[rɪ'grets]
  • 释义
  • n.

    (用于礼貌地表示拒绝)辞谢邀请的短柬或口信;痛惜( regret的名词复数 );惆怅;

  • v.

    懊悔,惋惜,遗憾( regret的第三人称单数 );抱歉;痛惜,怀念;感到懊悔,感到遗憾;

  • 词义辨析
  • I regret, I am afraid
  • 这两者在有些句子里(例如都用作表示道歉的客气话时)意思上和语气上没有明显的差别,可以互换。例如:
    I am afraid〔I regret〕 that I shall not be able to attend the party.我恐怕不能参加这次聚会〔很遗憾,我不能参加这次聚会〕。
    但一般情况下,这两者在含义上还是多少有些差别的。I am afraid...表示说话人多少有些不情愿的情绪,而I regret则重在表示说话人感到遗憾的心理。例如:
    I am afraid she didn't tell the truth.
    我恐怕她没有说实话。
    I regret that she didn't tell the truth.
    很遗憾她没有说实话。
    前者的含义是“我并不愿意把这一点说穿”,后者的含义是“她应该说实话,遗憾的是她并没有这样做”。
  • 下面三句意思相同:
  • He regrets to have done such a thing.
    He regrets having done such a thing.
    He regrets doing such a thing.
    他后悔做了这样的事。
  • 下面两个句子意思不同:
  • I regret that this has happened.
    我为发生这事感到懊悔。
    I regret that this should have happened.
    令我遗憾的是竟发生这事。
  • regret, remorse
  • 这两个词共同的意思是“懊悔”。它们的区别是:
    regret多指对已做或没有成功的事表示懊悔或不愉快,有时则指对自己无能为力的事感到懊悔; remorse多指烦恼或问心有愧的精神折磨,常含有自责、悔恨之义。例如:
    The boy was filled with remorse for the worry he had caused his mother.这个男孩因为使他妈妈难过而自责。
  • regret,repent
  • 这两个动词均有“后悔”之意。
    regret指对已发生或未发生的事或行为表示后悔或婉惜。
    repent正式用词,语气较强,指对自己所做的错事或不该做的事感到深切的悔恨。
