 ♣ announce, declare, proclaim, publish
　这四个词都有“宣布”的意思。其区别是：
1. 从主语上说， proclaim的主语只能是权力机关或政府首脑；announce, declare和publish则既可以是权力机关或政府首脑，也可以是普通个人。
2. 从宾语上说，即宣布的内容上说， announce指公众关心的，特别是具有新闻性的事件。例如：
　The rise of prices of grain was announced in the papers.　粮价上涨已在报上公布。
　declare　指重要的决策、举措或意见。例如：
　The government declared rubber a strategic and critical material.　政府宣布橡胶为重要战略物资。
　proclaim　指意义重大的事情。例如：
　The founding of the United Nations was proclaimed in 1945. 　1945年联合国宣告成立。
3. 从宣布的方法上说， announce, declare, proclaim既可指口头地，也可指书面地；而publish则主要指印成文字地。
4. 从宣布的目的上说， announce, proclaim, publish在于使众所周知；而declare则在于使人明白。例如：
　The arrested man declared himself innocent.　被捕的人声称自己是无罪的。
5. 从使用场合上说， proclaim用在正式场合；declare主要用于正式场合，也可用于非正式场合；announce则不如proclaim和declare正式庄重，可以用于一般场合，也可用于官方正式公告。
 ♣ announce to, declare to
　这两个短语的共同意思是“向…宣布”。其区别在于：announce to的宣布是指对公众宣布或特定一群人所关心之事的公开和正式的宣布，例如：
　He announced to them the birth of his first baby.　他向他们宣布他的第一个小孩的诞生。
　declare to　意为作官方或个人正式的、公开有力的宣告，此宣告既清楚又明了，例如：
　I declare to you that I have never lied about the affair.　我向你声明，我在这件事上从来没有说过谎。
