    execrate 对比 damn
    分析 词典对比 组词对比
  • Execrate】 , 【curse】 ,  【damn】 ,  【anathematize】 ,  【objurgate】  are comparable when meaning to denounce violently and indignantly.

    Execrate】 implies intense loathing or hatred and, usually, a fury of passion. It often suggests acts as well as words which give an outlet to these emotions.

    Curse】 in reference to earlier custom may imply an invocation to the Supreme Being to visit deserved punishment upon a person or to afflict him for his sins.

    In more general use  【curse】  and  【damn】  (see also SENTENCE ) do not markedly differ in meaning. Both usually imply angry denunciation by blasphemous oaths or profane imprecations.

    Anathematize】 implies solemn denunciation (as of an evil, a heresy, or an injustice). It is used chiefly in reference to the impassioned denunciations of preachers or moralists.

    Objurgate】 implies a vehement decrial or criticism and often suggests the use of harsh or violent language in the expression of one’s views so that it may approach  【curse】  or  【damn】 in some of its uses.
