近义词辨析
bother， disturb， trouble， worry
这组词均含有“不停地烦扰他人或搞得某人心神不宁”的意思。
bother 和disturb常用于主动和被动两种形式中。用于被动时，bother指常受到时有时无的小事的烦扰。用于主动时，bother的意思比disturb强，带有故意打扰他人的意思。

我就不打扰你了。
disturb用于被动形式时，意思比bother强烈，有时甚至可指精神错乱。用在主动形式时，意思最弱，指某人无意中打扰他人，这种打扰行为并非存心冲着他人去的。The man was mentally disturbed.这个人精神错乱了。
trouble和worry主要用于被动，指被某事搞得心神不宁。
trouble比worry稍正式些，指麻烦别人一件事而影响他人舒适、方便、效率、健康或心境的平静等。
May I trouble you for the book？麻烦您把书递给我好吗？
worry
主要指因对某事的结果没有把握而焦虑不安，还可指某人沉浸在软弱无助的情绪或思虑中。
