tilt

Compared meaning: to make something lean (verb).

比较义项：倾斜／使倾斜（动词）。

• tip

  Tip suggests causing something to lean or turn over, often accidentally and to the point of spilling or overturning; it can be used with or without an object.

  tip 强调使物体倾斜甚至翻倒，常带有意外、洒出或倒下的意味；它既可以带宾语，也可以不带宾语使用。

  He accidentally tipped the vase, and water spilled across the table.

  他不小心把花瓶弄翻了，水洒了一桌子。

• angle

  Angle implies deliberately turning or positioning something to point it in a particular direction, especially for aiming, viewing or framing, rather than simply making it lean.

  angle 强调有意地转动或摆放物体，使其指向某个特定方向，常用于瞄准、观察或取景，而不只是单纯地使其倾斜。

  She angled the camera to capture the sunset over the hills.

  她将相机转到合适的角度，好拍下山丘上方的日落。

• tilt 本词

  Tilt describes moving something into a sloping position in a controlled, often partial way, without the strong sense of overturning found in tip or the aiming purpose found in angle.

  tilt 描述以可控、常常是部分幅度的方式使物体呈倾斜状态，没有 tip 那种翻倒的强烈意味，也没有 angle 那种瞄准取景的目的性。

  The phone screen tilts automatically when you rotate the device.

  转动设备时，手机屏幕会自动倾斜。

Tip, angle and tilt all mean to make something lean. Tip suggests leaning or spilling something. Angle means pointing something, for aiming or viewing. Tilt means moving something into a sloping position. Tip as 'a payment' and angle as a noun are not compared.

这三个词都可表示使物体倾斜或呈一定角度，但语气和用法各有侧重：tip 强调倾斜甚至翻倒、洒出的动作，tilt 强调以可控方式使物体处于倾斜状态，angle 则强调为了瞄准或调整视角而刻意摆出某个角度。这里不比较 tip 的“小费”或“尖端”义，也不比较 angle 的“角度”这一名词义。

Compared meaning: a leaning or sloping position (noun).

比较义项：倾斜（名词）。

• lean

  Refers to a body or object resting at an angle against something, often implying support or contact; commonly used with 'against' or 'on'.

  指身体或物体以一定角度倚靠在某物上，常暗示有支撑或接触；常与介词 against 或 on 搭配使用。

  He likes to lean against the wall while waiting.

  他喜欢等待时倚靠在墙上。

• tilt 本词

  Refers to a change in angle or a sloped position, often momentary or adjustable, without implying contact with a support; used for heads, objects, or surfaces.

  指角度的改变或倾斜的位置，常是暂时性或可调整的，不暗示有支撑物接触；可用于头部、物体或表面。

  She had to tilt her head to see the sign clearly.

  她不得不歪头才能看清那个标志。

Lean and tilt both describe an object away from vertical or horizontal. Lean stresses a body or object resting against something, often with 'against' or 'on'. Tilt stresses a change in angle, without implying support. This does not compare lean meaning 'to tend toward'.

两者都指物体偏离垂直或水平位置的状态，但 lean 强调整体身体或物体倚靠、依偎的姿态，常带方向性（靠向某物）；tilt 强调角度上的倾斜或偏转，不一定有依靠的对象。这里不比较 lean 的其他引申义（如“倾向于”）。
