小知识
To clutch is to grasp or hold on to tightly. Some people clutch the safety bar on the roller coaster for dear life; others throw their hands in the air.
As a noun, clutch has many meanings: a brood of chickens, a strapless purse, the extra pedal in a stick-shift car. But the verb remains a great way to describe grasping. “Once I knew only darkness and stillness . . . but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living,” said Helen Keller, recalling the moment she learned to read Braille.

词语辨析
v(动词)clutch，clutch at这两个词(组)的共同意思是“抓”。前者指已经在手的东西；后者指尚未到手的东西。clutch，grab，grasp，seize，snatch，take
这组词都可表示“伸出手或臂去抓住某物”。其区别在于take仅指抓住具体的东西；clutch强调匆匆忙忙、紧急、迫不及待，因而抓住的可能性较小，引申可用于思想上或情感上的把握；grab常含有庸俗和不关心他人或无视公共准则的意思；grasp的基本意思是指用手、牙齿、爪等紧紧抓住某人或某物，引申指能充分理解难以理解的东西；seize通常指突然地、有力地抓住，引申用于无形的东西时，往往强调该物在快速掠过或难以捉摸，或强调有力地、出人意料地夺取，或强调理解了难以理解或难以分析的事物；snatch强调不为人知、救人及时或动作粗暴，引申指偶然地或无准备地抓住能抓住的东西。例如She clutched at my arm as she fell.她跌倒时想要抓住我的胳臂。He grabbed the coin and ran off.他抓起硬币就跑了。I grasped the man by the arm.我抓住了那人的手臂。He seized the gun from the robber.他从强盗手里夺过了枪。The letter was snatched out of my hand before I could read it.那封信我还没来得及看就被别人从我手里拿走了。take，grasp，grab，grip，clasp，clutch，snatch，seize
这些动词均有“抓住，握紧”之意。
