Crowd is a much more frequent and general word than throng. Throng is used especially in descriptive writing to suggest lots of people crowding together in a busy or excited way. A throng attracts people who want to join in or find out what is going on. You might want to avoid/get away from the crowds but you would not usually 'avoid/get away from the throng'. At a sports game you talk about the crowd, not the throng. * crowd远较throng常用、宽泛。throng尤用于描写性文字中，有热闹忙乱之意，会使人想加入进来或一睹究竟。可以说avoid/get away from the crowds，但一般不说avoid/get away from the throng。指观看体育比赛的观众用crowd，不用throng。■ drove /drəʊv; NAmE droʊv/ [countable, usually plural] a large number of people or animals, often moving or doing sth as a group （移动的）人群，畜群◆People are leaving the countryside in droves to look for work in the cities.一批一批的人离开农村到城里找工作。■ crush [countable, usually singular] (sometimes disapproving) a crowd of people pressed close together in a small space （狭小空间中）拥挤的人群◆There's always a big crush in the bar during the interval.幕间休息时酒吧里总是人群拥挤。■ rabble [singular, plural] (disapproving) a large group of noisy people who are or may become violent 乌合之众；聚众的暴民◆As he arrived he was met by a rabble of noisy youths.他到达时碰到了一群喧闹的年轻人。 crowd verb ➡ See also the entry for ⇨ pack 另见pack条crowd ♦︎ cluster ♦︎ flock ♦︎ huddle ♦︎ throng ♦︎ herdThese words are all used to talk about people standing or moving together in a group. 这些词均表示人群聚集或拥向某处。PATTERNS AND COLLOCATIONS 句型和搭配◆to crowd / cluster / flock / huddle / throng / herd together◆to crowd / cluster / flock / huddle / throng into somewhere◆to crowd / cluster / flock / huddle / throng round / around somewhere◆to flock / throng to somewhere◆to flock / throng to do sth◆to crowd / throng the streets◆people crowd / cluster / flock / huddle / throng somewhere■ crowd [intransitive, transitive] to form a group of people that fills a place so there is little room to move 挤满；塞满；使⋯拥挤◆We all crowded into her office to sing 'Happy Birthday'.我们都挤进她的办公室唱起《生日快乐》。◆Photographers were crowding around outside.外面挤满了摄影师。◆Thousands of people crowded the narrow streets.成千上万的人把狭窄的街道挤得水泄不通。ⓘ When there is no object, crowd is always used with an adverb or preposition. 没有宾语时，crowd总是与副词或介词连用。■ cluster [intransitive] (usually used with an adverb or preposition 通常与副词或介词连用) to come together in a small group or groups （一小群人）群集，聚集◆Guests clustered at tables scattered around the hotel's bar.客人三三两两地聚集在饭店酒吧分散的几张桌子旁。 see also cluster ⇨ group noun 1 ■ flock [intransitive] (used with an adverb, preposition or to infinitive 与副词、介词或带to的不定式连用) (of people or birds) to go or gather together somewhere in large numbers （人或鸟）群集，聚集，蜂拥◆Thousands of people flocked to the beach this weekend.这个周末好几千人蜂拥到海滩上去。◆People flocked to hear him speak.人们成群结队地去听他演讲。 see also flock ⇨ herd noun ■ huddle [intransitive] (usually used with an adverb or preposition 通常与副词或介词连用) (of people or animals) to gather closely together, usually because of cold or fear （人或动物通常因寒冷或害怕）挤在一起◆People huddled up close to each other.人们互相紧紧地挤在一起。■ throng [intransitive, transitive] (rather formal, written) to go somewhere or be present somewhere in large numbers 群集；拥塞；拥向◆The children thronged into the hall.孩子们拥进了大厅。◆Crowds thronged the stores.商店都挤满了人。ⓘ When there is no object, throng is always used with an adverb or preposition. 没有宾语时，throng总是与副词或介词连用。■ herd [intransitive, transitive] (always used with an adverb or preposition 总是与副词或介词连用) to move or make sb/sth move in a particular direction in a group （使）成群移动◆We all herded on to the bus.我们全都拥上了公共汽车。◆They were herded together into trucks and driven away.他们被一起赶上卡车拉走了。 see also herd ⇨ herd noun |
