v. (动词)
grasp, catch, grip, hold
  • 这组词的共同意思是“掌握”。其区别是:
  • hold含义最广,指抓牢或掌握具体或抽象的事物; grip指全力紧抓事物; grasp常指对抽象理论、原理的领悟或理解; catch指拼命抓牢不放,唯恐其滑掉或丢失,比其他三个词更强调控制。例如:
  • Hold the reins tight.把缰绳抓紧。
  • I threw the ball, and the dog caught it in his mouth.我把球抛出,狗用嘴接住了球。
  • I think I grasped the main points of the speech.我想我已经领会了演说的要点。
  • She gripped my hand in fear.她因害怕而紧握住我的手。
  • grasp, clutch, grab, seize, snatch, take
  • 这组词都可表示“伸出手或臂去抓住某物”。其区别在于:take仅指抓住具体的东西; clutch强调匆匆忙忙、紧急、迫不及待,因而抓住的可能性较小,引申可用于思想上或情感上的把握; grab常含有庸俗和不关心他人或无视公共准则的意思; grasp的基本意思是指用手、牙齿、爪等紧紧抓住某人或某物,引申指能充分理解难以理解的东西; seize通常指突然地、有力地抓住,引申用于无形的东西时,往往强调该物在快速掠过或难以捉摸,或强调有力地、出人意料地夺取,或强调理解了难以理解或难以分析的事物; snatch强调不为人知、救人及时或动作粗暴,引申指偶然地或无准备地抓住能抓住的东西。例如:
  • She clutched at my arm as she fell.她跌倒时想要抓住我的胳臂。
  • He grabbed the coin and ran off.他抓起硬币就跑了。
  • I grasped the man by the arm.我抓住了那人的手臂。
  • He seized the gun from the robber.他从强盗手里夺过了枪。
  • The letter was snatched out of my hand before I could read it.那封信我还没来得及看就被别人从我手里拿走了。
  • take,grasp,grab,grip,clasp,clutch,snatch,seize
  • 这些动词均有“抓住,握紧”之意。
  • take最普通用词,不带感情色彩。指用手抓、取某东西或控制某物。
  • grasp指紧紧抓住、抓牢。
  • grab指粗暴而急迫的抓住。
  • grip语气比grasp强,指用手的最大力量紧紧抓住。
  • clasp指用手紧握或用臂紧抱。
  • clutch强调匆忙、紧急地抓、抓紧。
  • snatch指突然抢走,侧重动作更快或更具暴力性质。
  • seize指突然抓住某物,强调突然的猛烈动作。
  • understand,comprehend,appreciate,apprehend,grasp
  • 这些动词均有“理解”之意。
  • understand一般用词,很常用,指对事实或意义知道得很清楚。
  • comprehend较正式用词,指对较复杂的事物能透彻理解其意义。
  • appreciate欣赏,指对某事物或意义有正确的认识,对其价值的肯定。
  • apprehend指知道某事物或某观念的大概意义,但未能理解其内涵意义,暗含一知半解意味。
  • grasp从本义抓紧、抓住,引申作“理解、掌握”。
  • 用作动词 (v.)
    grasp at( v.+prep. )
      试图抓住try to seize
