意即“用几句锋利的评语推翻某种理论”。
而raze几乎无一例外地用于指建筑物的被毁。
annihilate在这些词中所表示的损坏程度最为强烈,字面意思是“化为乌有”,但实际上往往用于指对人或物的严重损伤。
如说annihilateanenemyforce,是指使敌军遭到重创,不仅没有还手之力。
而且没有招架之功。
如说annihilateone’sopponentinadebate,是指彻底驳倒对手。

如:

spoil用于非正式文体,常指食物变质。
如:

(鱼在夏天极易变质。
)molder用于指物体缓慢、逐步地腐朽。
如:
Oldbuildingsmolderaway.(老房子渐渐腐烂了。
)disintegrate意指把某物从整体变为碎片或一个个部分。
如:
