词语辨析：

1. stagger与stumble的区别：
Both stagger and stumble refer to unsteady movements, but they have different nuances. "Stagger" suggests a more deliberate and controlled unsteadiness, whereas "stumble" implies a sudden loss of balance resulting in a trip or fall. 2. stagger与lurch的区别：
While both stagger and lurch involve unsteady movement, "stagger" emphasizes a side-to-side swaying or wavering motion, while "lurch" suggests a sudden and jerky movement, often forward or backward. 3. stagger与sway的区别：
Both stagger and sway involve an unsteady movement, but they differ in terms of the nature of the movement. "Stagger" suggests a more uncontrolled and irregular movement, while "sway" implies a back-and-forth motion or a gentle rocking movement.
