Throng is used especially in descriptive writing to suggest lots of people crowding together in a busy or excited way. A throng attracts people who want to join in or find out what is going on. You might want to avoid/get away from the crowds but you would not usually 'avoid/get away from the throng'. At a sports game you talk about the crowd, not the throng. * crowd远较throng常用、宽泛。throng尤用于描写性文字中,有热闹忙乱之意,会使人想加入进来或一睹究竟。可以说avoid/get away from the crowds,但一般不说avoid/get away from the throng。指观看体育比赛的观众用crowd,不用throng。■drovedrəʊv; NAmEdroʊv [countable, usually plural] a large number of people or animals, often moving or doing sth as a group(移动的)人群,畜群◆People are leaving the countryside in droves to look for work in the cities.一批一批的人离开农村到城里找工作。■crush [countable, usually singular] (sometimesdisapproving) a crowd of people pressed close together in a small space(狭小空间中)拥挤的人群◆There's always a big crush in the bar during the interval.幕间休息时酒吧里总是人群拥挤。■rabble [singular, plural] (disapproving) a large group of noisy people who are or may become violent乌合之众;聚众的暴民◆As he arrived he was met by a rabble of noisy youths.他到达时碰到了一群喧闹的年轻人。crowd
