九年級(jí)英語(yǔ)考前復(fù)習(xí)之如何辨析詞匯
5. alone/ lonely
lonely 與alone的意思比較接近,但在使用時(shí)有所區(qū)別:
(1)lonely用作形容詞,意思是"孤單的;寂寞的"??芍感撵`上的寂寞,也可指偏僻的地點(diǎn)。在句中既可作表語(yǔ),也可作定語(yǔ)。
(2)alone 可作形容詞和副詞,意思是"單獨(dú);獨(dú)自",不指心理上寂寞的感覺(jué)。
She was taken to a lonely island, lived alone, but she never felt lonely.
她被帶到一個(gè)荒島上,自己居住,但她從不感到寂寞。
6. before long/ long before
(1)before long 作“不久以后”講,切不要按字面譯為“長(zhǎng)時(shí)間以前”或“好久以前”。如:
We hope to finish our experiment before long. 我們希望不久(以后)就把實(shí)驗(yàn)做完。
(2)long before 作"很久以前"講。原意為"……以前很久",故也可譯為"老早"。long before 跟before long
不同,前者在其后面可以接名詞或一個(gè)從句;當(dāng)上下文明確時(shí),名詞或從句還可以省略。Before long 則沒(méi)有上述搭配用法。
They began the test yesterday, but we had made experiment long before.
我們昨天開(kāi)始做實(shí)驗(yàn),但我們?cè)谀且郧昂芫镁鸵呀?jīng)做準(zhǔn)備了。
7. as/ when/ while

(2)When和as一樣都是連詞,注意它們的不同。如when"當(dāng)……的時(shí)候"(一般表示動(dòng)作緊接著發(fā)生);"那時(shí)"(等立連詞,前有逗號(hào)分開(kāi))
I stayed till sunset, when it began to rain. 我一直呆到太陽(yáng)下山,那時(shí)天開(kāi)始下雨了。
(3)while是"當(dāng)……時(shí)候;和……同時(shí)"(強(qiáng)調(diào)同時(shí)發(fā)生,一般連續(xù)時(shí)間較長(zhǎng))

10. get/ turn/ become
這三個(gè)詞都可作系動(dòng)詞用,表示狀態(tài)的變化,后跟表語(yǔ),但三個(gè)詞的用法稍有不同。get強(qiáng)調(diào)情感、氣候和環(huán)境的變化;turn強(qiáng)調(diào)色彩的變化;而become則強(qiáng)調(diào)職務(wù)、職稱等的變化。如:
