significance, implication, meaning, sense

这组词的共同意思是“含义”。其区别是：

meaning意为“意义,意思,重要性”; implication着重指无需说明、解释即可理解的含蓄的、暗示的“意思”。例如:

She smiled with the implication that she didn't believe him.她笑了,意思就是不相信他。

sense通常指“观念,概念,含义”,也可指“感觉,意识”,在许多情况下, sense与meaning可以替换。例如:

Some words have as many as twenty senses〔means〕.有些词有至少20个意思。

significance着重指内在的“含义,重要性”。例如:

He has quite realized the true significance of her actions.他完全认识到了她的行动的重要性。
