词汇解析:承认的反义词

📚 主要反义词

1. 否认 (deny)

He denied all the accusations.
否认了所有指控。

2. 拒绝 (refuse)

She refused to acknowledge her mistake.
拒绝承认错误。

3. 否定 (negate)

The evidence negates his previous statement.
证据否定了他先前的声明。

4. 不承认 (disavow)

The organization disavowed any connection with him.
该组织不承认与他有任何关联。

💡 顾老师提示:"否认"强调对事实的不认可,"拒绝"侧重主观意愿的不接受,"否定"更正式且常用于逻辑关系,"不承认"则带有官方或正式切割的含义。

🔊 发音指导

deny/dɪˈnaɪ/ [dɪˈnaɪ]

重音在第二音节,结尾"ny"发/naɪ/(类似"奈")

refuse/rɪˈfjuːz/ [rɪˈfjuːz]

注意动词和名词发音不同(名词读/ˈrefjuːs/)

negate/nɪˈɡeɪt/ [nɪˈɡeɪt]

"gate"部分发/geɪt/(类似"给特")

disavow/ˌdɪsəˈvaʊ/ [ˌdɪsəˈvaʊ]

次重音在第一音节,重音在第三音节

💡 顾老师纠音:常见错误包括将"deny"读成"迪尼"(正确:/dɪˈnaɪ/),"negate"的重音错放在第一音节(正确在第二音节)。

🎯 用法辨析

1. deny vs. refuse

"Deny"用于否认事实,"refuse"用于拒绝请求

2. negate的正式用法

常用于法律、学术语境

3. disavow的特殊场景

  • deny + doing/noun(不接to do)
  • refuse + to do(接不定式)
  • negate + noun(直接接宾语)
  • disavow + noun(多接抽象名词)
