间可长可短。也可引申指精神上的痛苦。
    sore指身体某部位的痛处，有是也指精神上的痛苦。
