词语用法

词义讲解

v.(动词)

depress的基本意思是“压下”“推下”“拉下”,指以压力或超重使某物下降。引申可指人因身体或精神原因而“颓唐”“使愁苦”“使沮丧”,侧重于体力减少或某器官功能减弱; 指其他事物如市场价格、社会或文化状况等时,侧重活动力减少,即“使不活泼”“使跌价”“使萧条”等。

depress是及物动词,通常接由名词或代词充当的简单宾语。

depress的过去分词depressed可用作形容词,在句中作表语; 现在分词depressing则常用作定语。

v.(动词)

depress, oppress, weigh

这组词都可表示“对某物或某人施加压力或重负,令其在重压下倒塌或沮丧”。其区别是：

1.weigh在结果或降低的程度上比depress弱,但更侧重困难或负重,常和down, on或upon连用。

2.depress指以压力或超重使某物下降,也指因身体原因或精神原因而颓唐,侧重于体力减少或某器官功能减弱,指其他事物时,侧重活动力减少。例如:

The little girl depressed the button.这个小女孩按下按钮。

Bad weather depresses me.坏天气使我感到郁闷。

His defeat in the last cross-country race depressed him.他在上一次越野赛中的失败使他感到沮丧。

3.oppress即像weigh一样强调重负,也像 depress一样强调结果。
