一、详细释义：,v.,使服从，压制，减弱，抑制，克制,例句：,He managed to subdue his mounting anger.,他设法克制住了阵阵愤怒。,例句：,This ointment will subdue the inflammation.,这油膏可以消此炎症。,二、词义辨析：,conquer,overe,overthrow,defeat,beat,subdue,这些动词均含“征服，战胜”之意。conquer侧重战胜和控制。书面用词。overe多指战胜或克服非物质的东西，如困难和不良习惯等。语气较弱也可指在斗争或竞争中战胜或压倒对方。overthrow指彻底击败对手，使其丧失力量和地位。defeat普通用词，多指在战争、比赛、竞选或辩论中战胜对手，侧重胜利的暂时性。beat口笔语均可用，可与defeat换用。subdue正式用词，与conquer同义，但强调失败后的臣服状态；也可用作借喻，表克制、压抑感情、欲望等。,三、参考例句：,He managed to subdue his mounting anger.,他极力克制郁积在心中的怒气。,She tried hard to subdue her emotions.,她尽力克制自己的情绪。,This ointment will subdue the inflammation.,这油膏可以减轻此炎症。
