用法讲解

v. (动词)
  1. depress的基本意思是“压下”“推下”“拉下”,指以压力或超重使某物下降。引申可指人因身体或精神原因而“颓唐”“使愁苦”“使沮丧”,侧重于体力减少或某器官功能减弱; 指其他事物如市场价格、社会或文化状况等时,侧重活动力减少,即“使不活泼”“使跌价”“使萧条”等。
  2. depress是及物动词,通常接由名词或代词充当的简单宾语。
  3. depress的过去分词depressed可用作形容词,在句中作表语; 现在分词depressing则常用作定语。
v. (动词)
depress, oppress, weigh
  • 这组词都可表示“对某物或某人施加压力或重负,令其在重压下倒塌或沮丧”。其区别是：
  • 1.weigh在结果或降低的程度上比depress弱,但更侧重困难或负重,常和down, on或upon连用。
  • 2.depress指以压力或超重使某物下降,也指因身体原因或精神原因而颓唐,侧重于体力减少或某器官功能减弱,指其他事物时,侧重活动力减少。例如:
  • The little girl depressed the button.这个小女孩按下按钮。
  • Bad weather depresses me.坏天气使我感到郁闷。
  • His defeat in the last cross-country race depressed him.他在上一次越野赛中的失败使他感到沮丧。
  • 3.oppress即像weigh一样强调重负,也像 depress一样强调结果。
