你应该 accept一份邀请还是 except呢?你在餐后吃的是 dessert还是
desert?英语中有太多单词意思容易混淆,以下十对常用英文单词帮助你理清头绪。
Dessert & Desert
Dessert是一种甜点,而the desert是指的是又热又干的沙漠。
Accept & Except
Accept意思是接受或是同意某事物,而except则恰恰相反,指的是排除的意思。
There & their
前一个单词是地点副词而后者是物主代词。例如Their house is over there.
Principle and principal
Principle是信条、价值观或是基本原则的意思,而principal意思是学校的校长,或是主要的事物。前一个单词是个名词而后一个是动词,因此你可以advise
someone by giving them good advice.
Borrow &lend
To borrow意思是借贷某物,而to lend意思是借出某物。 例如Can I borrow your car? Sorry, I can't
lend it to you today.
Despite & although
这两个单词意思相近但是用法不同。Despite是介词而although是连词。例如 He won the race despite his
injury. He won the race although he had an injury.
Affect & effect
前一个单词是动词而后一个是名词,例如The effect of the war is enormous; it has affected all
sectors of the economy.
Personal & personnel
你的personal详细信息包括你的名字,年龄和国籍,而 personnel意思是公司的职员。
Assure & ensure
To assure某人意思是打消他们的疑惑或使他们安心,而ensure意思是确保(某事发生)。例如I assured him that you
would be there, so please ensure that you get to the meeting on time.
