v.动词
menace, threaten这组词的共同意思是“威胁,恐吓”。其区别是： threaten指如不服从将会有严重后果,以此相威胁,迫使别人干某事或不许别人干某事; menace多指用目光、行动或武器等对别人进行恐吓。 danger，risk，hazard，menace，peril，threat这些名词均含有“危险、威胁”之意。 danger含义广，普通用词，指能够造成伤害、损害或不利的任何情况。 risk指有可能发生的危险，尤指主动进行某种活动或去碰运气而冒的危险。 hazard比risk正式，多指偶然发生的或无法控制的危险，常含较严重或有一定风险的意味。 menace所指的危险性最严重，表示使用暴力或造成破坏性的可能。 peril指迫在眉睫很有可能发生的严重危险。 threat普通用词，语气弱于menace，指任何公开侵犯对方的言行，给对方构成危险或威胁。 threaten，menace这两个动词均有“威胁、恐吓”之意。 threaten侧重扬言要对不服从者给予惩罚，有时指某种情况所预示的恶兆。 menace系正式用词，着重以脸色或某种意志给以威胁，而不用语言明白表示出来。 古代人放牧、驱赶牲畜时比较粗暴简单，通常通过喊叫、威胁或鞭打的方式来驱赶牲畜，这种方式在拉丁语中叫做minare，进入法语后拼写为mener。英语单词menace威胁就来源于此，本意指的是驱赶牲畜时人所发出的叫喊声、威胁声，兼有“威胁”和“驱策”的含义。后来“驱策”的含义逐渐消失，仅仅表示“威胁、恐吓”，变成了threaten的同义词。
还有一个单词也来源于此，那就是amenable，由a=to，面对+mener驱赶、领导+able能够，字面意思就是“能够面对领导”，引申为“顺从的、易于管教、易于屈服、容易被说服的”，还可以表示“负有责任的、经得起检验的”。要注意这个词与amend改善并没有关系。
