contract的詳細講解：

詞語用法

v. (動詞)

contract作“訂契約”解時,指雙方為共同利益所吸引。用作及物動詞時可接名詞或動詞不定式作賓語; 用作不及物動詞接for可表示“承包”“錄入”; 接in可表示“承諾加入”; 接with可表示“與…訂合約”。
contract作“縮小”解時,指由于內部的力量,使物體的范圍和結構收縮集中,多用作不及物動詞,引申可表示縮寫,這時常接介詞to。也可用作及物動詞接名詞或代詞作賓語。
contract用作不及物動詞時,可表示“訂合同,訂約”,后面常接介詞with; 與介詞for連用表示原因或目的。
contract作“感染疾病”或“染上惡習”解時是及物動詞，接名詞或代詞作賓語。

contract指“合同”時，不能與動詞pay搭配，因合同不能支付人任何東西，只是承諾支付，可用assign與其搭配。

詞義辨析

v. (動詞)

contract, abbreviate, abridge, condense, shorten: 這組詞用于字詞、段落、章節等時,都含有“刪減”或“精簡”的意思。它們的區別在于:

1.abridge, condense和shorten都可指壓縮文章、著作的篇幅而內容不變, abridge比shorten更文雅; abbreviate主要用于刪除音節、字母或單詞而保留詞頭; contract通常指省略單詞的中間部分,不包括只保留詞頭的詞。

2.表示“縮略成…”時, abbreviate, condense, contract和shorten常與介詞to搭配; condense也常與介詞into搭配。

contract, compress, condense, shrink: 這組詞都可表示“壓縮”。condense指用一定的方法使物體聚縮得更緊密、結實或更濃厚、稠密,或減去不必要的部分使其體積變小,但不失去基本內容; compress指通過壓〔擠,弄平〕等方式使物體變小或具有一定形狀; contract指一物體由于某種原因或使用某種方法而使其體積由大變小或由長變短; shrink指長度、范圍、容積等的收縮或變小。

contract, covenant, engage, pledge, promise: 這組詞都有“允諾”的意思。其區別是：

promise指作出口頭或書面的許諾,但僅指主觀意愿,并不暗示一定能實現或有實現的基礎; engage指在正式或重大場合用誓言、條約等許下有約束力的諾言或作出可以信賴的保證,尤指訂婚; pledge指用行動或言語作出莊嚴的許諾或正式保證; covenant指訂立雙方或多方共同遵守的協議; contract指訂立慎重并且通常有法律效力的合同或協議。例如:

Our son is engaged to a nice young girl.我們的兒子已跟一位漂亮的女孩訂了婚。

I covenant to pay 5000 pounds a year to help rebuild the college.我立約保證每年將付5000英鎊幫助重建學院。

They have pledged that any detail given to them will remain confidential.他們已保證,給他們提供的任何細節將予以保密。

Many councils are contracting out services such as rubbish collection to private companies as a way of cutting costs.許多市政會把垃圾收集這樣的服務項目包給私人公司以減少費用。

n. (名詞)

contract, agreement, pact, treaty: 這組詞都可指“協定”。pact用來指國家、團體或個人之間的“協定”

treaty指在外交談判后按國際公法簽署的正式條約,在重要性和約束力上都比pact強; agreement泛指人與人之間、團體或國家之間達成的任何“合同,協定”,包括正式的或非正式的、書面的或口頭上的; contract通常用于雙方或多方訂立的“契約”,為正式的,有法定效力。

agreement，contract，treaty，convention，bargain，understanding，accord: 這些名詞均含“協定，協議，契約，合同”之意。

agreement普通用詞，含義最確定，泛指個人、團體或國家之間取得一致而達成的任何協議、協定或合同、契約等，可以是口頭的，也可以是書面的。

contract側重指雙方或多方訂立的具有法律效力的正式的書面合同或契約。

treaty指國家之間經外交談判后依照國際法簽訂的正式條約。

convention比treaty更專門化，但不及treaty正式。也可指國家之間就有關事情簽訂的條約。

bargain通常指商業交往中的購銷合同。

understanding指不具約束力的非正式的協議。

accord多指國際間的非正式協議。

condense，compress，contract，shrink: 這些動詞均含“收縮，壓縮”之意。

condense指將東西壓縮得更緊密、緊湊，但不失去原有的內容。

compress指把亂而不成形的東西壓成一定形狀。

contract主要指以內、外部力量進行緊縮，也可用作引申。

shrink側重指因收縮而達不到原有的長度、體積或容積。
