Bother与 Disturb区别?
disturb 和bother都可以做动词，使别人受到干扰和影响的行为。本意上看disturb有使稳定、平静的状态被打破，如平静的水面，人的思维或行动等。bother有使人烦恼，受到打扰，让人生气，令人不安的含义。
当两个词都用于人时，通常“disturb”意味着在情感上影响人，但这种影响不一定是烦恼，它通常使人不安，所以这两者是不能真正互换的。"bother"指给某人带来烦恼或困难,使人不快，而"disturb"指改变或移动某人或物(通常以一种不受欢迎的或无序的方式)。
因此“宁扰千江水，不扰道人心”这句话可以翻译成:
Don’t bother a man practicing his belief as you can disturb the quietness of a river.
例如同样用于人：
- It bothered me.（这使我生气。） = It made me annoyed.
- It disturbed me.（这使我不舒服。）= It made me uneasy.
- The smell of cigarette smoke bothered me.
香烟的气味使我心烦。(隐含意思 ： I didn't like it; I couldn't stand it)
- The noisy ventilation disturbed me during the exam.
吵闹的通风在考试时干扰了我。（隐含的意思：I was distracted by the noise）
字典对bother的解释：
- To annoy; give trouble to;
- To cause anxiety, or worry in (someone) to make or take trouble.
