v.动词
swallow, consume, devour, eat, ingest这几个词的共同意思是“吃”。其区别在于:eat最常用,指放入口中经过咀嚼再吞咽下去的过程,对人或物都适用,引申指缓慢地逐渐腐蚀或消磨过程; consume指吃完全部食物或喝光所有饮料,引申指消耗光所有的物质、金钱等; devour强调狼吞虎咽地吃,引申指吞灭或毁灭; ingest是生理学用语,指咽下或吸收的过程; swallow指不经过充分咀嚼就囫囵吞入肚中,强调匆忙。例如: The termites have eaten deep into the wood.白蚁已经把木头蛀得很深了。
The fire soon consumed the wooden building.大火不久就烧毁了这座木头建筑物。

v.动词
swallow的基本意思是“咽下”,指“吃”这个过程的第二阶段——“咽”。即将口中食物通过咽喉直入食道。有时可指“快吃”,而不是把食物慢慢嚼碎。引申为“忍受”“不流露”。还可表示“吞没”“掩盖”“抓住”。 swallow在作“忍受”“抑制情感”解时,多指某人虽受痛苦与困难,但以某方式接受了令人烦恼、令人无法忍受的痛苦与经历。 swallow可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词。用作及物动词时,接名词、代词作宾语。可用于被动结构。
