boast区别

 pride, boast, brag, crow

这组词都有“自夸,吹嘘”的意思,其区别是:

pride与boast的意义较接近,指炫耀、夸口,自鸣得意,常与反身代词连用。

boast普通用词,指对自己所做的事,自己的长处、财富以及家庭等的夸耀,常含言过其实的意味。

brag非正式用词,其夸耀和吹嘘意味强于boast,到了过分夸大,有时令人讨厌的地步。

crow多指大声吵嚷地吹嘘,夸耀自己做某事比他人做得好。

boast词源中文解释

13世纪中期,“傲慢,自负,骄傲; ”约1300年,“吹嘘,夸张的言辞”,源自盎格鲁-法语 bost “炫耀”,可能来自斯堪的纳维亚源头(比较挪威语 baus “骄傲,大胆,勇敢”),源自原始日耳曼语 *bausia “膨胀,吹气,肿胀”(源头还包括中古高地德语 bus “肿胀”,方言德语 baustern “肿胀”; 中古荷兰语 bose,荷兰语 boos “邪恶,恶毒,愤怒”,古高地德语 bosi “无价值的,诽谤的”,德语 böse “邪恶的,坏的,愤怒的”),源自原始印欧语 *bhou-, 变体为 *beu-, *bheu-, 一种与肿胀有关的词根(参见 bull(n.2))。

显然,这个概念是指因骄傲而“膨胀”; 比较古英语 belgan “变得愤怒,冒犯,激怒”, belg “愤怒,傲慢”,来自与 bellows 和 belly(n.)相同的词根。意思是“吹嘘的原因,引起骄傲的场合”来自于1590年代。相关: Boasted; boasting。古英语中“吹嘘”的词是 micelsprecende,字面意思是“大话”。
