近义词解析:迟延的同义词

📚 核心近义词

1. delay(普通用词,泛指推迟)

The flight was delayed due to bad weather.
航班因恶劣天气延误

2. postpone(正式推迟到特定时间)

We had to postpone the meeting to next week.
我们不得不将会议推迟到下周。

3. defer(有意推迟,常指决定)

He decided to defer his studies for a year.
他决定延迟一年学业。

4. procrastinate(拖延,含贬义)

Stop procrastinating and start working!
别再拖延了,开始工作吧!

💡 顾老师提示:"迟延"的近义词区别在于:delay中性通用,postpone正式有计划,defer主动决定,procrastinate消极拖延。

🔊 发音对比

delay:/dɪˈleɪ/ [dɪˈleɪ]

postpone:/pəˈspəʊn/ [pəˈspəʊn]

defer:/dɪˈfɜːr/ [dɪˈfɜːr]

procrastinate:/prəˈkræstɪneɪt/ [prəˈkræstɪneɪt]

发音要点:

  • delay重音在第二音节,结尾"lay"要清晰
  • postpone注意"post"不发音,重音在"pone"
  • defer的"fer"发长音/fɜːr/
  • procrastinate是五音节词,重音在第三音节"cras"

💡 顾老师纠音:常见错误:

  • 把postpone读成/post'pəʊn/(正确:[pəˈspəʊn]
  • procrastinate漏读中间的"sti"音节
  • 混淆defer和differ的发音

🎯 用法区别

1. delay(客观原因导致的延迟)

Traffic delayed our arrival by an hour.
交通使我们的到达延迟了一小时。

2. postpone(正式安排改期)
