1.destroy一词最为常见,主要强调破坏的力度之大和彻底,一般不带感

情或修辞色彩。

demolish和raze通常用于巨大物体,如大型建筑物等。

demolish常用引申义,指任何复合体的被毁,如demolishatheorywithafewincisivecomments。

意即“用几句锋利的评语推翻某种理论”。

而raze几乎无一例外地用于指建筑物的被毁。

annihilate在这些词中所表示的损坏程度最为强烈,字面意思是“化为乌有”,但实际上往往用于指对人或物的严重损伤。

如说annihilateanenemyforce,是指使敌军遭到重创,不仅没有还手之力。

而且没有招架之功。

如说annihilateone’sopponentinadebate,是指彻底驳

倒对手。

2。

decay常指某物自然而然地逐渐衰败腐化。

如:

Histeethhavebeguntodecay.（他的牙齿开始老化变坏。

）rot指有机物质,如蔬菜等因菌毒感染而腐败变质,如:

rottingapples（烂了的苹果）。

spoil用于非正式文体,常指食物变质。

如:

Fishspoilsquicklyinsummer。

（鱼在夏天极易变质。

）molder用于指物体缓慢、逐步地腐朽。

如:

Oldbuildingsmolderaway.（老房子渐渐腐烂了。

）disintegrate意指把某物从整体变为碎片或一个个部分。

如:

rocksdisintegratedbyfrostandrain（被霜和雨蚀裂成碎块的岩石）。

decompose

指将物质分解为其构成成分。

如:

Watercallbedecompose（bedecomposed）intohydrogenandoxygen.（水可分解成氧和氧。

）该词还可用来替代rot,使语气

略显委婉。
