英语单词解析
帮忙解释一下Soothe和console的区别,

console意为“宽慰”,主语通常是人,一般用来指宽慰失望的,不开心的人
例子:She consoled him by saying that he had done his best.
(她宽慰他说,他已经尽了最大的努力)(注意此处he的情绪是失望哦,所以用console更好)
soothe的主语可以为人也可以为物
人作主语常表示“劝慰,抚慰”,常常表示安慰那些紧张不安,或者担心忧虑的人,使他们镇静下来
物做主语时表示“减轻,缓解(身体某部位的疼痛或不适)”
例子:He put his hand on her shoulder to soothe her,telling her that the police would bring her son back safe and sound.(他把手放在她的肩上,想要安慰她,告诉她警察会把她的孩子安全地带回来)(she很担心,所以soothe更为恰当~)
A warm shower will soothe your tired muscles.(一个热水澡会让你疲惫的肌肉得到放松)
楼主能看明白区别了吗,如果还不懂可以再问我~
