1. 辨析 mostly 和 most most 是指“最大程度地”，是 much 的最高级，主要用来
（1）构成多音节形容词或副词的最高级；（2）修饰动词。 例如：the most carefully 最细心地； I like summer most. 我最喜欢夏天。 mostly 指“主要的”，“大部分地”，主要用来修饰
（ (1）be 动词；（2）介词短语。 例如：I write to my mother every week，mostly on Sundays. 我每周都给母亲写信，大部分在星期日写。 2. 辨析 intend，mean 和 design
这组动词的一般含义是“意欲”或“打算”。 intend 强调“意欲”做某一件确定的事，或者“决定”达到某一确定的目的。此外这个词常用于表达“意欲”使某人从事某职业，或“打算”某物用作何种目的。 Erna intends to take short rests every two hours. 欧娜打算每隔两小时休息片刻。 The dictionary is intended for the beginners. 这本词典是为初学者编的。 mean 常常可以和 intend 互换使用。但不强调决心达到某一目的 He always meant to go back one day，but not to stay. 他总想某一天回去，但不住下。 design 强调为达到某目的，事先作过精心安排和仔细考虑。此外，这个词还包含“预谋”、“策划”或“以阴险的手段”达到自己的目的的这一意义。 These peculiar forms not only seemed designed to shock people emotionally，but to give them electric shocks as well! 这些奇怪的造型设计，似乎不仅用来在感情上给人们以强烈的刺激，而且给人以电休克般的刺激。 Did you design this, or did it just happen itself?
3. 辨析：amusing 和 interesting: 这两个词不是同义词，但都含有“引起兴趣的”这一含义。其差别在于：amusing 指在娱乐、嬉戏是有趣的东西给人的感觉，或者在非集中思想工作、学习时某有趣的东西给人们的感觉；interesting 指在任何时候某有趣的事物引起了人的注意。 I had an amusing experience last year. 去年我有过一次好笑的经历。 He is an amusing story-teller. 他讲的故事很使人发笑。 The play was very interesting. I didn't enjoy it. 那出戏很有趣。我没能欣赏。 He got a very interesting job. 他找到了一个自己很感兴趣的工作。 4. 辨析 if 和 whether: if 不能替换 whether 的5种情况 （1）正式文体中，句中有 or not 时： 例如：I wonder whether it is big enough or not. 我不知道他是否够大。 （2）引导主语、表语、同谓语从句： 例如：Whether it is true (or not) remains a question. 他是不是真的还是一个问题。 （3）作介词的宾语： I have not settled the question of whether I'll go back home. 我还没有决定是否要回家去。 （4）放在不定式前，与不定式组成词组： She has not decided whether to go or not. 她还没有决定去还是不去。 5）作 discuss 等词的宾语： We discussed whether we should close the shop. 我们讨论是否该关闭那家商店。 以上是 if 和 whether 表示“是否”之意的区别。此外，if 还有“假如”之意，引导条件状语从句；而 whether 另有“不管、无论”之意，引导让步状语从句。
5. 辨析 fun 和 funny: fun n. 玩笑，嬉戏；娱乐，乐趣，有趣的人（事物）。例如：be fond of fun 爱闹着玩； be full of fun 很好玩，极有趣 Her baby is great fun. 她的婴儿很好玩。I don't see the fun of doing that. 我并不觉得那样做有什么好玩的。 作 adj.? 时为：供娱乐用的，为玩玩用的；有趣的，奇妙的。例如：Fun City 游乐城（纽约是别号）。a fun person 一个有趣的人。 funny adj. 有趣的，好笑的，滑稽的，奇异的，古怪的；n. 滑稽人物 例如：He has funny habit of blinking when talking with others. 他与人谈话时有一种令人可笑的眨眼睛的习惯。 What can that funny noise be? 那奇怪的声响究竟是什么？ 听到这个笑话，每个人都忍不住笑起来。He fell into a hearty laugh.他开心地笑起来。6. laughter 与 laugh 的用法：
laughter n. [u] 笑声，笑
laugh n. [c] 笑声，笑
eg. Hearing the joke, everybody burst into laughter.7.Of course, I would like to reach a wide audience, though I mostly have adults in mind.
mostly adv. 主要地，通常,大部分的他们大部分都相当年轻。
They are ~ fairly young.

