- 词义辨析
beast, animal
这两个词都可以表示“动物”。它们的区别是:1.animal指区别于植物的“动物总称”; beast指与飞禽(鸟类)相对的走兽,即四足动物(尤指哺乳动物)。可见animal所指的范围比beast大,是动物的总称,而beast则包括在animal之中。例如:Not all animals have four feet.并不是所有的动物都有四只脚。We went to the zoo to see the gorillas, elephants, and various other beasts.我们去动物园看猩猩、大象和各种其他四足动物。2.在比喻意义上,即指人的时候, animal可不含有感情色彩(即客观地强调其身体),也可含有感情色彩(由语气和上下文语气可以分出),而beast总是带有一定的感情色彩。例如:Those boys are healthy young animals.那些男孩子是身体强壮的年轻小伙子。What an animal he is!他是一个非常残暴的人!Living only for self-indulgence, he is a beast.他过着尽情放纵的生活,无异于一头动物。从上述例子可以看出,就感情成分来说, animal强调的是残暴,而beast强调的是肉欲的放纵,有贬义。
