These words all mean to have a strong feeling of dislike for sb/sth. 以上各词均含厌恶、讨厌、憎恶之义。

  • hate to have a strong feeling of dislike for sb/sth 指厌恶、讨厌、憎恶 NOTE Although hate is generally a very strong verb, it is also commonly used in spoken or informal English to talk about people or things that you dislike in a less important way, for example a particular type of food. 尽管 hate 通常为语气很强的动词,但亦常用于口语或非正式英语中,谈论不太喜欢的人或物,如某种食物等He hates violence in any form. 他憎恶任何形式的暴力。I've always hated cabbage. 我从来都讨厌吃卷心菜。
  • dislike (rather formal) to not like sb/sth 指不喜欢、厌恶 NOTE Dislike is a rather formal word; it is less formal, and more usual, to say that you don't like sb/sth, especially in spoken English. * dislike 为相当正式的用语,don't like 则较非正式,而且较常用,尤其在英语口语中I don't like it when you phone me so late at night. 我不喜欢你夜里这么晚给我打电话。
  • can't stand (rather informal) used to emphasize that you really do not like sb/sth 强调不喜欢、受不了、不能容忍I can't stand his brother. 他弟弟让我受不了。She couldn't stand being kept waiting. 叫她等着,她会受不了。
  • despise to dislike and have no respect for sb/sth 指鄙视、蔑视、看不起He despised himself for being so cowardly. 他为自己如此怯懦而自惭形秽。
  • can't bear used to say that you dislike sth so much that you cannot accept or deal with it 指无法承受、应付不了I can't bear having cats in the house. 家里有猫我可受不了。

can't stand or can't bear? 用 can't stand 还是 can't bear?

In many cases you can use either word, but can't bear is slightly stronger and slightly more formal than can't stand. 在许多情况下,两个短语可通用,但 can't bear 比 can't stand 语气稍强,而且较正式。

  • loathe to hate sb/sth very much 指极不喜欢、厌恶They loathe each other. 他们相互讨厌。 NOTE Loathe is generally an even stronger verb than hate, but it can also be used more informally to talk about less important things, meaning 'really don't like'. * loathe 通常比 hate 语气还强,但亦可用于非正式场合指不太重要的事情,意为确实不喜欢Whether you love or loathe their music, you can't deny their talent. 无论你是否喜欢他们的音乐,你都无法否认他们的才能。
  • detest (rather formal) to hate sb/sth very much 指厌恶、憎恨、讨厌They absolutely detest each other. 他们完全是相互憎恨。
