参考词汇

(1)frighten,scare,alarm,terify,horrify,intimidate,cow这组动词都有“恐吓”的意思。

(2)是最普通的词，没有特殊的意义，仅表示“吓唬”或“使…害怕”

Not wanting to frighten the poor man, Mrs Richards quickly hid in the small store-room under the stairs.

理查夫人不想吓唬这可怜的人，所以她很快地藏到楼梯下的小贮藏室里。

(3)在口语中的含义与frighten相同，可以通用；但是在文学作品中，用词准确的作家总是把它用于表示把某人“吓跑”

The dog scared the thief away.

那只狗把小偷吓跑了。

The firecrackers scared the cat.

爆竹声把那只猫吓跑了。

(4)总用于表示不仅怕而且担心，很象汉语的“风声鹤唳，草木皆兵”所描绘的受到惊吓的情境

…it can absorb the atmosphere of its new home and see that nothing particularly alarming is happening to its companions.

…它(指新捕获的象)可以适应新居的气氛而且可以看到伙伴们并未出什么特别令人担惊受怕的事情。

Hearing the siren from the mine, all the miners' wives were greatly alarmed.

听到矿上的警报后，所有的矿工的妻子都受到极大的惊吓。

(5)的含义是“使恐怖”，受到这种惊怕的人是不能自制的

Bruce engaged low gear and drove at a terrifying speed, keeping the front wheels astride the crack as he followed its zig-zag course.

布鲁斯接通了低速挡，开车速度快得令人害怕；他在使前轮分跨地裂的同时曲曲折折地前进。

(6)horrify表示看到可怕的事情之后的心理反应，或者表示看到非常肮脏、使人厌恶的东西的一种心理反应

…and there they huddle, migrants in the favellas and barrios of Latin America,in shanty towns in Africa, in those horrifying encampments one sees on the outskirts of Calcutta and Bombay.

在那里，他们作为移民拥挤在拉丁美洲的贫民窟和郊外，在非洲的简陋的村镇里，在一些你可以在加尔各答和孟买郊区看到的那些可怕的难民营里。

(7)的原义是使胆怯，现代英语中这个词的含义是由于别人施加暴力或采用强迫手段而受到恐吓，被恐吓者“屈服”是这个词的内涵

Aeroplanes have the reputation of being dangerous and even hardened travellers are intimidated by them.

飞机以危险而著名，即使久经锻炼的旅行家也为之胆怯。

(8)不仅含有“吓”得屈服的意思，而且强调失去了一切勇气和胆量

…,in fact they did nothing of the kind, but children were then too cowed to let them know how they really felt.

……，事实上他们保持不了，只不过孩子们被吓得不敢让他们知道自己的真实情感而已。
