2. make/do
这两个词都可以解释为"做",但含义却不同,不能混用.make指做东西或制东西,do指做一件具体的事.
Can you make a paper boat for me?
你能为我做个纸船吗?
He's doing his homework now.他正在做他的作业.
3. say/speak/talk/tell
say:是最口语化的最普通的一个词,意为"说出"、"说道",着重所说的话.如:
"I want to go there by bus" , he said . 他说,"我要坐汽车到那里去."
Please say it in English .请用英语说.
speak : "说话",着重开口发声,不着重所说的内容,一般用作不及物动词 (即后面不能直接接宾语 ) .如:
Can you speak about him? 你能不能说说他的情况?
I don't like to speak like this. 我不喜欢这样说话.
speak 作及物动词解时,只能和某种语言等连用,表达在对话中恰当使用词汇的能力.如:
She speaks English well.她英语说得好.
talk : 与 speak 意义相近,也着重说话的动作,而不着重所说的话,因此,一般也只用作不及物动词,不过,talk 暗示话是对某人说的,有较强的对话意味,着重指连续地和别人谈话.如:
I would like to talk to him about it . 我想跟他谈那件事.
