brag, boast, glory
  • 这组词意思相近。它们之间的区别是:
  • 1.boast既可作“吹嘘”解,也可作“以…为自豪”解; 而brag只作“吹嘘”解,无“以…自豪”之义; glory只可作“自豪”“得意”解,不含“吹嘘,吹牛”之义。
  • 2.boast和brag都可用作及物或不及物动词; 而glory只用作不及物动词,且多和in连用。
  • 3.boast指并非全无根据地“吹嘘”; 而brag则指毫无事实依据地乱“吹”。
  • boast,brag,crow,pride
  • 这些动词均含有“自夸,吹嘘”之意。
  • 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。
  • 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。
