fasten, bind, tie

这三个词都有“绑,扎”的意思。其区别是：

1.bind主要指把两种或两种以上的东西捆绑起来,使它们紧靠在一起或成为一体; tie则是将人或东西“绑牢”的意思,有时指有一端拴在固定的物体上,另一端仍可活动; fasten指一端或两端固定,一端或两端中间仍可活动。例如:

Water binds particles of dirt to form mud.水凝结脏的微粒构成泥巴。

The three sisters are bound together by their common grief.三姐妹由于共同的忧伤而相依为命。

Really, you are tied to your home when you have small children.有了孩子后,你就真的会被家庭所束缚。

5.bind还有“装订”的意思,而tie和fasten却没有此义。例如:

He is binding a new book.他在装订一本新书。
