用法讲解

n. (名词)
creek, branch, brook, canal, river, stream, torrent
  • 这组词的共同意思是“流水的通道”。其区别是:
  • 1.除canal指人工开挖的河流或渠道外,其余各词均指自然形成的水道。
  • 2.river和torrent均指流量较大的河流,river可泛指(自然形成的)江河;torrent则特指急流、湍流。这两个词还常用于比喻。
  • 3.stream可指大河,也可指小河或小溪,指小溪时与brook,creek同义。creek侧重其狭长蜿蜒,缓缓流动,且多流入大河或湖泊。brook侧重发源于山泉。creek和stream都比brook大。stream还可引申表示事物连绵不断。
  • 4.branch指江河的支流。
  • 用作名词 (n.)
