易混词辨析
delay、delay doing、postpone、put off
1. delay(动词 / 名词):“推迟;延误;耽搁”(搭配 “delay the meeting;flight delay”),动词表 “主动推迟” 或 “被动延误”,名词表 “延误事件”;
2. delay doing(动词搭配):“推迟做某事”(如 “delay making a decision”),易漏加 “ing”(误写 “delay make”);
3. postpone(动词):“推迟;延期”(搭配 “postpone the exam to next week”),比 delay 更正式,仅表 “主动推迟”,无 “被动延误” 含义(如 “flight postponed” 需用 “delayed”);
4. put off(动词短语):“推迟;拖延”(搭配 “put off the work;put off doing”),口语化,与 delay 的 “通用” 相比更随意,易混淆 “put off” 与 “postpone” 的正式度差异。
常用短语
without delay 立即;毫不迟延地
delay spread 延迟扩展
delay time 延迟时间,推迟时间
delay payment 延付;延期付款
