二、詞義辨析：
blame,accuse,condemn,scold,denounce,reproach,rebuke
這些動詞均含有“責備，非難”之意。blame普通用詞，語氣較弱，僅是一般的責難、歸咎於，不含用語言責罵之意。accuse語氣比blame強，本義爲歸罪，可用作指非難或譴責之義。condemn正式用詞，表示譴責，有較強的司法意味，側重從道義或原則上的譴責。scold普通用詞，多指上級對下級、長輩對後輩或僱主對僱員的態度粗暴、言詞激烈的數落。denounce與condemn同義，但着重公開性。reproach側重指因他人粗心、自私等引起不滿而去指責、找岔。rebuke多指上級對下級進行的公開、強烈、嚴正而不寬容的責備。隱含一定權威的意味。
