#Common chinese synonyms discriminated#-5-巴不得，恨不得 As idiomatic expressions often used in colloquial speech, both verbs express a strong wish or an ardent hope for something. While 巴不得 normally express a possible wish, a wish that can be realized, given certain circumstances. 恨不得 generally expresses a strong wish in exaggerated terms, a wish that normally cannot be relized, no matter what. Hence 恨不得 generally conveys stronger emotions than 巴不得. In terms of usage, 巴不得 is used either as a transitive or as an intransitive verb, while 恨不得 can be only be used transitively. 巴不得 can take objects in either their affirmative or their negative forms, whereas 恨不得 mostly takes objects in their affirmative forms.巴不得 can also be used as an attributive with a 的 to modify a noun, while this usage is not application to 恨不得. Besides, the object of 巴不得 can be a clause, a verbal phrase or a noun phrase (especially a noun phrase with a numeral), but what follows 恨不得 can only be a clause or a verbal phrase, never a none phrase. *孩子们巴不得下雪，可以不去上学 *他们巴不得你不去，因为你会给他们添麻烦 *我恨不得插上翅膀立刻就飞到妈妈身边 *忙的时候，我恨不得能有三头六臂。 Exercise 1. 他不让我去，我还（）不去呢。 2. 老师批评我的时候 ，我惭愧的（）转进地里面去。

#Common chinese synonyms discriminated#-4-奥秘、机密、秘密 While 奥妙can only used as a none, both 机密 and 秘密 can be used either as adjectives or as nouns. All three terms share the idea of something that one doese not know. 奥妙 connotes mystery and wonder and it usually refers to some natural phenomena which are still beyond one's comprehension, or to other abstract things that may make people mystified: Different from 奥妙，which is objectively unknown to everyone, 机密 and 秘密 both refer to something that one deliberately hides from being known by others. 机密, as a more formal term than 秘密, usually means something important and secret. It therefore often applies to some important information of a state, a party, a military unit, or an enterprise. 秘密, on the other hand, is a more generic term, referring to anything that is not to be made public or to be shared by others, whether it is of a personal matter or of the business of a state or an organization. Hence it has a wider application than 机密： In terms of usage, 秘密 can serve as an adverbial modifying a verb in a sentence, whereas 机密 cannot. Besides, one also needs to notice the following common word collocations. *我们一定要探索宇宙更多的奥秘。 *这是国家机密，我不能告诉任何人。 *秘密武器，秘密投票，秘密访问，秘密会谈 Exercise 1.姑娘的（ ）和烦恼只有他知道； 2.只要不涉及国家（）和安全，新闻记者可以自由采访； 3.人类还要等多久才能了解生命的（）呢？

#Common chinese synonyms discriminated#-3-安心、放心 Both verbs are used to indicate a frame of mind being at ease. Whereas 安心 stresses serenity as a result of a feeling of safty and security, 放心 generally indicates peace of mind because there is no cause for worry or anxiety. So, 他不安心公司的工作 would express the idea that he is not happy or his mind is not at ease with his job at the present company because of various reasons, implying his possible departure, whereas 他不放心公司的工作， on the contrary, would show that he is worrying about the current work at the company lest problems occur, indicating his serious attitude towards his work. As another example, 工作没做完，我怎么能安心呢？（With the job unfinished, how could I set my mind at ease?）stresses "my" anxiety about the possibility that we might not be able to finish the job on time or about other external concerns, whereas 工作没做完，我怎么能放心呢？（With the job unfinished, how could I feel relieved?）has more to do with "my" concern that there might be some specific problems with our work itself. In general, the objects of 安心 are things only, while those of 放心 can be either people or things. In terms of usage, the affirmative and negative forms of both 安心 and 放心 can also be 安下心来，安不下心来 and 放下心来，放不下心来or 放心不下 respectively. Different from 安心，however,放心 can take as its object a noun phrase or a clause only in a negative or interrogative sentence, and not in an afirmative sentence. So, one can say 我不放心他的身体 or 你放心他的身体吗？ but not 我放心他的身体。 On the other hand, 安心 is often used to modify a verb, and 放心 is less often used in this way. *这么小的孩子，你放心让她一个人出去吗？ *有了妻子的帮助，他就可以安下心来（安心）写书了 Exercise 1.现在的一些年轻人在哪儿工作都不（ ） 2.其他几个孩子都好，就是不（ ）我的小儿子

