上一期谈过了形式义异的混淆词,这期要谈义同形异的常用词。
1.Over / above
Over和above这两个介词的意思是在.上面。我们可以说(1)The sky is above our heads,也可以说(2)The sky is over our heads.我们也可以说(3)He Spread his handkerchief over his face.但不能说*(4)He spread his handkerchief above his face. 同样的,可以说(5)John has travelled all over the world以及 (6)The King reigns over a great empire,但是(5)和(6)里的 over却不可以above取代。
2.bring / take
Bring和take的意思相同,但用法并不一样。
Bring指东西向说话的人的方向去,如:
(7) Bring me the book, please.
Take指东西向说话的人离去,如:
(8)Take the dictionary away from me .
由此可见,bring和take都表示东西要移动,只是方向不同:bring向说话者而来;take向说话者而去。
3.Certain / sure
Certain和sure都含确定之意,只是在句中的用法有些不同。下列第九到十一的句子都对,但第十二的句子就不行了:
(9) We are certain to come to the party. / Tom is sure to come today.
(10) I am not certain whether I will be able to do it. / Are you sure that you will do it?
(11) It is certain that Jason will leave me.
*(12) It is sure that Jason will leave me.
4. rob / Steal
虽然这两个字都是及物动词,但用法不同,不可互相取代。
Steal的宾语通常是被偷的东西,如钱,手表之类。Rob 的宾语必须是人或地方。如:
(13) A thief entered her house and stole her valuables.
(14) A stranger robbed a passer-by.
(15) Who robbed the bank last night?
5.chase / follow
这两个动词,一个是追逐,另一个是跟随,都是人家在前,他在后,但用起来不一样;chase不但是动词,也是名词,如:
(16)The cat chased the mouse and caught it soon after.
(17)The puplis followed the teacher to the classroom.
(18)There was a thrilling car chase in the film.
(19) Social unrest follows widespread unemployment.
(20) I could not follow what he was saying.
