    分析 词典对比 组词对比
  • Inconvenience】 ,  【incommode】 ,  【discommode】 ,  【trouble】  are comparable when they mean to subject to disturbance or annoyance.

    Inconvenience】 usually suggests little more than interference with one’s plans, one’s comfort, or one’s freedom of action; it seldom carries suggestions of more than a temporary or slight disturbance or annoyance.

    Incommode】  and, even more,  【discommode】 carry a somewhat heightened suggestion of disturbance or annoyance, but not enough to imply actual suffering or injury; rather, they connote some mental agitation (as embarrassment or vexation) or more or less disagreeable interference with one’s comfort or plans.

    Trouble】  is often used in polite intercourse in a sense close to that of inconvenience】 , when it suggests even less effort or disturbance. It is, however, also used to imply serious disturbance or annoyance (as worry, deep concern, or great pains); in this sense and sometimes in the lighter sense, it is frequently reflexive.
