通译比典:vacillate与falter之间的辨析

【Hesitate】 , 【waver】 , 【vacillate】 , 【falter】 all mean to show irresolution or uncertainty.

【Hesitate】 , the general term, usually implies a pause or other sign of indecision before one makes up one’s mind what to do, say, or choose.

【Waver】 (see also SWING 2 ) implies hesitation after a decision has been reached and so usually connotes weakness or retreat.

【Vacillate】 implies prolonged hesitation resulting from one’s inability to reach a fixed or final decision; the term connotes alternate decision and indecision or a shifting (as in opinions, choices, or loyalties).

【Falter】 suggests a wavering in purpose or action that is evident or is made evident in such signs of fear or nervousness as trembling or the breaking of the voice.
