問題詳情

       The study of connotation sharpens our realization that no two words in the English language meanexactly the same thing. 38 , no two words are exactly synonymous when we come to the point ofactually using them. Sometimes two words will seem so nearly 39 in meaning that we think they areinterchangeable. We might find it hard to state their differences in meaning; 40 , we find that theywill not serve equally well in every context. Nuances, or 41 of meaning which have gathered aboutthem as a result of their special history or their associations, will inevitably give them differentcapabilities. Such nuances, we now recognize, constitute their connotations. It is these differentconnotations of synonymous words which prevent them from being completely interchangeable. There is,42 , a theoretically best word for every situation, and the skill of a writer is shown by how closehe/she comes to this best one in his/her search for the suitable word.
