词语用法

词义讲解

词源解说

v.(动词)

swell的基本意思是“增大,膨胀”,指由于受外力的作用使物体在原有的基础上变大或处于增大的状态,或指由于疼痛、哭泣等原因而使身体的某一部位肿大或处于肿大的状态。也可用于硬度或力量的增强,含有“快要涨破了”的意味。引申还可指“河水上涨”或“人群扩大”。

swell可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时,后接名词或代词作宾语。可用于被动结构。

swell的过去式是swelled,过去分词是swollen或swelled。

v.(动词)

swell, dilate, distend, expand, inflate

这组词都有“增大,扩大”的意思。其区别是：

expand指体积、数量的增大,可指展开、打开、散播开,而使其扩大的因素既可以是内在的,也可以是来自外界的外力; swell是指由于受到内部力量的作用而在体积和容积方面增大,也可指数目或程度的增长,质量的提高,或曲面向上隆起,常表示“不正常的增大”; distend指在内部力量的压迫下向各个方向扩张或膨胀,暗示原来就处于完全空虚或松弛状态; inflate指用人工方法使某物膨胀起来; dilate强调直径的增大。

☆ 直接源自古英语的swellan，意为膨胀。
