Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death Patrick Henry 615 By Solace console Console suggests the attempt to make up for a loss by offering something in its place ,as well as the effort of one person to mitigate the serious grief felt by another . Solace might sound more precious than comfort and it suggests a tender intensity of fellow-feeling . solace 是很文雅的字,用来代替直率的comfort,可能稍嫌造作，可表示亲切深厚的同情，后面的宾语可以使是表示麻烦、忧伤等的抽象名词，也可以是表示人的具体名词或代词，如： solace their sadness. 抚平他们的悲伤。（宾语是抽象名词） solace oneself with whisky. 那忧伤的人以威士忌酒浇愁。 （宾语是反身代词） solace him with a hot cup of coffee. 用一杯热咖啡安慰他。（宾语是表示人的代词） Console指一个人为减轻另一个人所感受的严重悲痛而作的努力。这字可能特别指设法提供代替的东西来补偿损失。例如：They tried to console him for losing the prize by taking him to a theatre（他未能得奖，他们为要安慰他，就带他去看戏）.这种补偿可能是损失者自己心里的想法。例如：She was consoled to think that she at least had an understanding husband to turn to（她因想到自己至少有个很体贴的丈夫可以依靠而感到安慰） Petition Plead Both words refer to a humble ,deferential ,urgent , or formal request for help .
