v. (动词)
convert, alter, become, change, modify, turn, vary
  • 这组词的共同意思是“改变”“变化”。change和alter有时可以互换。例如:
  • Whatever we do, we can't change〔alter〕 the facts.不管我们做什么,我们总不能改变事实。
  • He has changed〔altered〕 a lot since I last saw him.自从上次见面到现在,他变了很多。
  • The weather changes〔alters〕 almost daily.天气差不多天天在变。
  • 其区别是:
  • 1.change在这几个词中是最普遍、最不正式的一个,可用于任何变化的过程,而不论变化的性质和程度; alter指局部的、表面的、轻微的“改变”“改动”,修改后仍基本上保持原状; alter和convert都指形式和用途上的局部微小改变; turn指彻底改变,以至面目全非,且常用于朝坏的方向改变; modify指限定在一定范围内的修改或修饰,以使之更完美; vary则指事物或其一部分暂时地或反复地变化,从而使事物各部分呈现不同外貌和特点。例如:
  • When matter changes to a substance different from what it was, the change is a chemical change.当物质变成和原来不同的物质时,这种变化是化学变化。
  • The plan is O.K. at large, but I suggest it be altered.该计划总的来说是可以的,但我建议做进一步修改。
  • Pressure varies directly with temperature and inversely with volume.压力随温度成正比例变化,与容积成反比例变化。
  • All the bank bill was converted into cash.所有的银行票据都兑换成了现金。
  • Those who were once for him have turned against him.那些原来支持他的人现在转而反对他。
  • The newspaper turned against the president.该报转而攻击总统。
  • After he left the university, he became a teacher, but he later turned to translation.他大学毕业后当了教师,但后来转向翻译工作。
  • 2.convert可指改变信仰,尤其是宗教信仰; modify指态度变温和。例如:
  • He has converted from Buddhism to Catholicism.他已放弃佛教改信天主教了。
  • You'd better modify your tone.你最好缓和一下你的口气。
  • He will have to modify his views if he wants to be elected.他如果想当选,就得把观点变得明朗些。
  • convert, metamorphose, transfigure, transform, transmogrify, transmute
  • 这组词都可表示“使变为另一物或具有另一种形式”。其区别在于:transform可指外部形式或外表的变化,也可指性格、功能的根本变化; convert指在种类、性格、结构上的轻微变化,强调变化的重点在细节或品质上,变化的目的在于适应新的功能或用途; metamorphose强调变化的超自然性或神奇性,也可指某些动物的结构或习惯方面的根本变化,还可指由化学或物理成分引起的变化; transfigure强调对外表变化地美化或拔高; transmogrify指令人惊奇地、奇异地、甚至十分荒谬地、彻底地变化; transmute强调根本地变化,常指由低级向高级变化。
  • change,alter,vary,convert,modify,transform,turn
  • 这些动词均含有“变化,改变”之意。
  • change指任何变化,完全改变,强调与原先的情况有明显的不同。
  • alter常指轻微的改变,强调基本上保持原物、原状的情况下所进行的部分改变。
  • vary暗示不规则或断断续续地变。
  • convert指进行全部或局部改变以适应新的功能或用途。指信仰或态度时,强调较激烈、大的改变。
  • modify强调起限定作用的变化或变更。指细小的变化,常含“缓和、降调”的意味。
  • transform指人或物在形状、外观、形式、性质等方面发生的彻底变化,失去原状成为全新的东西。
  • turn指外形、颜色、气味、性质等方面的变化,比change更通俗。
  • 词源解说

    • ☆ 直接源自古法语的convertir,意为转变,改变。
