词义辨析

confront, be confronted with

这组词语都可表示“面对(着)”,它们之间的区别是:

confront有强烈的动作和意愿性,而be confronted with主要表示一种状态,而且常常不是出于主语的意愿。

confront, encouter, face, meet

参见face条。

meet，encounter，confront，face，contact

这些动词均有“遇见、会见、碰见”之意。

meet普通用词，本义指双方或多方从不同方向或相反方向作相对运动，最终相碰(遇)。

encounter通常指遇到困难或挫折，也指偶然或意外地相遇。

confront 不可避免地，面对面地相遇，也指敢于正视困难或问题。

face侧重双方静止地面对面，或指充满勇气、信心和决心去正视人或事。

contact多指通过书信、电话或直接会面和别人联系，口语用词。
