词义辨析
请问prove和verify这两个词可以互换通用吗?另外求corroborate这个词的词义和用法.

Answer 1

同义词辨析最好通过其英语本意加以区分.
prove,英语含义“to establish or demonstrate the truth or validity of; verify,especially by using an established sequence of procedures or statements”,汉语含义“证明,证实（vt）,证明是(vi)”
verify英语含义“Verify:to prove to be true; confirm,substantiate [to establish as valid or genuine] ”,汉语含义是“证实,核实；查对,核准；验证,校验”
不难看出,prove表示的是建立或证明事实或有效性,客观存在的事物,尤其是在建立系列程序或程序事项时使用；而verify表示的是经验证或检验是正确的、经过进一步证实的事情.
需要你进一步自己揣摩一下.实际上也可以在具体的实例中去记二者的区别.
She also notes that employers can verify this information,so it's critical to tell the truth.
她还注意到雇主可能会去核实这一信息,所以实话实说是很重要的.
The existing data,however,do not prove this.但是就现有的数据,还不能证明这些.
corroborate vt.证实；使坚固
有相互印证的含义,比如It appeared that what he said went to corroborate my account.看来他所说的和我叙述的相符.
Getting those who lived the experience to talk,coupled with sleuth-like research to corroborate everything,was the only way to make this story really come alive.
要想生动地讲述这个故事,那唯一的办法就是和当年的人交谈,像侦探一样做调查.
