英文常用词

each, every

这两个词都有“每个”的意义。 each强调各别、各个，而every 强调全部、都

among /between

she likes to live among the working people there are spaces between the rocks. 为什么前者用among 而后者用between

看字典解释，另外between用于2者和多者之间，很显然rocks是互相独立存在的。而工作人员属于一群人，1个整体翻译应该是 她喜欢住在工作人员中 而不是强调中间，不是强调量度石头中间还有空间 （你要看空间肯定是把石头当作1个个独立存在的实体，分别看他们中间的空间）

另外between可以用于表示介于2个量度（空间，距离，数量，重量等）之间

Among is used of people or things considered as a group *among用於指作为一整体的人或事物: Share out the books among the class. 把书分发给全班. * They talked among themselves while they waited. 他们一边等着一边互相谈话. * standing among the crowd at the football match 在人群中站着看足球比赛.

2 Between is used of people or things, either two in number or more than two considered individually *between用於指两个或两个以上各自独立的人或事物: one book between two (pupils) 两个人（小学生）一本书 * She divided her possessions equally between her four children. 她把自己的财物平均分给了她的四个孩子. * They hung flags across the street between the houses. 他们把旗子横跨街道悬挂在两边房子中间. * There's a lot of disagreement between the two main political parties on this issue. 对这一问题, 两大政党间有很大分歧. (Compare 试比较: There's a lot of disagreement among politicians on this issue. 对这一问题, 政治家们有很大分歧.)

trace, track, trail的区别

这三个词分别是：迹线、轨道、小径的意思。 trace有“某种迹象”的意思。no trace没有任何迹象。 track跑道，足迹。keep track(of) 继续了解（…的）情况 trail还有拖拉的意思。trail sth in/on/through trail V.追踪；把....拖在后面。N.一连串的痕迹（如一串血渍）；一连串的踪迹(含可看到和可闻到的，如车辙，动物身上的臭味）；一排（车）；一屡（烟） track V.跟踪。N.道（小路，小径，跑道，车道）；一连串的踪迹或痕迹（要用tracks，而且不能形容气味），被追踪的线路 trace V.追寻；追溯；回溯（trace back)。N.遗迹；痕迹（事件影响的结果，如战争留下的痕迹）；行迹

Stage 和 phase

他们俩区别很大，stage ,舞台，阶段，phase 段落，时期 要说混淆，也就是阶段这个层面

上能够混淆。 这时候，stage 之某一个特定的阶段。 而phase 是一个时期，意味着同时还有别的类似的时期。 这回答,也只是我的感觉,仅供参考. stage形容历史发生过的多一些,也就是发展过的某一个时期.. phase这强调一系列中的一部分.比如作试验的某一个阶段.我中文表达的阶段和时期没有什么区别.很多词汇的理解区别也没有那么鲜明..我建议比较微妙的区别,查英英词典 既然你又问了,我又查了一下韦伯斯特.看看会不会有帮助. stage: a period or step in a progress, activity or development;esp, one of the distinguishable periods of growth and development of a plant or animal. phase: a particular appearance or state in a regularly recurring cycle of changes

各类包含consist compose comprise constitute的区别

consist是不及物动词，得加介词用 consist of，例如The United Kingdom consists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

compose既是及物动词也是不及物动词，作为构成的意思的时候是及物动词，而且要用被动语态be composed of,例如Water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen.另外compose还有创作的意思，是作为不及物动词使用的，例如He was composing at the piano at the age of seven.

comprise是及物动词，当作组成构成的意思时候，可以用be comprised of,等同于be composed of,例如A football team is comprised of eleven players. 也可以直接coomprise加名词或代词，不需要加介词，等同于constitute，例如Fifteen separate republics comprised the Soviet Union. 另外它还有包括包含的意思，等同于include，contain，incorporate，例如This month's figures are comprised in the total.

constitute 是及物动词，不需要加介词of，例如 Twelve months constitute one year.而且constitute一般多用于机构 ，组织的构成

comprise compose consist contain embrace include invole

Comprise：包含，由……组成。（可用复数的“部分”成分作主语，表构成） eg.The committee comprises five persons. Twenty lessons comprise Book One.

Compose：组成，构成（几个部分构成一个统一体）be composed of eg.These twelve persons are believed to compose the jury.

Consist：由……构成（不能用被动语态）consist of eg.Our university consists of 22 departments. The entire world consists of matter.

