A few ?-ed? adjectives are related to intransitive verbs and have an active meaning. For example, an ?escaped? prisoner is a prisoner who has escaped.

weep是因悲痛或悲哀而流泪。换句话说“weep”是从心底发出来“声泪俱下”的恸哭。weep常用于写作,并指流泪多于哭声,也就是重“泪”而不重“声”;cry则是相反,是重“声”而不重“泪”。 wail是指由于悲伤或哀痛而尖声地哭哭啼啼,或哭个不停。 The woman wailed with sorrow. 那妇人悲凄地哭个不停。
whimper:“whimper”与“wail”的不同之处在于“wail”是用尖锐的声音而“whimper”是用低声哭啼,也是呜咽地、抽噎地低泣,也常指因委屈、胆怯或恐惧而发出来的啜泣。 The sick boy lay in bed and whimpered. 病童躺在床上呜咽啜泣
sob是指受委屈,虐待或悲伤而无处诉苦时,抽噎地唏嘘或哽咽而哭泣;“sob”也可以说是最容易引起别人的同情,也令人鼻酸的哭法:
The boy sobbed because he lost all of his money.那男孩因丢了他所有的钱而啜泣。 bowl:sob是抽噎而唏嘘地哭泣;如果把嗓门提高一点哭声放大些就变成“to bowl” (vi. to cry or sob loudly)。此字常用做及物动词,意谓“大声喊叫”,“粗声咆哮”等。 blubber是相当于中文的“嚎啕大哭”或“放声大哭”甚至有时指无理取闹地大叫大哭,或谐谑地指哭得天翻地覆:
Stop blubbering! I can't hear what you're saying. 不要哭成那样,我听不清楚你在说什么! blubber还有“(vi.)哭肿眼”及“(vi.)哭诉”之意。 Confusing
