eat,dine,have,consume,devour,gorge,swallow

這些動(dòng)詞均可表示“吃”之意。 eat普通用詞,使用廣泛。既可用于人,也可用于動(dòng)物。 dine正式用詞,既可指一日三餐中的任何一餐,也可以指特殊的用餐。 have可與eat換用,但強(qiáng)調(diào)一次性的動(dòng)作。 consume側(cè)重痛痛快快地吃得一干二凈,可用于人和動(dòng)物。 devour指狼吞虎咽地吃,強(qiáng)調(diào)吃得既快又徹底。 gorge側(cè)重指拼命地吃或塞,強(qiáng)調(diào)吃飽或吃得過(guò)量。 swallow主要指吃的整個(gè)過(guò)程的第二部分“咽”,并常指咀嚼得匆匆忙忙地吃。
