- Criticize can mean merely to evaluate good and bad points without necessarily finding fault: Criticize 这一词可以只指评价好的方面和差的方面,而不一定有非难之意: "To criticize is to appreciate, to appropriate, to take intellectual possession" (Henry James).Usually, however, the word implies the expression of disapproval: “去评判意味着去欣赏、挪用、占有知识财富” (亨利·詹姆斯)。然而,这个词通常含有不同意的意思: The reviewer roundly criticized the novel.评论家直言不讳地批评了这本小说。
- Blame emphasizes the finding of fault and the fixing of responsibility: Blame 这个词强调了非难和负担责任的意思: "People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are" (George Bernard Shaw). “人们经常责备使他们成为现在这个样子的周围环境” (乔治·萧伯纳)。
- Reprehend implies sharp disapproval: Reprehend 含有强烈反对的意思: "reprehends students who have protested apartheid" (New York Times). “严厉谴责那些宣扬种族隔离政策的学生” (《纽约时报》)。
- Censure refers to open and strong expression of criticism;often it implies a formal reprimand: Censure 指的是公开和强烈的批评之意;它通常含有正式谴责的意思: "No man can justly censure or condemn another,because indeed no man truly knows another" (Thomas Browne).“没有人能够公正地苛评或谴责他人,因为事实上没有人能够真正地了解他人” (托马斯·布朗)。
- Condemn denotes the pronouncement of harshly adverse judgment: Condemn 表示的是对十分不利的判断的宣称之意: "The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant and so devastating that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored because it cannot survive their being repeated" (Robert H. Jackson). “我们试图谴责和惩罚的那些不公正的事是如此地故意、有害和有破坏性,以致于人类文明无法容忍它们被忽略不计,因为它无法在它们重复发生后得以幸存” (罗伯特·H·杰克逊)。
- Denounce implies public proclamation of condemnation or repudiation: Denounce 含有对谴责或否定的公开宣称之意: The press denounces clandestine support for the counterrevolution. 新闻界痛斥了对反革命的暗中支持