#Common chinese synonyms discriminated#-2-爱护、爱戴 Both verbs express fondness and love, especially those for people. They differ only in the different connotations conveyed by the second character in each term. 护 in 爱护 means "to protect", so the term 爱护 literally expresses love and protection and its object can be either people or things. Because one loves someone or soemthing, one naturally wants to protect the person or the things. Hence the term can be used to express the idea of taking care of people or things in general because one treasures them. When its object is people, it usually shows the care of a superior for an inferior, or of a senior for a junior. *李老师很爱护她的学生。下雨的时候，总是亲自送身体不好的同学回家。 *请爱护公园里的花草 爱戴, on the other hand, connotes respect, esteem and hence support as suggested by 拥戴（to support "sb. as a leader"）. It is usually used to show ordinary people's love for their leaders, students's love for their teachers or children's love for their parents and it is usually used in the pattern of "受...的爱戴". The recipients of 爱戴 are usually people of prestige or persons who command respect. Contary to 爱护， therefore, the attitude of 爱戴 is only to be shown by an inferior towards a superior, or by a junior towards a senior. *张教授一直很受同学们的爱戴 *这位总统的错误使他失去了人民对他的爱戴。 Exercise 2 1. 校长三年来辛勤工作，赢得了全校老师与学生的 （ ）。 2. 天黑了，不要看书了。你得（ ）你的眼睛。

#Common chinese synonyms discriminated#1-喜欢、爱好、嗜好、癖好 All four terms indicate liking or interest in something, but they increase progressively in their semantic intensity and vary in their connotations, Of the four, 喜欢 is a verb, while 爱好 can be both a verb and a noun, and 嗜好/ 癖好 generally only serve as nouns 1. 喜欢 is the most popular of the group and is the equivalent of the english all-purpose word "like", which can be used to indicate one's interest and fondness in things in a generic sense. 2. 爱 in 爱好，on the other hand, means "to love"; therefore,爱好 is generally stronger in meaning than 喜欢，and is often used of one's hobby in addition to one's interest in and fondness of something commonly considered good or worthy of an active participation. The objects of 喜欢 are usually concrete things whereas those for 爱好 can be both concrete and abstract objects, e.g.喜欢/爱好 文学/书画，but 爱好和平，爱好自由，etc. Besides, 爱好 can take a suffix 者，e.g. 戏曲爱好者、摄影爱好者、旅游爱好者，wherease the suffix is not applicable to any others in the group. 3. While 爱好 expresses one's general likes or interests, 嗜好 indicates a stronger or keener interest and implies an indulgences in something usually considered bad or harmful, for 嗜 indicates an addictive liking. On the other hand, like 嗜好， 癖好 also expresses an addictive liking, but it goes a step further in expressing an even keener and special liking for something. Different from 嗜好, however, 癖好usually applies to things or hobbies good or generally appreciated by people. 这儿没有我喜欢的书； 他平时爱好下棋，周末才出去看看电影； 我妹妹唯一的爱好就是弹钢琴； 不少男人都有抽烟和喝酒的不良嗜好； 他除了赌博外，没有别的不良嗜好； 他喜欢喝茶，但是有一个癖好：一定要用井水泡茶； 我父亲有一个搜集旧书的癖好，他几乎每个星期都回去旧书店看看。 Exercise 1. 人有各种各样的（ ），读书就是其中之一； 2. 我们的民族是一个（ ）和平的民族； 3. 我很（ ）跟他们一起讨论问题； 4. 你可不能再喝酒了，一定要改改这个（ ） 5.王羲之有一个画鹅的（ ）。不管哪儿有好鹅，他都有兴趣去看看。（王羲之 is the name of a famous painter in ancient china） All the materials are from the book named "Common chinese synonyms discriminated" by Hongchu Fu.
