astonish和amaze的区别

1个回答

  • 这两个词,在很多情况下可以互换,但是也略有区分,这可以通过它们的英语解释看出来:

    astonish:v.affect with wonder 使惊讶

    A matter of repeated occurrence like this will not astonish people.

    重复出现的事物不会使人吃惊.

    amaze:v.

    1.affect with wonder

    Your ability to speak six languages amazes me!

    2.be a mystery(神秘,秘密;奥秘) or bewildering ( 使人困惑的;令人产生混乱的)to

    可见,除了【使吃惊】的意思之外,amaze还有【让人感到神秘或迷惑不解/混乱】之意,这是前者所没有的意思.
