Compared meaning: to fasten something firmly (verb).
比较义项：钉牢，固定（动词）。
- nail
Nail means to fasten something by driving a metal nail into it with a hammer, typically wood or a wall; it is the standard word for carpentry and hanging things up.
nail指用锤子把金属钉子钉入材料（通常是木头或墙壁）来固定东西，是木工和把东西钉到墙上时常用的说法。
He nailed the loose plank back onto the wooden fence.
他把松动的木板重新钉回了木栅栏上。
- peg 本词
Peg means to fasten something with a small peg pushed or driven into the ground or another surface, as with a tent; it can also mean to fix a price or rate at a set level.
peg指用小钉状物（如地钉）把东西固定在地面或其他表面上，比如固定帐篷；也可以指把价格或汇率固定在某一水平。
They pegged the tent down firmly before the wind picked up.
起风之前，他们把帐篷牢牢地钉在了地上。
Nail and peg both mean to fasten something firmly. Nail means driving a metal nail with a hammer, mainly for wood. Peg means fastening with a small peg pushed into the ground, and can also mean to fix a price or rate.
这两个词都表示“用钉状物把东西固定住”，但nail强调用锤子把金属钉子钉入材料（多用于木工），而peg强调用小钉状物（如地钉、木钉）别住或钉住，也可比喻性地表示“将价格或汇率固定在某一水平”。这里不比较nail的“精准做对某事”等引申义，也不比较peg作为名词“衣夹、地钉”的用法。
