用法讲解

v. (动词)
consume, devour, eat, ingest, swallow
  • 这几个词的共同意思是“吃”。其区别在于: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。
  • This drug can't be swallowed; it has to be injected.这药不能吞服,只能注射。
  • consume, dissipate, fritter, squander, waste
  • 这组词都有“浪费”的意思。其区别是:
  • waste指任意地挥霍,通常是花费而不见成果; squander的意思比waste强,强调胡乱花费,含有花光而导致贫困的意思; dissipate指因奢侈而丧失东西,犹如随风撒东西一样,强调将存有的东西用光或几乎用光; fritter常和away连用,指一点一点地花费,或花费在不重要的东西上,含有逐渐用光的意思; consume强调吞食或毁坏,但也可指完全浪费或挥霍掉,用于金钱或财产时,指频繁地减少,偶尔用于时间或精力时,指无益地花费。例如:
  • The council has been squandering the ratepayers' money.市议会一直在挥霍房地产纳税人的金钱。
  • He dissipated his large fortune in a few years of heavy spending.他在几年的大肆挥霍中把自己一大笔财产都花光了。
  • She fritters away all her money on clothes and trips to the cinema.她把所有金钱都浪费在穿衣服和看电影上了。
  • The fire soon consumed the wooden buildings.大火很快就把那些木制建筑物吞没了。
