比较义项：投掷（动词）。

• throw

  The general, neutral word for sending something through the air with the hand or arm; a single toss, with no implication of repetition or hostility.

  最普通、中性的“投掷”一词，指用手或手臂把东西扔出去；可以只是一次动作，不含重复或带有敌意的意味。

  Can you throw the ball to me, please?

  你能把球扔给我吗？

• pelt 本词

  Means to throw things at someone or something repeatedly, usually several objects one after another, often with an aggressive or harassing tone.

  指反复、连续地朝某人或某物投掷东西，通常是一件接一件地扔，常带有攻击性或骚扰的意味。

  Children began to pelt the wall with snowballs during recess.

  课间休息时，孩子们开始朝墙上连续投掷雪球。

Throw and pelt both mean sending something through the air with your arm, but they differ. Throw is the general, neutral word for a single toss. Pelt means throwing things at someone repeatedly, often in an aggressive or harassing way.

这两个词都表示用手臂把东西扔出去，但语气和使用场合不同：throw 是最普通、中性的“投掷”动作，可以只发生一次；pelt 则强调连续、多次地投掷东西攻击某个目标，带有骚扰或攻击的意味，常用于“pelt someone/something with sth”的结构。

Compared meaning: the skin or fur of an animal (noun).

比较义项：动物（或人）身体表面的皮／兽皮（名词）。

• hide

  Hide refers to the thick, tough skin of a large animal such as cattle or elephants, usually thought of as raw material for leather; it is almost never used for a person's skin.

  hide 指大型动物（如牛、大象）厚而坚韧的皮，通常被视为制革的原料；几乎不用来指人的皮肤。

  The tannery turns thick cow hides into sturdy leather boots.

  制革厂把厚厚的牛皮加工成结实的皮靴。

• skin

  Skin is the general, neutral word for the outer covering of any person's or animal's body, whether alive or as material; it has no special link to fur or leather-making.

  skin 是泛指人或动物身体表层的中性词，既可指活体的皮肤，也可指作为材料的皮，和毛皮或制革没有特别的联系。

  A snake sheds its old skin several times a year.

  蛇每年要蜕好几次皮。

• pelt 本词

  Pelt is an animal's skin still covered in fur, especially from small game like rabbits or foxes; it evokes hunting, trapping or the fur trade, not leather-making.

  pelt 指仍带着毛的动物皮，尤指兔子、狐狸等小型猎物的皮，让人联想到狩猎、诱捕或毛皮贸易，而非制革。

  The trapper sold a soft fox pelt to the fur trader.

  捕猎者把一张柔软的狐狸毛皮卖给了毛皮商人。

Hide, skin and pelt all can mean an animal's skin, but they differ. Hide is thick skin used for leather. Skin is the general, neutral word for a body's outer covering. Pelt is skin covered in fur. Hide can mean 'conceal'; pelt can mean 'throw'.

这三个词都可以指某种“皮”，但侧重不同：skin 是最普通、中性的说法，hide 强调厚而坚韧、可制革的兽皮，pelt 强调带毛的兽皮，常与狩猎、皮草贸易相关。注意：hide 另有动词义“躲藏”，pelt 另有动词义“（用雪球等）投掷”，这里均不作比较。
