1. pull是三者中使用最廣的詞,指使物體朝著發出力的方向移動,不強調用力的大小和方式。它比“draw”一詞所表達的“拉”要費力一些。
The mother pulled the little girl by hand.
She pulled her chair up to the desk.
2. draw表示不論用力大小而作出平穩的動作。指把某物體朝著出力的方向拉。意思與pull相近,但動作比pull均勻、從容,沒有pull所表述的“拉”那么吃力,語體也比pull正式。
I don’t know how to draw the net in.
Out of the school bag he drew a piece of paper and gave it to me.
3. drag指艱難而緩慢地拖、拉較笨重的東西,需要付出努力以克服阻力、摩擦力或重力。運動方向可能是水平或沿斜坡而上。
That night I dragged myself along the street.
Mother dragged a trunk out from under the bed.
