Pack emphasizes how tightly things are put into a space, often for a good reason. * pack强调因故塞得紧紧的◆Pack wet shoes with newspaper to help them dry.把报纸塞进湿鞋子里，这样干得快。You could also use stuff in this sentence, but not jam. Stuff often suggests that things have been put into a space in a quick, careless or untidy way. 这一句也可以用stuff，但不可以用jam。stuff常指快速、随意或凌乱地塞入◆All the drawers were stuffed full of letters and papers.所有抽屉里都塞满了信函文件。You could also use jam in this sentence, but not pack. Jam is often used in the passive, to suggest that people or things have been pushed into a space against their will, more as a result of circumstances than from anyone's considered action. 这一句也可以用jam，但是不可以用pack。jam常用于被动语态，意为不情愿地被塞进，较多因情势所迫，而非深思熟虑后的行为。 ■ wedge [transitive] (always used with an adverb or preposition 总是与副词或介词连用) to put or squeeze sth tightly into a narrow space, so that it cannot move easily 将⋯挤入（或塞进、插入）◆The phone was wedged under his chin.他把电话夹在颏下。 |
