  • 词义辨析
  • swallow, consume, devour, eat, ingest
  • 这几个词共同的意思是“吃”。它们的区别在于:eat最常用,指放入口中经过咀嚼再吞咽下去的过程,对人或物都适用,引申指缓慢地逐渐腐蚀或消磨过程; consume指吃完全部食物或喝光所有饮料,引申指消耗光所有的物质、金钱等; devour强调狼吞虎咽地吃,引申指吞灭或毁灭; ingest是生理学用语,指咽下或吸收的过程; swallow指不经过充分咀嚼就囫囵吞入肚中,强调匆忙。例如:
    The termites have eaten deep into the wood.白蚁已经把木头蛀得很深了。
    The fire soon consumed the wooden building.大火不久就烧毁了这座木头建筑物。
    He was devoured by hate.他满腔怨恨。
    Twelve workers have ingested radioactive substances well above the permitted maximum.12名工人摄入体内的放射性物质已大大超过最大限度。
