词语用法

词义讲解

v.(动词)

threaten的基本意思是“威胁”,指用某物或某些含有威胁意味的话来恐吓某人使其按照自己的意愿办事,含有如果不服从,将会产生严重的后果的意味。threaten还有“可能会降临”的意思,指在某事未发生之前通过某些预兆来推断其将会发生。

threaten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、代词、动词不定式或that从句作宾语,有时还可引出直接引语。

threaten还可接以that从句充当直接宾语的双宾语。

threaten后接介词with表示“用…来威胁”。

v.(动词)

threaten, menace

这组词的共同意思是“威胁,恐吓”。其区别是：

threaten指如不服从将会有严重后果,以此相威胁,迫使别人干某事或不许别人干某事; menace多指用目光、行动或武器等对别人进行恐吓。
