重点讲解
一.threat：n. 威胁，恐吓，凶兆 vt. <古> 威胁，恐吓
【词义辨析】
danger，risk，hazard，menace，peril，threat
danger: 含义广，普通用词，指能够造成伤害、损害或不利的任何情况。
risk: 指有可能发生的危险，尤指主动进行某种活动或去碰运气而冒的危险。
hazard: 比risk正式，多指偶然发生的或无法控制的危险，常含较严重或有一定风险的意味。
menace: 所指的危险性最严重，表示使用暴力或造成破坏性的可能。
peril: 指迫在眉睫很有可能发生的严重危险。
threat: 普通用词，语气弱于menace，指任何公开侵犯对方的言行，给对方构成危险或威胁。
【词语用法】
threat属于类名词，句子We disregarded all his threats里的threats不能以它的单数形式threat出现；
threat后可接to的不定式。

这些租客完全漠视房东要把他们驱赶出去的威胁。
threat后可接不同的介词，如of，to等。

assume: 指有很少或完全无根据的武断推测或不合逻辑的推理。
presume: 侧重以过去经验或根据现实的某些感觉把某事认定为是事实。
