Synonyms & Differences 近义词辨析

Compared meaning: to take something away (verb).

比较义项:把某物拿走/取回(动词)。

  • remove 本词

    A general, neutral word for physically taking something away from a place; used for everyday objects like clothes, dirt, or obstacles, without implying the item is being returned to anyone.

    一个较为通用、中性的词,指把某物从某处physically拿走;常用于衣物、污渍、障碍物等日常物品,不含“归还给谁”的意思。

    Please remove your shoes before entering the house.

    进屋前请把鞋子脱下来。

  • withdraw

    Implies taking back something that was previously placed, deposited, or given, especially money from a bank account; more formal, and also used for withdrawing statements, offers, or troops.

    含有“取回先前存放或给出之物”的意思,尤指从银行账户取钱;语气更正式,也可用于撤回声明、撤销提议或撤军。

    She decided to withdraw money from the bank machine.

    她决定去自动取款机取钱。

Both mean to take something away, but differ. Remove is general and neutral, used for everyday objects, without implying it goes back to anyone. Withdraw means taking back something previously given or deposited, especially money from a bank; formal, also used for statements or troops.

这两个词都表示“把某物拿走”,但remove泛指把物体从原来的位置移开或除去,多用于日常物品;withdraw特指把已经存放或给出的东西取回,尤指从银行账户取钱,语气更正式,也常用于撤回声明、撤销申请等。这里不比较withdraw的“撤退,退出”义,也不比较remove的“撤职,免去职务”义。
