  • 这组词的共同意思是“集中”。其区别在于:centre强调事或物所集中的那个中心点; focus强调同类事物汇集在一点上,融成一体; centralize则用于那些能集中又能分散的事或物,尤指集中权力或类似的东西; concentrate强调人类为达到目的而采用的技巧和方法、纪律及为此所做出的努力。例如:
  • The conversation was centred on the election.会谈的中心问题是选举。

  • compact表示“压紧,束紧”,通常指将许多东西压在一起,形成一个结实的整体; consolidate通常指联合或融合在一起,从而得以“巩固”“加强”; unify表示“统一”,强调由部分构成的统一体,但是各部门仍行使自己的职责,既为自己也为整体的利益服务; concentrate表示“浓缩”“聚拢”,指将许多散开的东西聚集在一个中心的周围。
  • concentrate, condense
  • 这组词的共同意思是“浓缩”。其区别是:

  • 2.把文章、段落、报告等进行“浓缩”得使用condense; 但要说“集中注意力”则只能使用concentrate。当说到“光线集中”时,两个词可以换用。
