keptinacertainstateinruins:severelydamagedor

destroyedCompare:ruin;destroy;damage①damage指部分“損壞”、“損害”、“破壞”或指使用價值有所降低。它可以用作動詞,也可以用作名詞,用作名詞時常與tosomething連用。

Theaccidentdidalotofdamagetohiscar.②destroy只能用作動詞,指徹底破壞,以致不可能修復,常作“破壞”、“毀滅”解,也可以指希望、計劃等打破。

Theearthquakedestroyedalmostthewholetown.

③ruin則表示破壞嚴重,以致不能修復,但這種破壞不像destroy那樣毀滅某物,而是強調致使該物的使用價值發生了問題。用作動詞時,它作

“使毀滅”、

“使崩潰”、“弄糟”解;用作名詞時,它表示“毀滅”、“瓦解”、“廢墟”等抽象概念。ruin也有借喻的用法。
