1 about around round作副词时都含“四处”、“遍地”的意思。

1) about 系常用词, 如: look about 四处看。

2) around 具有about 的基本意思, 因此look about=look around, 但在下列短语里around没有about正式, 如: travel around 各处旅行

三者均可表示“尽管;虽然”,引导让步状语从句。although用法较正式,语气较强;though较常用;as 则主要用于倒装句。它们的用法有如下几点值得注意:1)状语从句由although, though或as引导,主句之前不可有but, and, so, however等并列连词,但可有yet 或still等副词。although与though常可互换。

例如:Although/Though he believes it, yet he will not act他虽然相信它,但却不肯有所行动。

2)as表示“尽管;虽然”,只能用于倒装句,即:将表语、状语或谓语动词放在as之前。though也可这么用。例如:Young as/though he is, he knows a lot.

3) though可以放在句末,表示“但是”,although却不能。

例如:They said they would come; they did not, though although只用来陈述“事实”,不能表示“假设”。因此可以说even though“即使”以

although“好像(=as if)”,不能说even although或as although。

例如:I believe you are on duty—even though you’re in plain clothes.

5 among/between

这两个介词都有“在……之间”的意思。between常用于两者之间;among一般指三者或三者以上之间。若指三个以上人或物中的每两个之间时,仍然要用between。

浅谈英语词汇中的同义词和反义词 摘要:汉语中有近义词和反义词之说,同样道理,英语词汇中,也有同义关系和反义关系的分类。同义词在英语文章中的显现能够证明学习者词汇量的大小,而反义词则是在写作中尤为重要,俗语或者谚语以及对偶句的应用往往使文章出彩,甚至起到强调警示的作用,令人印象深刻。当然,他们也有场合的差异,色彩的不同,甚至不同的人选词也会不尽相同。而且,他们的应用无疑给英语的学习带来了便利和兴趣。Abstract: There are two kinds of words-synonym and antonym in Chinese. In fact, about English vocabulary, there are synonym and antonym classified by relations words.

高级英语近义词辨析整理

第1 课 1.destroy一词最为常见,主要强调破坏的力度之大和彻底,一般不带感情或修辞色彩。demolish和raze通常用于巨大物体,如大型建筑物等。demolish常用引申义,指任何复合体的被毁,如demolish a theory with a few incisive comments。意即“用几句锋利的评语推翻某种理论”。而raze几乎无一例外地用于指建筑物的被毁。annihilate在这些词中所表示的损坏程度最为强烈,字面意思是“化为乌有”,但实际上往往用于指对人或物的严重损伤。如说annihilate an enemy force,是指使敌军遭到重创,不仅没有还手之力。而且没有招架之功。如说annihilate one?s opponent in a debate,是指彻底驳倒对手。 2. decay常指某物自然而然地逐渐衰败腐化。如:His teeth have begun to decay.(他的牙齿开始老化变坏。) rot指有机物质,如蔬菜等因菌毒感染而腐败变质,如:rotting apples(烂了的苹果)。 spoil用于非正式文体,常指食物变质。如:Fish spoils quickly in summer。(鱼在夏天极易变质。) molder用于指物体缓慢、逐步地腐朽。如:Old buildings molder away.(老房子渐渐腐烂了。) disintegrate意指把某物从整体变为碎片或一个个部分。如:rocks disintegrated by frost and rain(被霜和雨蚀裂成碎块的岩石)。 decompose指将物质分解为其构成成分。如:Water can be decomposed(be decomposed)into hydrogen and oxygen.(水可分解成氧和氧。)该词还可用来替代rot,使语气略显委婉。 在给出答案之前,首先将该题中的几个语法术语解释一下。 The sentence fragment:片断句。一个合乎语法的完整句子必须具有主语和谓语这两种基本成分。从结构上来说,它应该是可以独立运用的语言单位。片断句是指像短语、从句、同位语以及其他诸如此类不能够独立使用的语言单位。写作时若错误地使用标点符号.将这类不能独立使用的语法结构当成句子分列出来,那便叫做片断句,练习中的第1、第3和第4句就是这样的非完整句,即片断句。 The run-on sentence:误用逗号连接句。该断句的地方没有正确地使用标点符号断句,而将两个或两个以上结构上各自独立完整而又互不从属的句子融合在一起成为一个不合语法、结构松散的句子称融合句。如果两个完整的句子中间只用逗号隔开而被错误地并成一个句子,这种句子便叫误用逗号连接句,练习中的第2句即是。The dangling modifier:垂悬修饰语。由非谓语动词(分词、动名词、不定式)组成的短语若使用不当,与其所修饰的成分没有实质上的联系,这种结构便叫垂悬修饰语。垂悬修饰语并非语法上的错误,只是修辞上的毛病,但仍应避免使用这样的结构,尤其是不要使用那些会产生歧义、引起误解的垂悬修饰语。练习中的第5、6、7、8句均含垂悬修饰语。 The illogical or faulty parallelism:误用平行句法。误用平行句法指用平行结构来表达并非平行的思想内容。这是应该避免的修辞上的毛病。不能将which或who引导的从句用and 与主句相联。关联连词(both…and,either…or等)只能用于联接句中起同一语法作用的平行成分。练习中的第9、10、11、12句都是误用平行结构的例句。 The shift in point of view:角度转换。不必要的甚至错误的角度转换是应该避免的。若非必须如此。一般不由主动语态转换成被动语态。人称及单复数也不应随便转换。练习中的第13、14、15句都是角度转换的例子。练习中的错句可改正如下:The basketball game was canceled because half of the players were in bed with flu. These snakes are dangerous. However,most snakes are quite harmless. 3.Looking out toward the horizon,she Saw only the old cabin in which Mary was born,a single cottonwood that had escaped the drought and the apparently boundless expanse of sunburned prairie. 4.We knew that although the documents have been stolen they have not yet been seen by a foreign agent. 5.Last year,after I had graduated from high school.my father put me to work in his office. 6.To appreciate the poem,one must read it aloud. 7.1 missed that film because l had to stay home to help my mother wash clothes last Sunday. 8.Driving across the state,one saw many beautiful lakes. 9.Unselfish people are not only happier but also more successful. 1O.I finally realized that my daydreaming was not making me beautiful and slender or bringing me friends. 11.He is a man of wide experience and also of great popularity among the farmers. 12.I am interested in electronics,which is a new field and which offers interesting opportunities 10 one who knows science.
