这四个词都有“拒绝”的意思，但它们有细微的区别：

B
I’ve always felt a bit sad for weekend fathers, who are divorced and must maintain a bond with their children through visits on the weekend. Not having the opportunity for a lot of quality time, they go in for quantity —giving lots of gifts and taking the children on non-stop outings.
But now I can understand. I’m a weekend mom. My child, Henry, is a dog.
Henry just returned to his father, Jack, after a happy stay with me. For ten days, I fed him the best food,
canceled plans to stay home with him and let him sleep on the bed every night.
Jack and I broke up a year ago. But neither of us wanted to part with Henry, so we share him. Not surprisingly, Henry is a willing participant in our contest for his love.
Jack doesn’t let Henry sleep on his bed, so that’s where I can always gain big points. I feed Henry higher-quality food. I am always replacing his expensive “thingy”, a cotton knot he likes chewing on. It’s his favorite toy, and the only one he has is at my house. Score another one for me.
Jack now has a girlfriend, Lucy. At first she was afraid of dogs, which secretly delighted me. But that Henry, just trying to be polite (the way I taught him to be), won her over.
If truth be told, as time passes, there has been a slight change in Henry’s behavior towards me. The worst was one day when Jack dropped him off for a two-week stay. Henry and I were in the backyard playing as Jack was driving off. When he heard Jack’s truck, he ran after it for two blocks until Jack had to stop and bring him back.
That hurt, especially since I had friends over at the time. In a rare conciliatory (安抚的) mood, Jack said to me, “You know, I’m his best friend, but you’ll always be his mom.”
Whatever it takes, I plan to make sure it stays that way.

This is a story told or children of young ages. The heroine（女主人公）, Cinderella, treated cruelly by her stepmother and her two ugly stepsisters, is helpless until the right magic comes along. She meets her prince and they live together happily.
Just a sweet, pretty tale? Not in the view of Ellen Macintosh, who has written much about fairy tales. Ellen's main concern is with what the story implies. “Instead of standing up to her cruel stepmother and
stepsisters, Cinderella just waits for a fairy godmother to appear and solve her problem. But wouldn't you want a daughter of yours to show more spirit?"
The story is long-lasting, whatever its shortcomings, and it doesn't take much to see its influence on a number of recent Hollywood productions. In these versions for the silver screen, the Cinderella character no longer has to clean the house and has no sisters to make her life terrible, though she keeps the way of not showing much courage. The character of the rich and handsome stranger, however, is kept, and in some cases really is a prince. The role of the fairy godmother is often played by luck; we live in a civilized age when even very young children might reject the idea of fairies. In the majority of film versions, the heroine has a professional and is even permitted to continue work after marry her prince--this is the twenty-first century, after all.
Doesn't the success of these films indicate that the story has relevance to children even today? “Yes." admits Ellen, who sees its message as being rooted in a fundamental childhood desire for love and attention. "Most children experience a sense of inner loneliness as they are growing up and empathize with (与…共鸣）the character who faces some sort of challenge . This can be seen in the original story of Cinderella, when the fairy godmother tells the heroine that she must learn to be gracious and confident if she is to go to the ball. She has to grow spiritually, and by maturing, she becomes attractive to the prince, thus ensuring that the ending of the story will be happy." "In the later versions, this element(因素）is missing，"says Ellen. “and the theme of story is simply that a girl's role in life is to be more beautiful than other girls so that she can carry off the prize : the handsome prince. Is this really what we want girls to grow up believing?"
