Which Is Which火眼金睛
bring / take / fetch
这三个词都可表示“拿;带”,但含义及具体用法有区别。
1)bring意为“带来;拿来”,表示从别的地方将某人或某物带到或拿到说话者所在的地点来(由远而近)。例如:
Please ask Uncle Tom to bring you here in August.
2)take与bring的意思相对,意为“带去;拿去”,指从说话者所在地把某人或某物带走或拿走(由近而远)。例如:
Remember to take your books when you leave.
3)fetch意为“去拿来;去请来”(由近而远,再由远而近,指往返动作)。例如:
Can you fetch some more water for me?
specially / especially
二者都表示“专门地;特别地”,修饰动词或介词短语时,二者可以通用,但它们之间也有区别。
1)especially是副词,意为“特别地”, 指有意将某人或某物突出,可修饰形容词或动词,也可以接同位语或状语。例如:
She likes the country, especially in spring.
2)specially也是副词,意为“专门地;特地地”,指为了某个特定的目的而特别地、专门地做某事,强调唯一目的。例如:
This book is specially written for children under ten.
He came here specially to see your sick mother.
join / take part in
二者都表示“参加;参与”,但其用法有区别。
1)join指加入某党派、某组织或某社会团体,或者表示参军、参与某种活动等。例如:
I will never forget the day when I joined the Party.
Will you join us for dinner?
2)take part in指参加群众性活动、会议、劳动、游行等,往往指参加者持有积极的态度,起一部分作用,有时可与join in互换。例如:
Will you take part in the English evening?
All the students took an active part in the cleaning.
listen / hear / sound
1)listen为不及物动词,常用“listen to sb. / sth”, 表示“(专心致志地)听着”,表示“听”这个动作。例如:

2)hear是及物动词,意思是“听见;听到”,表示“听”的结果。例如:

3)sound是系动词,意思是“听起来”,常接形容词作表语。我们还学过一些类似的系动词,如feel,taste,look等。例如:
