commandeer vs confiscate
「commandeer」通常指（尤指為軍事或緊急用途）強行徵用財產或資源，帶有臨時、緊急的意味；「confiscate」則指（因違規或犯罪）官方沒收財產，所有權轉移至政府，通常為永久性。
commandeer vs appropriate
「commandeer」帶有武力或權威強制執行的色彩，通常未經同意；「appropriate」作為動詞時，語氣較正式或中性，可指依法撥款或未經授權佔用。
commandeer vs seize
「commandeer」是「seize」的一種具體形式，專指為特定用途（常為公用或緊急）而強行佔用；「seize」含義更廣，可指抓住機會、奪取控制權或依法扣押。
