displace : misplace — 287 这两个动词都是 place 这个动词的衍生词,又是同义,都作“放错地方”讲,但两者的意境色彩不全一样:前者表达没有放在原来位置的意思,而后者则表达乱放一气以致难以找到的意思。 例如: The flood displaced every structure in that section of the town. 洪水已把那一段市区的建筑冲垮了。 She should no longer sew, for she has misplaced her scissors. 她无法再缝纫了,因为她不知把剪刀放到哪里了。 比较: He has been displaced. 他已出走了( = … compelled to leave his home )。 He has been misplaced. 他已被安插错了( = … unsuited for the position )。
