52.relationship與relation
relationship和relation都是指人或事物之間的聯(lián)系。relationship指人時含義是有著很深感情的緊密關系,如:her relationship with her husband;這兩個詞都可以指相互關照、互為依賴的事物,如:the relation/relationship between temperature and humidity溫度和濕度的關系。如果指人和組織之間的一種比較正規(guī)或松散的關系,就多用relations,如:The local community has good relations with the police. / Relations betweenour countries are improving. comrade同志,志同道合者,顯然不對。
53.recall與remind
recall和remind 容易混淆,也是經常出現(xiàn)的考點,它們的區(qū)別如下:
① recall,bring (sth/sb) back into the mind,recollect 使想起,使回憶
例如: I can't recall his name. 我想不起他的名字
She recalled that he had left early. 她回憶起他已經早早走了。
② remind,inform (sb) of a fact,or tell(sb) to do sth he may have forgotten,提醒……要做
例如: Do I have to remind you yet again?還要我再一次提醒你嗎?
Travellers are reminded that malaria tablets are advisable. 旅客被提醒最好服用防虐疾病藥片。
54.due to, owing to與thanks to
目前普遍認為due to與owing to為同義詞,但用法不同。
due to可用在be之后,如:His lateness was due to the very heavy traffic on the motorway.她遲到是因高速公路上車輛過多所致。
due to也可用作狀語,而owing to只用作狀語,如:He was late owing to /due to the very heavy traffic.因交通擁擠,他遲到了。
due to可直接用在名詞后:Accidents due to driving at high speed were very commonthat weekend.在那個周末因高速駕駛造成的交通事故很多。
thanks to相當于“on account of; because of因為”,多用于褒義。
