请问claw,paw,talon,clutch有什么区别？
分类: 教育/科学 >> 外语学习
解析:
给你大体分析一下：
都有“爪子”的意思。
其中只有paw和clutch可以用来表示人的手，paw表示粗笨的那种,clutch多表示五指分开正要抓东西那种状态的手（talon有时也用来表示人手，但通常也是隐喻的手法，形容那种干瘦的，有些恐怖的比如巫婆的手）。
*claw通常指四足或两足动物的脚爪，有尖刺的那种。如狗猫爪，鸟爪等。
*paw指人手或四足动物的脚爪。如狗猫爪，马蹄。
*talon专指猛禽，如鹰的爪子。
*clutch ：做抓取动作的手、螯、爪.
这样分析能看明白么？下面是字典释意，你再对比看一下。
