同近义词辨析

这组词都有“孤单的，寂寞的”的意思，其区别是：

solitary可指因被遗忘或遗弃而产生的孤独感，也可指人的生性孤僻。

desolate语气强烈，强调遭受损失和失去亲人所带来的难以忍受的痛苦。

lone较文雅，可与lonely换用。

alone普通用词，指独自一人的状态，有时含孤寂之意。

lonely强调孤独感，含“渴望和他人在一起”的意味。

solitary独居的，独自的

desolate指某地无人烟的，荒凉的

lonely 偏重一种主观感受上的“寂寞” lonely和solitary可用以形容很少有人到的偏僻地方。

alone和solitary都用以形容一人或一事物与他人或他事物相分离，二者形容的人可能是其本人愿意如此，这两个词并无不愉快的含义。

lonesome 孤独的 lonely和lonesome指并非本人愿意如此，含有不愉快之意。