Embrace: 包括（与include同义）；包围 eg.The hills embrace my hometown.

Include:包括（宾语只是整体的一部分） eg.Your duty will include washing the test tubes.

Involve: 包括（含必然包含）；使专注；使卷入

Continuity、 continuation & continuance

continuity 连贯性

continuation 续集，增刊，附加物（继续之物）

continuance 继续的行为或事例（“继续”本身）；持续时间

首先，前者是强调连续不断的状态；后两者则有“后续”之意。

continuation和continuance有些时候可以互换，但区别在于：

1）指“持续时间”要用continuance【如：in his continuance in office 在他的任期里】 2）continuation强调的是行动的延期或重新开始【如：a continuation of the meeting 会议的推延】或者是物理上的延伸【the continuation of the street 街道的延伸】

3）故事经历一个停顿之后的继续，叫continuation（续篇，补编）。单指续集啊，续编啊这个意思，个人觉得是可以互换的。 4）continuation在数学里叫做“延拓”。

另外，continuance是只用单数的。

over time随着时间的流逝 As time goes on随着时间的推移 in the light of 根据，按照

property、character、characteristic、trait、attribute、feature

这组词常用于表示人或物的特征。

for example, such as 和namely 的用法有什么区别？

【问】 编辑老师,您好！我非常喜欢英语,学习也很用功,成绩也一直不错。可我一看到意思相近的短语或单词时就很迷惑。如,我总是分不清for example, such as 和namely 的用法,请您帮我讲解一下。 （山东 黄翁宁）

【答】 谢谢你的来信。

for example, such as 和namely 都有 “例如”的意思,它们的区别在于：

1. for example 一般列举同类人或物中的一个,作为插入语用逗号隔开,可放在句首、句中或句末。如: Some students, for example, Tim, live far away from here. 有些学生,比如Tim, 住在离这很远的地方。

2. such as 用来列举同类人或物中的几个例子。如:

He knows four languages, such as Chinese and English. 他会说四种语言,如汉语和英语。 3. namely 表示全部列举。如:

He knows three languages, namely Chinese, English and French. 他会说三种语言,如汉语、英语和法语。

fast, quick与rapid的用法区别

三者均可表示“快”，其区别比较麻烦，归纳以下几点供参考：

1. 表示人的动作之迅速，三者都可用，有时可换用。如： a fast [rapid, quick] worker 做事手脚快的人 a fast [rapid, quick] typist 打字快的打字员 2. fast 表示“快”，侧重指速度方面。如： She ran as fast as she could. 她有好快就跑好快。

You are reading too fast for me to follow. 你读得太快，我跟不上。 注：询问速度或表示钟表走得快等，通常用 fast。如： How fast is the fish swimming? 这鱼游得有多快? My watch is 5 minutes fast. 我的表快 5 分钟。

3. quick 通常表示某一动作来得突然或时间持续很短，有时还含有匆忙之意(但通常不指动作的频率)。如：

He gave her a quick kiss. 他突然吻了她一下。 He had a quick look at it. 他匆匆地扫了一眼。

She ate a quick breakfast and rushed off to work. 她匆匆吃了早餐就赶去上班。 注：催人快做(快走等)，通常用 quick。如： Be quick! 快点!

4. rapid 比另外两词要稍正式些，通常指突然或急速(且连续不断)的动作。如： a rapid burst of machine-gun fire 机枪声骤起

He asked questions in rapid succession. 他连珠炮似地发问。

另外 rapid 还有一个特殊用法，即指一种有益的高速度(相比之下，fast 和 quick 有时指无益的急速)。如：

He made rapid progress in English. 他在英语方面取得了很快的进步。

Require

It requires that ... 有...的必要 require sth. of sb. 对某人有...的要求 require sb. to do sth. 要求某人做某事

正：He was late due to [owing to, because of] the very heavy traffic. 正：Due to [Owing to, Because of] the very heavy traffic, he was late. because of 通常只用来引导状语，若引导表语，主语通常应为代词。如： It is all because of what you said. 那完全是因为你说的话。

due与due to用法归纳

due用法1

表示“到期的”、“应付(给)的”、“到期应付的”，通常只用作表语。如：

表示应付给或应给予某人，通常与介词 to 连用。如： A great deal of money is due to you. 要付给你一大笔钱。 Respect is due to older people. 年长者应受到尊重。 Our grateful thanks are due to you. 我们衷心感谢你。 due用法2

表示“预定的”、“约定的”、“预定要到达或发生的”，也通常用作表语。如： When is the train due? 火车什么时候到?

I’m due for a pay rise soon. 我不久就要加薪了。 其后可接不定式。如(from www.yywords.com)： The guests are due to arrive very soon. 客人很快就会到。

The meeting isn’t due to start until four. 会议预定要到四点才召开。 due用法3

表示“适当的”、“合适的”、“应得的”，通常只放在名词前作定语。如： We should pay due attention to this problem. 我们应对这个问题给予适当的注意。 You must put these things in due order. 你必须把这些东西按适当的顺序放好。 due用法4

用于 due to(由于，因为)。按照传统语法 due to 主要引导表语，一般不引导状语。如： His absence was due to the storm. 他因暴风雨而缺席。

Her success was due to her hard work. 她成功是因为她努力工作。

但是在现代英语中，due to 也可用来引导状语。如(from www.yywords.com)： He was late due to the very heavy traffic. 由于交通拥挤他迟到了。

rather than的用法

一、rather than用作连词，连接两个平行结构。既可以表示主观愿望上的决择，“与其?宁可?”，也可以表示客观程度上的差异，“与其说是?不如说是?”。例如： 1、接代词

1）I,rather than you,should do the work. 该做这工作的是我，而不是你。 2、接名词

2）John ought to go rather than Jean.约翰比琴更应该去。 3）I think I'll have a cold drink rather than coffee. 我想我该要一杯冷饮，而不要咖啡。 试比较：

4）We sometimes eat rice instead of potatoes. 有时候我们不吃土豆，而吃米饭。 3、接形容词

5）These shoes are comfortable rather than for your friend. 这鞋不好看可是舒服。

6）You are doing this for yourself rather than for your friend. 你不是为你朋友，而是为你自己做这种事。

7)I'd prefer to go in August rather than in July.我愿8月去不愿7月去。 5、接动名词

8)I always prefer starting early,rather than leaving everything to the last minute, 我总是愿意早开始而不愿意把所有事情都留到最后才做。

9)He was engaged in writing a letter rather than reading the newspaper. 他那时是在写信而不是看报纸。 6、接过去分词

10)She insisted on having the room papered rather than painted. 她坚持要用纸裱糊房间，而不是把房间粉刷一下。 7、接不定式

11)I decided to write rather than telephone.我决定写信而不是打电话。 12)They prefer to die fighting rather than live in enslavement. 他们宁可战死，也不肯活着受奴役。

13)I prefer to work rather than remain idle.我宁愿工作而不愿闲着。 8、接谓语动词

14)He told a lie rather than get his friend into trouble. 他宁愿说谎也不愿连累朋友。

15)Shall we go for a walk rather than watch television? 咱们不看电视，出去散步，好不好？

16)He ran rather than walked.他跑步而不是步行。

rather than后接动词原形表示主观抉择，接一个动词的过去式则表示客观差异。 9、接从句

17)It was what he meant rather than what he said. 那是指他话中的意思，而不是他所说的话。

18)It was what he had caten rather than what he had drunk that made him ill.使他得病的不是他喝的东西，而是他吃的东西。

二、rather than用作介词

R.Quirk编著的《英语语法大全》p.1387明确指出：和as well as及in stead of一样，rather than后面跟一个和母句中的动词形式并不匹配的ing分词分句时，它是介词，而不是准并列连词： 19）Their actions precipitated the war rather than averting it. 他们的行为促使战争爆发而不是避免战争。

20）Rather than a new car,he bought a colour television. 他买了一台彩电，而不是一辆新车。

21）Let's finish the job today,rather than leaving it till tomorrow. 让咱们今天干完工作，而不是留到明天。

三、rather than用作从属连词，引导一种优选分句。

R.Quirk在《英语语法大全》p.1540指出：优先分句主要用从属连词rather than和sooner than引导，用不带to的不定式作该分句的谓语动词：

22）Rather than go there by air,I'd take the slowest train. 我宁愿乘最慢的火车，也不愿乘飞机去那儿。

1) rather than此处是介词短语，意思是\与其\、\不是\，相当于instead of。如： I think you, rather than Mary, is to be punished. 我认为该受惩罚的是你，而不是玛丽。

Rather than fish, well have fried eggs and meat for lunch. 今天午餐吃煎蛋和肉，而没有鱼。

The colour seems green rather than blue. 这颜色看上去是绿的，而不是蓝的。

I always prefer starting early, rather than leaving everything to the last minute. 任何事情我总是喜欢早点做，不要到最后。

Ill have a cold drink rather than coffee. 我要喝冷饮，不想喝咖啡。

2)rather than可以和would连用，如would rather?than?或would?rather than?这时要注意\平?quot;问题，即其前后必须用相同的语法单位。如：

Id rather have the red one than(have)the green one.

我宁愿要红的，不愿要绿的。

Id take the slowest train rather than go there by air. 我宁可乘坐最慢的火车也不愿坐飞机去那儿。

He would rather walk than drive. 他宁愿步行不愿开车。

Id prefer to go in August rather than in July. 我愿八月去，不愿七月去。 Id call her hair chestnut rather than brown. 我宁愿说她的头发是栗色，而不是棕色。

【注意】Id rather +动词原形，通常意为\我宁愿??\，相当于\?\，具有选择意义，即\宁愿做??不愿做\。但是，当后接动词like, enjoy, appreciate时，rather是一个程度副词，象quite和fairly一样无选择意义，所以Id rather like不是\我宁愿喜欢\，而是\我相当（很）喜欢\。试比较下列句子： ①\\

\我很想来杯咖啡。\噢，是吗？我宁愿喝杯啤酒。\②We would rather appreciate your help. 我们非常感谢你的帮助。 ③Which would you rather have, tea or coffee? 你更愿意喝什么，茶还是咖啡？ ④He would rather enjoy seeing a film on Sundays. 他很喜欢在星期天看场电影。 other than 1.FORMAL different from or except (书面语,不同,除了)

[例]The work cannot be done by anyone other than yourself. 作业必须自己做

2. in a negative sentence, used to mean 'except': (否定句中做 除了 讲)

[例]There's nothing on TV tonight, other than rubbish. 今晚的电视,除了垃圾什么都没有

1.Everyone here can go there other than you. 除了你之外，这儿的每一个人都可以去那儿。 2.Everyone here can go there rather than me. 这儿的每一个人都可以代替我去那儿。

3.Everyone here can go there rather than me other than you. 除了你之外，这儿的每一个人都可以代替我去那儿。 4.I can go there rather than you. 我要去那儿，而不是你。

to do 和to be done做定语区别

2009-05-14 10:13肯定和否定 | 分类：文学 | 浏览3026次

to be done能作定语吗 如果能做他们区别是什么 提问者采纳

检举| 2009-05-14 10:37

都可以，不过其句子主语是不同性质的。

使用to do来表示被动是因为：用这个不定式结构作宾补.这个不定式表示将要

发生的动作.和主语名词有逻辑上动宾关系【很重要】,所以要用主动式表示被动意义.而不用被动的. 如：With a lot of difficult problems to settle , the manager felt worried all the time.【经理解决问题，主语和谓语是一致的，动作由该主语发出。】

而直接使用被动to be done，则它和所修饰的成分有动宾关系，但和句子主语没有动宾关系。对比上文。总的来说，就是主句的主语和该不定式的主语是两个不同的事物，这时候，要只考虑不定式和它的被修饰词之间的关系就可以了。例句：

The weather to be unsteady,this was bound to be a tough journey.(天气变化无常，这注定是趟艰辛的路程。)【to be unstead修饰的是the weather，它却不是整个句子的主语；后面的this(journey)才是主语，和这个不定式没有直接的关系。】

【问】 编辑老师您好！我有这样一道题不太清楚： The child's reading ________ was great.

A. ability B. capability C. capacity D. talent

这道题的答案是A。但B和C不是也有“能力”的意思吗？为什么不选它们呢？（山东 孙 言） 【答】 谢谢你的来信。ability, capability和capacity三个名词都有“能力”的意思，区别如下。 其后常接to do sth.或in / for sth.。如：

1. ability的含义较广，主要指人具有从事体力或脑力劳动的能力，并且暗含能够干好的意味。其复数形式表示“才能，专

2. capability的含义与ability相似，但它既可以指人，又可以指物。其复数形式常常表示“潜在的能力”，其后接to d

He has the capability to complete this job. 他有能力完成这项工作。

Our country has the capability to defeat any intruder. 我国有能力战胜任何侵略者。 3. capacity指人或物的容纳或吸收能力，其后接for sth. / of sth.。如： His capacity for languages is wonderful. 他学语言的能力极好。
