二、詞義辨析:
announce,declare,proclaim,pronounce,advertise,broadcast,publish
這些動詞均含“宣佈,公開”之意。announce多指首次宣佈大家感興趣或可滿足大家好奇心的事情。 declare側重正式就某事清楚明白地宣佈。proclaim指官方宣佈重大事件或施政方針,語體比announce正式。pronounce詞義與announce,declare接近,但較多用於指法律判決方面的宣佈。advertise指通過文字和圖像資料等的反覆宣傳而引起公眾的注意,有時隱含令人不快或言過其實的意味。broadcast專指利用廣播或電視傳播消息或發表見解。publish專指通過報刊或其它媒介向公眾公佈事情。
