同近义词辨析
speak着重开口发声,不着重所说的内容,一般作不及物动词,用作及物动词,宾语只能是某种语言等少数几个名词,不能接that从句。
say着重所说的话,可用作及物动词,带宾语从句。
tell 表示告诉,有时兼含“嘱咐”,“命令”等。Tell the truth说真话,tell a lie说谎,tell a story讲故事等为固定搭配。Tell是及物动词,但其后不跟that从句。
talk表示通过谈话方式交换意见、思想、消息等,一般只作不及物动词。
这组词都有“说、讲”的意思,其区别是:
state较正式用词,通常指用明确的语言或文字着重地叙述事实,既强调内容又注重语气。
speak侧重于说话动作的本身,着重说话的能力而不在内容,可以是长篇大论的演讲,也可以是三言两语的交谈,甚至指简单的开口发声说话。
say最普通常用词,指用语言表达思想,着重所说的内容。
tell普通用词,指把某事告诉或讲述给某人听,口语或书面语均可用。
utter着重说话的行为,常指声音的使用,突出用噪子发声。
talk普通用词,侧重指与人交谈时的连续说话,可指单方面较长谈话,和speak一样,着重说活动作而不侧重内容。
