1、常用词汇和短语辨析1.about;around;round做副词时都含有“四处”、“遍地”的意思。about系常用词,如:look about 四处看。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。round和around在非正式用法中可以互换,但一般用round时更简练。在正式用于中,一般用round指“旋转”,而用around指“处处”,“到处”。l另外,英国人用round的地方,美国人倾向于用around,如:Winter comes round.(BE.)l
2、Winter comes around.(AE.)l即学即练l用around,round和about填空:l1.She turned_ at such a noise.l2.I have been looking for it all _.l3.They looked_,but saw nothing.round/aroundaroundabout/aroundl2.above all;after all;at all;in alllabove all意为“尤其是”、“首先”、“最重要的是”,常位于句首或句中,做插入语,起强调作用。lafter all意为“毕竟”、“终究”、“终归”、“到底”
3、,在句子位置较灵活。可位于句首、句中或句末。lat all用于否定句时,意为“丝毫;根本”;用于疑问句时,意为“究竟,到底”;用于条件句时,常译为“当真,实在”。用于肯定句中,表示说话人的某种情绪或情感(如怀疑或惊奇等),意为“竟然”等。in all意为“总共,共计”。l1.A clock must_ keeps good time.l2._,your birthday is only two weeks away.l3.He is,_,a small child.l4.He doesnt like you_.l5.I was surprised at his coming_.l6.There

10、ith7.allow;permit;letl三者均可作“允许”解,但各有侧重:allow和permit在许多情况下可以通用,但permit较allow正式,含有“积极地、从正面允许”的意义。Allow重在“允许”或“容许”,偏重默许,也可表示客气的请求。注:allow和permit常用于allow/permit sb.to do sth.或 allow/permit doing sth.结构中。let 作“允许”或“让”解,主要用于口语,一般可与allow互换。作“允许”解时,常暗含“听任”、“默许”之意;作“让”解时,常含“祈使”或“建议”之意。注意:let之后作宾补的不定式不带to,且不可

12、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: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。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。注意:如果表语是单数名词,要省略a。though也可这么用。though可以放在句末,表示“但是,然而”,although却不能。lalthough只能来陈述“事实”,不能表示“假设”。l因此可以说even
13、 though“即使”、as thoughl“好像=as if”,不能说even although或 as although。l即学即练l1.I believe you are on dutyeven _ youre in plain clothes.l2._he believes it,yet he will not act.thoughAlthough/Thoughl3.Young _ he is,he knows a lot.l4.Child _he is,he can speak two foreign languages.l5.They said they would come;th
