debate 指正式场合的辩论或公开讨论,结构更严谨 The candidates debated economic policies on TV.

 

注意事项

拼写差异:美式英语中常用 quarreling,英式英语多用 quarrelling

语境提示:与 argue 相比,quarrel 更强调“争吵的激烈程度”和“关系的紧张性”,而非理性讨论。

无论是家庭矛盾还是日常冲突,quarrelling 都聚焦于“情绪化的口头争执”。若想表达“理性辩论”或“抽象矛盾”,可根据场景选择 arguedebate 等近义词。你是否曾因误解与他人发生过 quarrel?事后又是如何 patch up the quarrel 的呢?
