imply, connote, denote, indicate, mean, signify, suggest, symbolize

这组词的共同意思是“意指”。其区别是：

1.mean是普通用语,对于明确与否的观点、物品都可以用; suggest意为“具有…的含义”,暗示“表明”。例如:

He claims to mean one thing, but his choice of words suggests quite another.他宣称指的是一件事,而他的话却含有另外一个含义。

2.indicate与imply意为“说明,表明,象征”, indicate通常指明显、明确的事物。例如:

A high fever indicates a severe illness.高烧预示着要生病了。

imply通常指含蓄地、不明确地“暗示”。例如:

His smile implied that he had forgotten all about the time.他的笑预示着他完全忘记了时间。

3.denote与connote通常指明示的内容、含义,从外观上即可看出。例如:

The word “lion” denotes〔connotes〕 a certain kind of animal.“狮子”这个词指一种动物。

4.connote与suggest和imply有时可以替换,但connote的用法比其他两个词较为正式。例如:

Hunger connotes〔suggests, implies〕 unhappiness.饥饿就预示着不高兴。

5.signify与symbolize表示“意味,象征”, symbolize通常指用物、符号代表某物,着重表示抽象的概念。例如:

What does this strange mark signify〔symbolize〕?这个奇怪的符号代表什么?

6.signify有时可以和mean互换。例如:

A red sunset signifies〔means〕 fine weather.一轮火红的落日象征着一个好天气。

imply, infer

这组词都与“暗示”有关:imply指作者或讲演者用某种方式暗示的意思; 而infer是指读者或听众从“暗示”中推断。例如:

The speaker or writer implies things; the listener or reader infers things.讲演者和作者暗示事情,听者和读者则从中推断事情。

imply, involve, mean

这组词的共同意思是“意味着”。其区别是：

mean使用范围广,可指专门的、具体的事情,也可指暗示的意义或态度; imply含有不直接用文字或语言作充分表示而是靠听话人理解、领会出暗含的意思; involve表示必然产生某种结果。
