announce,declare的用法和区别 英语
网友回答
【答案】 很多情况下,declare和announce是可以通用的,对其含义的重叠部分的辨析意义不大.
词源辨析:
announce=a(ad-前缀缩写,意为to)-nounce(拉丁语nuntius,意思为messenger)
announce表述to relate,to report,to bring news,即宣布、通知新的消息和新闻,偏向对客观事实广而告之.
例如:The loudspeaker announced the arrival of the train.大喇叭宣布了那列火车的到达.而火车到达是个客观事实.
Peter announced that he had no intention of wasting his time at any university.彼得声明他无意在任何一所大学里浪费他的时间.彼得向大家表明了他的不想在大学浪费时间的新想法,而不是对大学是否浪费时间这一争论的观点.
declare=de(强调)-clare(拉丁语clarus,与clarify、clear同源,意为澄清、声明、辨析清楚)
declare表述make clear,reveal,disclose并带有announce的含义,相比announce更强调对现有消息的观点.
例如:He openly declared himself as an atheist.他公开宣布自己是无神论者.是对他是否是无神论者这一问题的澄清.
