用法讲解
v. (动词)
- hesitate的基本意思是“犹豫”“踌躇 ”,指在决定说做或选择某事前的暂停或其他犹豫不决的表现,也可译为“停了一会”“停顿”或“说话吞吞吐吐”,引申可表示“不情愿”。
- hesitate是不及物动词,其后接about, at或in,表示对某事犹豫不决；后接between,再接由and连接的并列结构,表示在两者间犹豫不决。
- hesitate作“不情愿”解时,可接动词不定式。
-
hesitate to do与hesitate about doing这两种表达方式结构不同，但是意思一样。
She seems to hesitate to answer.
She seems to hesitate about answering.
v. (动词)
- hesitate, falter, vacillate, waver
-
- 这组词都可表示“不确定”“缺少信心”。其区别是：
- hesitate最常用,指难于下决心去做某事或作出某种选择; falter指行动上明显迟疑或畏缩,暗示有恐惧、紧张、口吃等征兆; vacillate侧重在互相冲突或矛盾的行动方案之间摇摆不定; waver可指因优柔寡断而迟迟不采取行动,或指虽然作出决定,但行动上却表现出动摇或畏缩不前。
