error, mistake,
blunder
和 slip
的区别
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

问:请
罗教授详细地讲一下error, mistake,
blunder和slip的区别,好吗?
答:限于篇幅,还是比较扼要地讲一下吧。这是几个常用而又容易搞混的同义词。error指思想或行动背离了正确的轨道,或没有受到正确的指引,因此而出现的偏差。比如:I
pointed out the error in his composition.
(我指出他作文中的错处。)
mistake通常指出处于误解所犯的过失,但是一般不如error严重。比如:He made
a serious
mistake when he chose the law as his profession.
(他选择法律为职业,是犯了一个大错。)
blunder指因为疏忽或愚笨而犯的大错,强调应该受到责备。比如:Sending
the bill to the wrong customer was a terrible blunder.
(把帐单误送给顾客,是个严重错误。)
slip指较小的过错。强调出于无心或偶然。比如:This is
just a slip of the tongue. (这只不过是口误而已。)
