Synonyms & Differences 近义词辨析

Compared meaning: losing one's balance and nearly falling (noun).

比较义项:绊倒(名词)。

  • trip 本词

    As a noun this sense is uncommon and mainly appears in the fixed phrase 'trip and fall,' implying the foot caught on an obstacle rather than general unsteadiness.

    作为名词,这个意义并不常用,主要出现在固定说法“trip and fall”(绊倒摔跤)中,强调脚被物体绊住,而不是泛指身体不稳。

    He sued the mall after a trip and fall near the escalator left him badly bruised.

    在扶梯附近的一次绊倒摔跤让他伤痕累累,他因此把商场告上了法庭。

  • stumble

    A common, everyday noun for any loss of balance or unsteady staggering, not limited to catching your foot on something — it can come from tiredness, illness, or drink.

    这是一个常用词,泛指任何失去平衡或摇摇晃晃的状态,不局限于脚被绊住,也可能是因为疲惫、生病或喝醉了。

    After days without sleep, his stumble in the hallway had nothing to do with the rug.

    他好几天没睡觉了,走廊里那一下踉跄跟地毯根本没关系。

Trip and stumble both can mean losing your balance. Trip is uncommon, mainly in 'trip and fall', meaning your foot caught on something. Stumble is common, for any unsteady loss of balance, from tiredness, illness, or drink. Trip's common meaning, a journey, is not compared.

这两个词在“绊倒”这个意义上很接近,但语气和常见搭配不同:trip 通常指脚被绊住而瞬间失去平衡,作名词时较少单独使用,多见于“trip and fall”(绊倒摔跤)这样的固定说法;stumble 则更常用,泛指失去平衡、踉跄,不一定是脚被绊住,也可能因疲惫、生病或喝醉而发生。这里不比较 trip 更常见的“旅行”义。
