- steal 本词
Emphasizes deliberate, cautious secrecy, often in literary or dramatic contexts (e.g. steal away, steal across); can suggest guilt or special care not to be seen.
强调刻意而谨慎的隐秘动作，常见于较文学化、戏剧化的语境（如steal away、steal across），可能带有一丝愧疚感或格外小心不被发现的意味。

他没有跟任何人道别，就悄悄溜出了聚会。
- slip
Emphasizes quiet, smooth, effortless movement; the everyday, neutral choice for leaving or passing unnoticed, without steal's literary or guilty overtone.
强调安静、顺畅、毫不费力的动作，是日常、中性地表示"悄悄溜走/溜过"的常用词，不像steal那样带有文学化或愧疚的意味。

我还没来得及阻止，狗就从栅栏的缝隙中溜了出去。
Steal and slip both mean to move away quietly, unnoticed. Steal suggests careful, deliberate secrecy and sounds literary, as in 'steal away'. Slip suggests light, natural movement and is the everyday choice. Steal's meaning 'to take' and slip's meaning 'to lose footing' are not compared.
这两个词在"悄悄溜走"这一义项上意思相近，容易混淆：steal强调刻意、谨慎地隐秘行动，语气偏文学化；slip则强调动作轻巧自然，是日常更常用的说法。这里不比较steal"偷窃"（拿走不属于自己的东西）的义项，也不比较slip"滑倒"（在湿滑表面上失去平衡）的义项。
