詞語辨析
demolish，break，destroy，ruin。
這組詞都含有“破壞”“毀壞”“消滅”的意思。它們的區別在于：1.destroy和ruin這兩個詞所表示的“毀壞”都含有“徹底”的意味，有時可互換。destroy強調“徹底性”；ruin強調不可修復。例如：The rain has ruined（destroyed〕the crops.這雨把莊稼全毀了。2.break，destroy和demolish的主語可以是人，也可以是事物；而ruin的主語多為天災人禍等無形的力量。例如：The windshield broke but did not shatter.擋風玻璃裂了，但沒有碎。All the intruders were destroyed.所有的入侵者都被殲滅了。That street was demolished a few years ago.那條街于幾年前拆除了。She has a very real grievance against the hospital since the operation which ruined her health.自從她做過手術后，健康狀況變壞，所以她確實對醫院有怨言。3.break的賓語可以是有形物，也可以是非物質性的事物；destroy和demolish用于具體事物可指“高樓大廈”等；用于抽象事物時destroy指“名譽”“聲望”等，demolish則指某人的論點、論據等。ruin的賓語則多是美好珍貴的事物。例如：His mother's heart will break if he leaves her.如果他離開母親，她的心會碎的。All his hopes were now destroyed.他的一切希望現在都破滅了。We have demolished all her arguments and she has nothing more to say.我們推翻了她所有的論點，她無言以對。The manuscript was ruined by long exposure in the cold damp cellar.手稿在地下室因長期受陰冷潮濕的破壞而無法辨認了。4.break可用作及物動詞，也可用作不及物動詞；destroy和demolish只用作及物動詞；而ruin多用作及物動詞，偶爾可用作不及物動詞。例如：She broke a vase uncarefully.她不小心打破了一只花瓶。The cup broke when it fell on the floor.茶杯掉到地上摔破了。The mad dog ought to be destroyed.這只瘋狗應該殺死。They are going to demolish that old factory.他們準備拆毀那家舊工廠。I was ruined by that law case；I'm a ruined man!我被那場官司搞垮了，現在已經傾家蕩產!（"ci"："demolish，damage，ruin，spoil。
這組詞都有“破壞，毀壞”的意思。它們的區別是：1.damage一般指“部分的破壞”，通常作“損壞”解，意味著損壞后價值減少或作用減小，有時可用于借喻中。2.demolish是正式用語，指由于巨大外力或急速、猛烈的動作而造成的破壞，其破壞力甚至達到粉碎的程度，往往只剩下一堆廢墟或殘骸。例如：Many buildings had to be demolished before the new highway could be built.必須拆毀許多建筑物才能修建新公路。The car was demolished in a collision汽車撞壞了。3.ruin指把某件東西損害到不能再修理或使用的程度?，F在多用于借喻中。例如：Your plans for a party will be ruined if you get sick.如果你病了，你的聚會計劃就毀了。Moths ruined good woolen clothes by eating holes in them.蛀蟲在很好的毛衣上咬了許多洞，把衣服給毀了。4.spoil一般指某物受到嚴重破壞或損傷，基本上失去原有的價值、用途、美觀，一般含有不可彌補的意味，作不及物動詞用，表示(食物)變壞，腐爛變質等。例如：Too much pepper spoiled the soup she was making for supper.她在晚餐所做的湯里放了過多的胡椒，破壞了湯的味道。
