WH丨CH
WORD?词语辨析
distrust ♦ mistrust
There is very little difference
between these two words, but distrust is more common and perhaps slightly stronger. If you are sure that
someone is acting dishonestly or cannot be relied on, you are more likely tb
say that you distrust them. If you are expressing doubts and suspicions, on the other hand,
you would probably use m丨strust.这两个词意义差别很小，但
distrust更通用，或许语气稍强。确信某人不诚实或不
岢信较t用distrust，而表示猜疑、疑虑、不信任则大
概要用mistrust。
