Demanding is the strongest of these words and describes tasks and experiences. It is often used with more or most or an adverb such as physically, mentally or emotionally that says in what way the activity is difficult. Taxing is used especially in negative statements and to talk about problems or tasks that need (or do not need) mental effort. Testing describes experiences but not tasks and is used particularly with time, week or year. 这三个词中demanding语气最强，指任务或经历艰难，常与more、most或physically、mentally、emotionally等副词连用，表示某方面有困难。taxing尤用于否定陈述，表示问题或任务需要（或不需要）费脑筋。testing用于形容经历而非任务，尤与time、week或year连用。 |
