Damage 是指“损害,破坏”,但不是特别严重,还可以修复的那种,比如:
Apart from hydropower projects, the earthquake damaged some power equipment manufacturers in Sichuan including Dongfang Electric in Hanwang in Deyang that was badly damaged when several buildings collapsed, causing several hundred deaths.
除了水电站,地震还破坏了四川的一些供电设施工厂,德阳的东方电气受损严重,几栋建筑物倒塌,数百人死亡。
Destroy 表示“完全破坏,消灭,摧毁,夺去人的生命”,被摧毁的物件不能再用。比如:
Disasters, such as the quake, that destroy lives somehow create a renewed sense of selfless compassion.
像地震这样的灾害,夺去人的生命,也激发出人们的无私情感。
Devastate 也是表示“摧毁,破坏”,它比destroy的威力还要大、涵盖的面还要广,destroy 通常限定于某一地、某事物或是人,而devastate 还可表示“情感上,精神上也遭破坏,整个系统的完全溃败”,比如:
She was devastated by the loss of her mother.
母亲的死击垮了她。
地震可以destroy我们,但不能devastate我们。
Shatter 指“粉碎,砸碎,毁坏,毁灭”,比如在地震中那些破碎的玻璃和房屋:
