defend用法:

1.defend可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词,用作及物动词时,按名词、代词或that从句作宾语。偶尔也可接双宾语,可用于被动结构。

2.defend常与against连用表示“防守,捍卫”; 与from连用表示“保护…以防,使…免遭危害”。

词义辨析:defend, guard, protect这组词的共同意思是“保护”。其区别是：

defend指对迫在眉睫的危险或侵袭而采取武力或其他手段防御,也可指为某人辩护或捍卫原则的纯洁性;

guard指小心翼翼地保持警惕,防止实际存在的或可能发生的危险,以确保人身安全;

protect指借用某种东西作为防御、保护的工具,使人或物免受伤害;
