defend用法:

1.defend可用作不及物動詞,也可用作及物動詞,用作及物動詞時,按名詞、代詞或that從句作賓語。偶爾也可接雙賓語,可用于被動結構。

2.defend常與against連用表示“防守,捍衛”; 與from連用表示“保護…以防,使…免遭危害”。

詞義辨析:defend, guard, protect這組詞的共同意思是“保護”。其區別是：

defend指對迫在眉睫的危險或侵襲而采取武力或其他手段防御,也可指為某人辯護或捍衛原則的純潔性;

guard指小心翼翼地保持警惕,防止實際存在的或可能發生的危險,以確保人身安全;

protect指借用某種東西作為防御、保護的工具,使人或物免受傷害;
