Insolvent is used more in Business English. There are technical differences in meaning: sb who is bankrupt has been legally declared bankrupt; if they are insolvent this may only be temporary. Insolvent is used more about businesses than about individual people. However, these differences in meaning are less important than the difference in register. Go bust and go broke are rather informal ways of saying go bankrupt. 在日常英语中一般用bankrupt，insolvent多用于商务英语。这两个词在严格的意义上有差别：bankrupt表示在法律上已被宣布破产，insolvent表示可能只是暂时无力偿付债务。insolvent较多用来描述公司而非个人的状况。不过，这些语义上的差别不如语体风格上的差别重要。go bust和go broke不如go bankrupt正式◆The company was declared bankrupt in the High Court.那家公司经高等法院宣告破产。◆The company was declared bust/broke in the High Court.
