用法讲解

v. (动词)
  1. detain的基本意思是“使延迟”“使延误”,可用于出发、到达,也可用于某种想法的出现,也可表示由于各种理由而被滞留某地; 还可表示依法抓住并关押或监护起来。
  2. detain是及物动词,接名词或代词作宾语,偶尔也可接以动词不定式充当补足语的复合宾语。可用于被动结构。
v. (动词)
detain, apprehend, arrest, attach
  • 这组词都有依法逮捕、拘押、监禁的意思,其区别是：
  • arrest可用于刑事案件,也可用于民事案件,如债务等; 而apprehend只用于刑事案件; attach常指因逃脱而扣押或查封,用于人时也只指将其拘留到法庭出庭作证; detain则是为了询问或审查而拘留或监护,不是严格的法律术语。
    • detain, delay, retard, slacken, slow
  • 这组词都可表示“使某人〔事〕落后于”原计划的安排或通常的进展速度。它们之间的区别是:delay主要指因某事的干扰而妨碍按时完成或到达; detain主要指耽误时间,不能按时到达或离开,也可指不能完成想完成的事情; retard主要指减慢运动、进步速度; slow常与up或down连用,指降低进步的速度,强调主观的意图和目的性; slacken侧重某种松弛〔懈〕。例如:
  • I was detained late in the factory.厂里有事我无法脱身,很晚才离开。
  • Cold weather retards the growth of the crops.寒冷的天气妨碍作物的生长。
  • His bad leg slows him down a lot.他那条受伤的腿使他的速度大受影响。
  • Don't slacken your efforts when the job is only half done.工作只做到一半时可别松劲。
    • detain, keep
  • 这组词都有“留住,耽搁”的意思。其区别在于:
  • 1.detain尤指警察进行“拘留”,一般指“留住,耽搁”时,常含有强迫之意; keep多用于口语中。
  • 2.detain比keep语气重,且更正式。
    • 用作动词 (v.)
