Agony suggests the most suffering. Torture also suggests extreme suffering, but it is used in informal spoken English in an exaggerated way: the situations that cause the torture may not in fact be very serious. Anguish is a rather formal word and is slightly less extreme than agony and torture. Misery may be less intense suffering but it may last a much longer time. 这四个词的主要区别在于所表示痛苦的程度和语言的正式程度不同。agony表示的痛苦程度最强;torture也表示极端痛苦,但会用于非正式口语以示夸张,造成痛苦的情况不一定真的很严重;anguish相当正式,其痛苦程度比agony和torture稍弱;misery所指的痛苦可能不太强烈,但持续的时间则可能长得多。
