decrease,reduce的区别

来源:百度知道 编辑:UC知道 时间:2024/05/06 10:28:32
在练习册中说decrease强调数目或使人不快之物逐渐减少。
reduce可以表示尺寸,数量,程度或强度的减少,词义引申后,还可以表示地位,处境或状况的降低。
可视我做起题目来还是不知道,请高数我它们的具体区别,并帮我分析一下下列题
1.the conductor____(降低火车速度)because of the traffic accident ahead.
2.the number of milu deer has____(减少到250只)in that area
3.the time he spent on his study has____(减少)since he became interested in on-line games
4.the population of the village has_____(减少了120人还有大约600人)
5.the workers___(降低)their wage demands
答案1.reduced the speed of the train
2.decreased to 250
3.decreased
4.decreased by 120 to about 600
5.reduced
请详细分析过程。谢谢

作这种区分的很多时候都要有点语感
你自己研究一下,看看用decrease的是不是大部分是描述一种客观状态的。而reduce有点主观减少降低的意思。

1、decrease 强调数目或使人不快之物的逐渐减少。
如:to decrease the number of working hours,
减少工作时间
to decrease traffic accidents.
减少交通事故,等
The workmen want to decrease the number of working hours and increase pay.
工人要求减少工作时间而增加工资。

2、reduce 则表示尺寸、数量、程度或强度的减少,词义引伸之后,可以表示地位、处境、状况的降低。
如:to reduce the speed,减速
to reduce household expense,节省开支
to be reduced to tears,减少眼泪

This greatly reduced the speed of the ship ,for there was danger that if she travelled too quickly,this rudder would be torn away.
这大大减低了船速,因为如果它走得太快,这个舵会有被冲掉的危险。

你可以看看,好像这样就比较好分出来了!
