詞意辨析：

clean, cleanse

這兩個單詞的拼寫非常相近，且都包含動詞"淨"的意思。
clean: 意思是“使潔淨”、“把...去垢”（to make clean by washing，dusting，sweeping or brushing）。如：to clean a dress，room，hand，shoe，watch等。

• please clean your shoes.
  請把鞋刷乾淨。
• he cleaned the floor with water.
  他用水沖洗地板。
• i have got my watch cleaned in a watch-shop.
  我的表已在一家鐘錶店清潔過了。

cleanse: 意思是“清洗乾淨”，“使...純潔”（to make thoroughly clean or make pure）。為此，cleanse含有“徹底洗清”之意味，語義比clean強得多。clean和cleanse的另一區別是前者為一般用語；後者是正式的（formal）或古舊的用語，有時它還能用於比喻意義，例如to cleanse one's soul洗滌心靈；to cleanse the heart of sin 洗心革面；ethnic cleansing 種族清洗/滅絕。

• we have cleansed the garden of weeds.
  我們已把花園裡的雜草清除乾淨。
