v.(動詞)decline用作動詞的基本意思是有禮貌地拒絕邀請、給予或服務。引申可表示“衰落,降低”“傾斜,下降”“下沉”。作“辭謝,謝絕”解時多用作及物動詞,其后可接名詞、動名詞或動詞不定式作賓語。作“衰落”解時只用作不及物動詞。
v.(動詞)decline, refuse, reject
這三個詞的共同意思是“拒絕”。其區別是:
1.從語氣上來說, refuse是最普通的用詞,一般指直接地拒絕,語氣不那么委婉。decline語氣較委婉,相當于漢語的“謝絕”。例如:
He declined my invitation because of a previous appointment.因另有約會在先,他謝絕了我的邀請。
reject語氣強烈,用于正式場合,如外交和商業條款之類,表示當面明確地拒絕所給、所請、所提議之事,另外還有拋棄或剔除不適當的或不喜歡的東西的意味。例如:
He rejected my friendly advice upon further consideration.他經過進一步的考慮,明確地拒絕了我友好的建議。
2.從搭配上來說,這三個詞都可接名詞(如an offer)作賓語,但invitation只能與refer, decline搭配; suggestion只能與reject, decline搭配; permission只能與refuse搭配; plan只能與reject搭配。另外refuse和decline都可接動詞不定式作賓語,而reject則不可以。例如:
He refused〔declined〕 to join us in the game.他拒絕與我們一起游戲。
☆ 14世紀初期進入英語,直接源自古法語的decliner,意為折彎,轉彎;最初源自拉丁語的declinare:de (從) + clinare (彎曲)。
