v.动词
confine, limit这组词都有“使…局限于”的意思。它们之间的区别是: 1.confine意味着不能超出一定的范围或限制。 2.limit除了具有confine上述的意思之外,还有“预先定下标准、界限,不许越过,不然将受惩罚或遭受不利”的意思。 3.confine的过去分词confined表示“受禁闭”; limit的过去分词limited表示“很有限”“贫乏”。
n.名词
confine, bound, limit参见confine条。 confine，imprison，jail这些动词均含“监禁”之意。 confine指监禁或幽禁；也指任何使行动受到限制的行为。 imprison较正式用词，多指较长时间的监禁。 jail英国用gaol多指审判之间的拘禁或对罪行较轻的罪犯的监禁。 limit，confine，restrict这些动词均有“限制，限定”之意。 limit一般指事先确定空间、时间或数量的极限，一旦超越限度，就会造成不良结果。当然也可指不事先规定，而且自然的或固有的界限。 confine侧重施加不可逾越的限制，有时暗示束缚、囚禁。 restrict指把某人或物限制在一定范围之内。
