regard

Compared meaning: to consider or judge something as (verb).

比较义项：把……视为、认为（动词，常接 as）。

• view

  Mainly used for opinions or judgments about situations, plans or issues, often in analytical or formal contexts; rarely combined with 'highly' the way regard is.

  主要用于对局势、计划或问题的看法和判断，常见于分析性或正式语境，很少像 regard 那样与“highly”搭配使用。

  Analysts view the tax cut as unlikely to boost growth much.

  分析人士认为这项减税措施不太可能大幅促进经济增长。

• regard 本词

  Often expresses esteem or reputation, especially in the fixed phrase 'highly/widely regarded', typically describing people or their achievements; slightly more formal than view.

  常用于表达敬重或名声，尤其常见于“highly regarded / widely regarded”这类固定搭配，通常用来描述人或其成就，语气比 view 略正式。

  He is highly regarded as one of the finest surgeons in the country.

  他被高度评价为全国最优秀的外科医生之一。

Regard and view both mean to judge something as a certain way, using 'as'. Regard often shows respect for people, as in 'highly regarded'. View is neutral and formal, for judging situations or policies. Not compared: view as 'scenery', regard as 'respect'.

这两个词在“认为，视为”这一义项上意思相近，常用于“…as…”结构表达看法或判断，但语气和场合略有不同：regard 更常用于表达对人或其成就的敬重，尤其常见于“highly regarded”这类固定搭配；view 更常用于对局势、政策等进行分析性评价，语气比较中性、正式。这里不比较 view 的名词义“景色，视野”（例如从山上眺望城市的景色），也不比较 regard 可能带有的“尊重”这一名词义。

Compared meaning: attention or consideration given to something (noun).

比较义项：关注、留意（名词，指对某事给予的注意或重视）。

• regard 本词

  Regard denotes attention or consideration given to something, often rules, safety or feelings; it appears in phrases like 'have regard for' or 'with regard to' and sounds fairly formal and neutral.

  regard 指对某事（常指规则、安全或感受）给予的关注或考虑；常出现在“have regard for”或“with regard to”等短语中，语气较为正式、中性。

  Drivers should proceed with regard for pedestrians crossing the street.

  司机应该顾及正在过马路的行人。

• heed

  Heed means careful attention paid to a warning or piece of advice; it is used almost exclusively in the fixed phrases 'pay heed to' or 'take heed of', giving it a more old-fashioned, cautionary tone.

  heed 指对警告或建议给予的谨慎留意；几乎只用于“pay heed to”或“take heed of”这类固定搭配，语气偏古雅、带有告诫意味。

  She finally took heed of her mother's warning about the icy road.

  她终于留意到了母亲关于结冰路面的警告。

Regard and heed both mean attention to something. Regard is formal and neutral, common in 'with regard to', often about rules or feelings. Heed means careful attention to a warning, almost always in 'pay heed to' or 'take heed of'. Not compared: regard meaning 'respect'.

这两个词作名词时都表示对某事的“关注、留意”，但语气和搭配不同：regard 语气较正式中性，常用于 with regard for / with regard to 等短语，多指对规则、安全或他人感受的考虑；heed 更强调对警告或建议的谨慎留心，几乎只用于 pay heed to / take heed of 这类固定搭配，语体偏古雅、带告诫意味。这里不比较 regard 表示“尊重、敬意”（如 hold someone in high regard）或作动词表示“认为、看待”的义项。

Compared meaning: admiration for someone (noun).

比较义项：尊敬、敬重（对某人的钦佩之情）（名词）。

• respect

  The most common, neutral word for admiration; used freely in everyday speech and writing, in phrases like 'show/gain/lose respect', with no need for extra intensifiers.

  最常见、语域中性的词，日常口语和书面语都常用，可用于「show/gain/lose respect」等短语，不需要额外的程度修饰词。

• regard 本词

  A more formal, slightly detached word, usually paired with a degree adjective such as 'high' or 'great' in 'regard for'; common in professional or written contexts.

  语气更正式、略显客观疏离，通常与high、great等程度形容词搭配构成「regard for」，常见于正式或书面场合。

  He holds his old professor in high regard for her groundbreaking research.

  他非常敬重他的老教授在开创性研究方面的贡献。

• esteem

  The most formal and literary word, implying especially strong admiration; almost always appears as 'high esteem' or 'hold someone in esteem', rarely used in casual speech.

  最正式、书面语色彩最浓的词，暗示敬重程度特别强烈，几乎总是以「high esteem」或「hold someone in esteem」的形式出现，口语中较少使用。

  The scientist is held in high esteem by her colleagues for her contributions to medicine.

  这位科学家因其在医学方面的贡献而受到同事们的高度敬重。

Respect, regard and esteem all mean admiration for someone, but formality differs. Respect is common and neutral, used in speech and writing. Regard is more formal, often paired with 'high' or 'great'. Esteem is most formal, almost always 'high esteem'.

这三个词在此义项下都表示对某人的钦佩或敬重之情，但正式程度和习惯搭配有所不同：esteem语气最正式、程度最强，常与high esteem搭配；regard也偏正式，常与表示程度的形容词连用；respect最常用、语域最中性，口语和书面语中都适用。这里不比较respect作动词表示「遵守，遵从」（如respect the rules）及作名词表示「方面」（in this respect）的用法，也不比较regard作动词「把……看作」（regard...as）及复数regards表示「问候」的用法。
