詞義辨析

v. (動詞)
drop by, drop in on
  • drop by和 drop in on都可表示“順便訪問”。其區別是:
  • drop by后常接某地; drop in on后常接某人。例如:
  • Drop by my place whenever you like.如果你愿意,隨時可來。
  • I just decided to drop in on you one hour ago.我一小時前才決定來看看你。
  • drop, descend, fall, sink
  • 這四個詞都可表示物體向下降落。它們之間的區別是:
  • 1.sink指在空氣或水中垂直下降、下沉; descend則通常指沿斜線或斜坡下降; 而drop與fall均可指急速地向下墜落,可直可斜。例如:
  • The walk descends sharply.小路下傾得很厲害。
  • The ship struck against the rocks and sank.那船觸礁沉沒了。
  • We saw an apple falling〔dropping〕 down from the tree yesterday.昨天我們看見一個蘋果從樹上掉下來。
  • 2.drop指物體由于重力從高處往下落; fall指物體由于不明原因或物體本身失去平衡而向下降落,有自然下落的意思。例如:
  • She dropped the cup.她把杯子弄掉了。
  • Leaves fall in autumn.秋天樹葉下落。
  • 3.drop通常是有意識、有目的地下落; 而fall則往往是無意識地下落。例如:
  • The enemy planes dropped bombs.敵機投下了炸彈。
  • Rain is falling fast.雨下得很大。
  • 4.drop引申可表示物價的降落; sink還可指精力或意識逐漸喪失。例如:
  • The price of oil has dropped sharply.石油價格暴跌。
  • His heart sank.他感到沮喪。
  • 5.drop一般用作及物動詞,偶爾也用作不及物動詞; fall則通常用作不及物動詞。
  • drop in, call, see, visit
  • 這組詞均有“拜訪”之意。它們之間的區別是:
  • 1.從語氣上說:visit是正式用語; call比較正式; drop in則是日常用語,有“順便”“不定期”的意味; see一般用于親友間的訪問。例如:
  • The foreign delegation is visiting in Beijing.外國代表團正在北京訪問。
  • The Britain Ambassador called on Premier Zhou Enlai yesterday.英國大使昨天拜會了周恩來總理。
  • He sometimes drops in to see me in the evening.他有時晚上來看我。
  • I'll go to see my parents tomorrow.明天我要去看望父母。
  • 2.在使用場合上:call和visit都可用于社交和公務,但醫生到病人家出診則要用visit。例如:
  • I visited〔called〕 on the foreign guests yesterday.昨天我走訪了外國客人。
  • In China, restaurant and hotel kitchens are visited〔called〕 on regularly by officers of public health.在中國,衛生人員經常檢查飯店和旅館的廚房。
  • The doctor is out.He went to visit an emergency case.醫生不在。他有急病號,出診去了。
  • 3.call的時間一般都很短暫,而visit逗留的時間則較長。試比較以下兩個句子:
  • I shall call on you this afternoon.
  • 今天下午我去拜訪您。
  • When he visited us last year he told us a story every evening.
  • 去年他來我們這兒作客時,每晚都給 我們講一個故事。
  • 4.visit在英國較少用,一般情況下都用call。如果用了visit,則含有“逗留幾天”或“出于公務〔職務〕的要求”的意思。
  • 5.社交場合用的“名片”英美說法不同。美國稱calling card,英國稱visiting card。
  • 下面兩句意思相反:
  • He dropped the habit of smoking.
  • 他改掉了抽煙的習慣。
  • He dropped into the habit of smoking.
  • 他戀上了抽煙。
  • descend,drop,fall,sink
  • 這些動詞都表示“落下,下降”之意。
  • descend通常指沿斜線或斜坡下降。
  • drop指物體從一定高度落下。
  • fall與drop同義,指突然或猛烈地降落,但fall也可指任何下落,同高度或形式無關。
  • sink指在空氣或水中垂直下降、下沉。
  • 常見錯誤
