单词 | faze |
例句 | faze verb •the storm doesn't seem to faze your dog:disconcert, perturb, disturb, unnerve, unsettle, daunt, disorientate, put off, throw (off), rattle.USAGE faze, phase Faze = disconcert; daunt. Phase (verb) = carry out (a plan, program, etc.) in stages. Phase for faze is an increasingly common blunder—e.g.: “Others said they had weathered so many rumors that nothing phased [read fazed ] them anymore.” ( Boston Globe; June 6, 1995.) The opposite error ( faze for phase) also occurs, but more rarely—e.g.: “All that while shooting guard Art Mlotkowski, shadowed all over the court by Northport senior Rob Sanicola, was fazed [read phased ] out of the offense.” ( Newsday [New York]; Feb. 26, 1995.).Usage notes show additional guidance on finer points of English usage. |
