二、词义辨析:


blame,accuse,condemn,scold,denounce,reproach,rebuke

这些动词均含有“责备,非难”之意。 blame普通用词,语气较弱,仅是一般的责难、归咎于,不含用语言责骂之意。 accuse语气比blame强,本义为归罪,可用作指非难或谴责之义。 condemn正式用词,表示谴责,有较强的司法意味,侧重从道义或原则上的谴责。 scold普通用词,多指上级对下级、长辈对后辈或雇主对雇员的态度粗暴、言词激烈的数落。 denounce与condemn同义,但着重公开性。 reproach侧重指因他人粗心、自私等引起不满而去指责、找岔。 rebuke多指上级对下级进行的公开、强烈、严正而不宽容的责备。隐含一定权威的意味。
