- roar
A roar is a loud, deep, often sudden burst of sound - typically anger, excitement or a command - unlike howl's drawn-out, high-pitched wail.
roar指响亮、低沉、常常突然爆发的声音——多用于愤怒、兴奋或下达命令，不同于howl那种拖长、尖细的哀号声。
The coach roared instructions from the sideline during the match.
比赛中，教练在场边大声吼出指令。
- howl 本词
A howl is a long, high-pitched, wailing cry - used for pain, protest or grief - lacking the loud, deep burst quality of a roar.
howl指拖长、尖细、带哀号意味的叫声——常用于表达痛苦、抗议或悲伤，不具备roar那种响亮低沉的爆发感。
The toddler howled in protest when her toy was taken away.
小孩的玩具被拿走时，他放声哭喊抗议。
Roar and howl both mean to cry out loudly, but differ. A roar is a loud, deep, often sudden burst of sound, showing anger, excitement, or a command. A howl is a long, high-pitched, wailing cry, used for pain, protest, or grief.
roar和howl在这个义项上都表示大声发出声音，但roar是响亮、低沉、突然爆发的喊声，howl则是拖长、尖细、带哀号意味的叫声，语气和使用场合都不同。这里不比较roar指引擎、雷声等非人声的轰鸣，也不比较howl表示因大笑而放声长笑的用法。
