1、agree to 和agree with
例句:

2、arrive、get 和reach.
例句:

辨析和讲解:
arrive为不及物动词,汉译为“到达、抵达”。后面后宾语,要用at或in。一般到小地方用at,到大城市用in.
get为不及物动词。get to =arrive at (or in) 汉译为“到达、抵达”。
reach 是及物动词。reach = get to =arrive at(or in)
above 和 over,under 和 below

4、because和because of
例句:

As I am ill, I won’t go. 因为我有病,我将不去了。
辨析和讲解:
1.because语气最强,回答why,一般译为“因为”。由because引导的原因状语从句可放在主句前,也可放在主句后。放在主句前,中间要用逗号。
Since 引导的原因状语从句语气稍弱,一般译为“既然”。as引导的原因状语从句语气更弱,一般译为“由于”。
2.汉语中常说:“因为……所以”,而在英语中because、since和as均不可与so连用。

例句:
We were(got)ready. to start.我们准备好了出发。
I didn’t prepare today’s lesson. 我没有准备今天的课。

10、bring 、take和fetch
例句:
Take this empty cup away and bring me a cup of tea. 把这只空杯子拿走,给我拿杯茶来。
Fetch me the dictionary. 把那本字典给我拿来。
辨析和讲解:
bring译为:“拿来、带来”。表示单程。

Spend的主语必须是“人”,宾语是“时间”或“金钱”。要用on 接名词或用in(通常省略)接-ing的形式。

辨析和讲解:

like和the same as
例句:

The coat is the same as that one. 这件衬衫和那件衬衫一样。.

the same ……as和as……as
例句:

used to和get(be)used to
例句:
He used to live in the country. 他过去住在乡下。
He was used to living in the country. 他习惯在乡下住。
辨析和讲解:
1、used to是过去常常……,be (get)used to是习惯于……。
2、used to中的used是动词,be used to中的used是形容词。
3、used to中的to是动词不定式,后接动词原形,be used to中的to是介词,后接动名词。
4、used to仅有过去形式,表达过去习惯性的动作。be used to可用于过去、现在和将来等。
5、used to没有其他形式可以替代,be used to的be可用get来替代。
worth和worthy
例句:
The book is worth reading. 这本书值得读。
The book is worthy of reading. 这本书值得读。
The book is worthy to be read. 这本书值得读。
辨析和讲解:
