11. almost , nearly这两个词都有"几乎","差不多"的意思。但也有区别。almost强调差一点,缺一点;nearly通常用来表示接近的意味。如:They had almost finished when they were interrupted .他们差不多都完成了,这时候有人来打扰他们。 They were nearly at the end of their journey . 他们就快到达目的地了。 另外具体数字前常用nearly;"more than","too"之前,应用almost,不用nearly.如:The mother is nearly twice as old as her son . 母亲的岁数差不多比她的儿子大一倍。 12. aloud , loud二者作为副词,都有"大声地"、"响亮"的意思,有时可以通用。但aloud与read,think连用时,表示"出声",而loud用于talk,speak,shout,laugh等动词之后,在口语中代替loudly.例如:Please read the text aloud . 请朗读这篇课文。 Don't talk so loud-you'll wake my mother . 谈话不要这么大声——你会吵醒我母亲的。 13. also , either , too , as well这些词都有"也"的意思。但用法是有区别的。also用于肯定句,either用于否定句,并放在句尾;too和as well 用于肯定句,放在句尾,多用于口语。例如:You study English and I also study it . 你学英语,我也学。 You don't study English and I don't study it either . 你不学英语,我也不学。 You are a student and I am a student , too . 你是学生,我也是。 You know the way and I know it as well . 你知道路,我也知道。 14. among , between二者都有"在……之间"的意思。between表示"两者"之间,among表示"三者或三者以上之间。"例如:He is the most energetic boy among them . 他是他们中间精力最饱满的孩子。 Do you know the difference between the two words ? 你知道这两个词有什么不同吗? 在当代英语中,between有时也可用于三个以上的事物,特别是这些事物有清楚、确切的位置时。如:Switzerland lies between France , Germany , Austria and Italy .瑞士位于法国、德国、奥地利和意大利之间。 (责任编辑:admin) |
