这组词都有“使人不安或烦恼”的意思,其区别是:
vex侧重指因不断的干扰而引起的烦恼,有时含激怒的意味。
trouble指给人在行动上带来不便或在身心上造成痛苦。
annoy强调因被迫忍受令人不快、讨厌的事而失去平静或耐心,多指一时的打拢或恼怒。
disturb较正式用词,多用被动态。指拢乱,使人不能平静或妨碍别人工作、思维或正常秩序,是程度较深的烦恼。
bother指使人烦恼而引起的紧张不安或感到不耐烦。
irritate语气比annoy强得多,指激怒,使发怒,多指一种短时间的反应。

1718年,也称为 bauther 、bather 、bodder,意为“使迷惑,混淆”; 1745年作为“给予麻烦”的意思出现; 最早出现在爱尔兰作家(谢里丹、斯威夫特、斯特恩)的作品中,因此可能源自盎格鲁-爱尔兰语 pother,这可能来自爱尔兰语 bodhairim “我使聋”。相关词汇: Bothered; bothering。名词用法始于1803年。
Verb of obscure origin Note: Early attestations strongly associate the word with Ireland, though if bother is authentically Hiberno-English, the interdental consonant must be secondary, perhaps by association with earlier pother >entry 1, itself of obscure origin. A hypothetical link with Irish bodhar "deaf, confused" is improbable given that the internal dental consonant in Irish was lost by 1300. Noun noun derivative of bother >entry 1
The first known use of bother was circa 1745
