adv.(副词)

1. express作副词时,意思是“用快递方式地”,指用快速投递或快车代步方式地,引申还可指“特意地”“专门地”,在句中通常作状语。

1. 在美国，express company指“快递公司”，相当于英国的carrier 或firm of carriers。 express在美国还可表示“快递事业”或“由快递公司运送”；
2. express同explicit两者均有表示“明确的”的意思，但是express通常在表述清楚的时候带着一定的目的性，去解释或辩解。不同的是，explicit一般是在给出详细的细节去作说明解释，使观点更清楚明确；
3. express oneself表示“表达自己的意思”，有时会在oneself后加as。

   He expressed himself perfectly satisfied.
   他表示自己很满意。

v.(动词)

express, air, broach, utter, vent, voice

这组词都有“表达”的意思。其区别是：

express含义最广,可指口头、笔头或用其他任何方式表达思想、感情、经历、构思或个性; air指宣扬某人的看法,希望引起公众的注意或获得同情; broach强调首次提出,尤指经过深思熟虑之后或等待辩论; vent强调无法控制地发泄或吐露强烈感情; voice专指用言语强有力地表达出一个人的思想、意见或感情; utter指突然发出某种强烈的声音。例如:

I can't express it properly.我不能恰当地把它表达出来。

He is ready to air his views to anyone.他乐于向人发表他的观点。

At last he broached the subject of the new contract to them.最后他向他们提出新合同的问题。

The wounded man uttered a groan.那受伤的人发出痛苦的呻吟。

He had had a bad day at work and vented his anger on his family.他整天不顺心,便拿家里人出气。

The chairman encouraged us all to voice our opinions.主席鼓励我们发表自己的意见。

adv.(副词)

express, expressly

这两个词的区别是:express表示“快速投递”“快车代步”; expressly则表示“明白地”。例如:

我们已把每件事情交代得清清楚楚。

v.(动词)

我简直无法表达我当时的想法。

误 I could hardly express that I thought then.

正 I could hardly express my opinion that I thought then.

析 express之后不能直接接that从句。

我想向你表示衷心的感谢。

误 Let me express you our heartfelt thanks.

正 Let me express our heartfelt thanks to you.

析 express不可以人作宾语,也不可用于express sb sth 结构。如要表达“对某人表示…”,可用express sth to sb 结构。

误 He is still unable to express his own ideas in English.
