squeeze

Compared meaning: apply force to something with your hand (verb).

比较义项：用手对物体施力（推动、按压或挤压）（动词）。

• push

  Push means applying force to move something away from you or in a direction, causing displacement; it does not necessarily imply the object is compressed or held still.

  push（推）指用力使物体朝某个方向移动，强调使物体产生位移，并不一定压缩或固定住物体。

  He had to push the heavy door open.

  他不得不用力推开那扇沉重的门。

• press

  Press means applying steady force against a surface, often to activate, flatten, or hold something in place, without necessarily moving it away.

  press（按，压）指对某个表面持续施力，常用于启动、压平或固定物体，不一定使物体移开。

  Press the dough flat with your palm before rolling it out.

  用手掌把面团按平，然后再擀开。

• squeeze 本词

  Squeeze means applying pressure from multiple sides to compress something tightly, often to extract liquid or reduce its size, implying a firm grip.

  squeeze（挤压）指从多个方向对物体施力使其受压变形，常用于挤出液体或缩小体积，强调用力紧握。

  He squeezed the sponge until every drop of water was gone.

  他挤压海绵，把每一滴水都挤了出来。

Push, press, and squeeze all mean applying force by hand, but the goal differs: push moves something away, press holds it steady, and squeeze compresses it from several sides or forces out liquid. Press can also mean 'news media', not compared here.

push、press 和 squeeze 都表示用手对物体施力，但方向和目的不同：push 强调使物体移动位置，press 强调持续按压使物体保持接触或固定，squeeze 强调从多个方向用力将物体压紧或挤出内容物。这里不比较 press 作名词表示“新闻界／媒体”的用法（如the press gathered outside the building）。
