    小知识

    If you avenge your father's death by killing his murderer (thereby taking revenge for the crime), there is a good chance you'll end up in jail, if you're caught.

    Many movie plots center on a character who seeks to avenge an injury of some kind. Whether it be Simba in “The Lion King,” who wants to avenge his father's death, or Erin Brockovich, who seeks to avenge the suffering caused by a crooked and polluting California power company. One trick to remembering the word is that it's similar to the word revenge, which is the thing you're going for when you're seeking to avenge a bad deed. Watch for the venge in both words, and you'll know you're in the right department.

    词语辨析
    v.(动词)avenge,revenge
    这组词的共同意思是“报复”。其区别是1.avenge和revenge都可用于为自己所受的伤害而报仇,avenge还可指为别人所受的伤害而报仇。2.revenge多出于利己的动机,而非出于利他的动机;avenge多出于正义的动机,是高尚的用语。3.avenge强调“惩罚”,而revenge强调“报复”“出气”,惩罚意义较淡。4.avenge强调为受冤屈者或受害者等报仇。此举虽出于个人行为,然而是匡扶正义,而对方罪有应得。revenge强调对个人所受的冤屈予以报复,实施报复者多是受害者本身,但有时并非出于正义,此种冤屈可能实有其事,但也可能出于猜测,或个人私怨。5.avenge只可用作动词,而revenge却可用作动词或名词。
