同近义词辨析

pride, boast, brag, crow

这组词都有“自夸，吹嘘”的意思，其区别是：

pride与boast的意义较接近，指炫耀、夸口，自鸣得意，常与反身代词连用。

boast普通用词，指对自己所做的事，自己的长处、财富以及家庭等的夸耀，常含言过其实的意味。

brag非正式用词，其夸耀和吹嘘意味强于boast，到了过分夸大，有时令人讨厌的地步。

crow多指大声吵嚷地吹嘘，夸耀自己做某事比他人做得好。

brag词源

brag

brag: [13] Brag first turned up in English as an adjective, meaning ‘spirited’ or ‘boastful’; the verb and noun did not appear until the 14th century. Where English got the word from, however, remains a mystery. French has braguer ‘brag’, but it is not clear whether English borrowed from French, or vice versa; French did, however, contribute the derivative bragard, which English adopted as braggart [16]. This probably also formed the basis of braggadocio, an Italianate coinage first used by the poet Edmund Spenser as a personification of ‘boastfulness’ in his Faerie Queene 1590.

brag (n.)

late 14c., \"pomp; arrogance, pride;\" see brag (v.); the exact relationship of the forms is uncertain. Meaning \"that which is boasted\" is from 1530s. As a once-popular poker-like card game, from 1734.

brag (v.)

mid-14c., braggen \"to make a loud sound,\" also \"to talk boastfully,\" of obscure origin, perhaps related to bray of a trumpet, or related to the Middle English adjective brag \"ostentatious, proud; spirited, brave\" (early 14c.), which probably is from Celtic. Other sources suggest Old Norse bragr \"the best, the toast (of anything),\" also \"poetry.\" Also see braggart for another possibility. Related: Bragged; bragging.
