词语辨析
hate dislike can't stand despise can't bear loathe detest All these words mean to have a strong feeling of dislike for sb/sth. 以上各词均含厌恶、讨厌、憎恶之义。 hate to have a strong feeling of dislike for sb/sth 指厌恶、讨厌、憎恶。 注释 Although hate is generally a very strong verb, it is also commonly used in spoken or informal English to talk about people or things that you dislike in a less important way, for example a particular type of food. 尽管hate通常为语气较强的动词，但亦常用于口语或非正式英语中，无足轻重地谈论所讨厌的人或物，如某种食物等： He hates violence in any form. 他憎恶任何形式的暴力。 I've always hated cabbage. 我从来都讨厌吃卷心菜。 dislike ( rather formal ) to not like sb/sth 指不喜爱、厌恶。 注释 Dislike is a rather formal word; it is less formal, and more usual, to say that you don't like sb/sth, especially in spoken English. dislike为相当正式的用语，don't like则较非正式，而且较常见，尤其在英语口语中： I don't like it when you phone me so late at night. 我不喜欢你夜里这么晚给我打电话。 can't stand ( rather informal ) used to emphasize that you really do not like sb/sth 强调不喜欢、受不了、不能容忍： I can't stand his brother. 他弟弟让我受不了。 She couldn't stand being kept waiting. 叫她等着，她会受不了。 despise to dislike and have no respect for sb/sth 指鄙视、蔑视、看不起： He despised himself for being so cowardly. 他为自己如此怯懦而自惭形秽。 can't bear used to say that you dislike sth so much that you cannot accept or deal with it 指无法承受、应付不了： I can't bear having cats in the house. 家里有猫我可受不了。 用can't stand还是can't bear？ In many cases you can use either word, but can't bear is slightly stronger and slightly more formal than can't stand . 在许多情况下，两个短语可通用，但can't bear比can't stand语气稍强，而且较正式。 loathe to hate sb/sth very much 指极不喜欢、厌恶： They loathe each other. 他们相互讨厌。 注释 Loathe is generally an even stronger verb than hate , but it can also be used more informally to talk about less important things, meaning ‘re