Our weather has been ______ warm.主要地，大部分地，通常
adj. 大多数的， most students
adv. (构成最高级）“最……”

2.Life is a comedy to him who thinks and a tragedy to him who feels (English proverb)
3.The test of real comedian is whether you laugh at him before he opens his mouth. 幽默必须以严肃为背景. (Beerbohm 英.比尔博姆)对于认为是喜剧的人,人生便是喜剧;对于觉得人生是悲剧的人,人生便是悲剧. 测试一个真正的喜剧演员时,可能在他开口之前,看你对他笑不笑. (George Nathan 内森.美作家)

1. 辨析 mostly 和 most most 是指“最大程度地”，是 much 的最高级，主要用来
（1）构成多音节形容词或副词的最高级；（2）修饰动词。 例如：the most carefully 最细心地； I like summer most. 我最喜欢夏天。 mostly 指“主要的”，“大部分地”，主要用来修饰
（ (1）be 动词；（2）介词短语。 例如：I write to my mother every week，mostly on Sundays. 我每周都给母亲写信，大部分在星期日写。 2. 辨析 intend，mean 和 design
这组动词的一般含义是“意欲”或“打算”。 intend 强调“意欲”做某一件确定的事，或者“决定”达到某一确定的目的。此外这个词常用于表达“意欲”使某人从事某职业，或“打算”某物用作何种目的。 Erna intends to take short rests every two hours. 欧娜打算每隔两小时休息片刻。 The dictionary is intended for the beginners. 这本词典是为初学者编的。 mean 常常可以和 intend 互换使用。但不强调决心达到某一目的 He always meant to go back one day，but not to stay. 他总想某一天回去，但不住下。 design 强调为达到某目的，事先作过精心安排和仔细考虑。此外，这个词还包含“预谋”、“策划”或“以阴险的手段”达到自己的目的的这一意义。 These peculiar forms not only seemed designed to shock people emotionally，but to give them electric shocks as well! 这些奇怪的造型设计，似乎不仅用来在感情上给人们以强烈的刺激，而且给人以电休克般的刺激。 Did you design this, or did it just happen itself?
3. 辨析：amusing 和 interesting: 这两个词不是同义词，但都含有“引起兴趣的”这一含义。其差别在于：amusing 指在娱乐、嬉戏是有趣的东西给人的感觉，或者在非集中思想工作、学习时某有趣的东西给人们的感觉；interesting 指在任何时候某有趣的事物引起了人的注意。 I had an amusing experience last year. 去年我有过一次好笑的经历。 He is an amusing story-teller. 他讲的故事很使人发笑。 The play was very interesting. I didn't enjoy it. 那出戏很有趣。我没能欣赏。 He got a very interesting job. 他找到了一个自己很感兴趣的工作。 4. 辨析 if 和 whether: if 不能替换 whether 的5种情况 （1）正式文体中，句中有 or not 时： 例如：I wonder whether it is big enough or not. 我不知道他是否够大。 （2）引导主语、表语、同谓语从句： 例如：Whether it is true (or not) remains a question. 他是不是真的还是一个问题。 （3）作介词的宾语： I have not settled the question of whether I'll go back home. 我还没有决定是否要回家去。 （4）放在不定式前，与不定式组成词组： She has not decided whether to go or not. 她还没有决定去还是不去。 5）作 discuss 等词的宾语： We discussed whether we should close the shop. 我们讨论是否该关闭那家商店。 以上是 if 和 whether 表示“是否”之意的区别。此外，if 还有“假如”之意，引导条件状语从句；而 whether 另有“不管、无论”之意，引导让步状语从句。
