摘要:  26.alter,change   作不及物动词时,两者可通用。   作及物动词时,alter是对局部,表面的改变,而change则是对本质的,全面的,彻底的改变。如:Can you alter the dress?(你会改做这件衣服吗?)Can you change the dress?(你能给我更换这件衣服吗?)   27.altogether,all together   altogether总计,总共。如:Altogether there are six of us. (我们总计六人。

正常秩序或一时的安定受到破坏,精力一时不能集中。如:I am sorry to disturb you.

  32.answer,reply,respond

  用作动词,都可表"回答","答复".

  answer是常用词,后可接letter(回信),question(回答问题),doorbell(开门),telephone(接电话),advertisement(应征广告)等。

  reply较正式,一般只作不及物动词,可与to连用。如:He has replied to my letter.(他回答了我信中提的问题。)

  respond作"回答"解,用得较少,也同to 搭配。如:He quickly responded to the question. (他很快就回答了问题。)

  另外,respond还可表"对……反应","响应".

  33. appreciate,enjoy

  appreciate指对事物有深刻的理解能力并能鉴赏。

  enjoy是一般用语,仅指感官或智力上的满足,"享受"的意味较强。

  34. approve,prove

  approve(1)赞成,同意。如:I don't approve of wasting time.(我不赞成浪费时间。)

  (2)批准,通过。如:The minister approved the building plan. 部长批准了建筑计划。

  prove和approve词形相似,prove是"证明","表明是"等。

  35. argue,debate,dispute

  argue着重"说理","论证","企图说明",且后可接that引导的从句。

  debate着重双方各自陈述理由,尤其是"公开地"、"正式地"辩论。如:The subject was hotly debated.

  dispute着重就分歧进行热烈的"争论",含有"相持不下"或"未得到解决"的意味。如:He disputed with his wife on household expenses.

  36. arise,rise,raise

  arise表无形的东西(如困难,问题等)"出现","发生".

  rise指具体事物的"上升","升起",也是不及物动词。如:The sun rises in the east.(
