近义词辨析?

choose, select, pick out?

这组词皆有“选择”之意。

choose在这三个词中是最常用的，可以表示进行一般的“选择”，有时也可以表示“决择”，它较侧重意志和判断。

select和pickout 而select和pick out通常指在三者或三者以上中作出选择。

select比 pick out 更为正式，select通常指经过慎重考虑而作出的选择select和choose有时可以通用，主要不同在于：choose往往指以个人的好恶或对个人是否合适为标准来“选择”，而select则更加强调被“选择”的事物在客观上的优劣。

choose有“选定之后就要坚持从事”的意思，而select则没有此意，例如在选择一生的职业、事业及爱人等时，只能用choose而不能用select。

choose一般指在两者之间作出选择，有时也可指在三者之间作出选择。?
