  • 词义辨析
  • rock, stone
  • 这两个词都可表示“石头”。它们的区别是:
    stone指体积较小的天然石块; rock指体积巨大的天然石块。例如:
    The wall is made of stone.这堵墙是石头块砌成的。
    He built his house on rock.他在岩石上建起了房子。
  • rock, quake, quiver, shake, shiver, tremble
  • 这组词都可表示由于震动或受刺激而引起的振动或颤抖。它们的区别是:
    在表示因寒冷或恐惧而发抖时, shake, tremble, quiver和shiver常可互换。rock和shake强调外界因素所致, quake则强调自身因素引起。在摇动的幅度上, rock>quake>quiver>shiver。在摇动的频率上, shiver>tremble>quiver>rock。在程度上, quake最弱,几乎难以觉察。tremble强调无法克服性,而shiver则强调短暂性。用于指声音时, tremble只表示声音断断续续; quiver则指音调高低或声音强弱方面的颤抖。例如:
    His hands were trembling〔shaking〕 from cold.他冷得两手直哆嗦。
    He was quaking〔shivering〕 in his boots at the thought.他一想到这些就怕得发抖。
    The ground quaked under his feet.大地在他脚下震动。
    His insides quaked at the thought.想到这一点,他心里就发慌。
    The pine needles were still quivering.松针还在抖动着。

    She tried to steady her fingers, but they quivered uncontrollably.她想稳定住自己的手指,但它们不由自主地抖动不已。
    The tower rocked under the impact of the hurricane.在飓风袭击下这座高塔摇晃得厉害。
    The earthquake rocked the house.地震使房屋摇动。
    He was trembling with rage.他气得发抖。
