turn, alter, become, change, convert, modify, vary

這組詞的共同意思是“改變”“變化”。change和alter有時可以互換。例如:

Whatever we do, we can't change〔alter〕 the facts.不管我們做什么,我們總不能改變事實。

He has changed〔altered〕 a lot since I last saw him.自從上次見面到現(xiàn)在,他變了很多。

The weather changes〔alters〕 almost daily.天氣差不多天天在變。

其區(qū)別是：

1.change在這幾個詞中是最普遍、最不正式的一個,可用于任何變化的過程,而不論變化的性質(zhì)和程度; alter指局部的、表面的、輕微的“改變”“改動”,修改后仍基本上保持原狀; alter和convert都指形式和用途上的局部微小改變; turn指徹底改變,以至面目全非,且常用于朝壞的方向改變; modify指限定在一定范圍內(nèi)的修改或修飾,以使之更完美; vary則指事物或其一部分暫時地或反復(fù)地變化,從而使事物各部分呈現(xiàn)不同外貌和特點。例如:

When matter changes to a substance different from what it was, the change is a chemical change.當(dāng)物質(zhì)變成和原來不同的物質(zhì)時,這種變化是化學(xué)變化。

The plan is O.K. at large, but I suggest it be altered.該計劃總的來說是可以的,但我建議做進(jìn)一步修改。

You'd better modify your tone.你最好緩和一下你的口氣。

He will have to modify his views if he wants to be elected.他如果想當(dāng)選,就得把觀點變得明朗些。

turn, become, come, go, grow

這組詞均可用作系動詞,表示“變成”。其區(qū)別是：

1.come多指向好的方向轉(zhuǎn)變; go往往指向壞的方面轉(zhuǎn)變; become指向好的(也可指向壞的)方面發(fā)展, turn是正式用語,指向好的,也指向壞的方面轉(zhuǎn)變。試比較:

When did that style of dress come into fashion?

那種式樣的衣服是什么時候時興的?

When did that style of dress go out of fashion?

那種式樣的衣服是什么時候不時興的?

2.come的主語往往是人; become的主語可以是人或物; 而go的主語多是物。

3.come的表語通常是形容詞; become的表語可以是形容詞、代詞或名詞(須加不定冠詞); go和grow的表語為形容詞; turn的表語可以是形容詞或名詞(不加不定冠詞)。

turn, depend, hang, hinge

這組詞都可表示“依賴”“依…而定”。其區(qū)別是：

depend側(cè)重思想上的懸念,無法進(jìn)行預(yù)測,常指對某物的未來情景捉摸不定; hinge側(cè)重思想上的懸念; hang不太側(cè)重事件的捉摸不定或沒把握的成功等; turn側(cè)重旋轉(zhuǎn)和對變化的、偶然的東西的依賴。例如:

Everything hinges on where we go next.一切要看我們下一步去哪里而定。

The future of the company hangs on the outcome of his meeting.公司的前途取決于這次會議的結(jié)果。

turn into, become

這兩個詞(組)的共同意思是“變成”。其區(qū)別是：

become著重目前狀態(tài); turn into著重改變用途。例如:

The storeroom has become a workshop.

庫房成了車間了。

The storeroom has been turned into a workshop.

庫房變成了車間。

turn out, bear, produce, yield

這四個詞(組)的意思相近,都表示“生產(chǎn)出”。其區(qū)別是：

bear表示“產(chǎn)仔或結(jié)果實”,可引申指“再生產(chǎn)”; produce的用法更廣,可指生產(chǎn)一切有形的或無形的東西; yield也表示生產(chǎn),但強(qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)果與回報,而不是所做的努力; turn out強(qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)果,但同時還側(cè)重先前付出的勞動與艱辛。例如:

The soil bears good cotton.

這種土壤出產(chǎn)優(yōu)質(zhì)棉花。

Gas can be produced from coal.

煤氣可從煤中提制。

His business yields big profits.

他的生意帶來巨大的利潤。

This factory can turn out 100 cars a day.

這家工廠每天能生產(chǎn)一百輛汽車。

turn out, prove

這兩者的共同意思是“證明”。其區(qū)別在于:prove的主語可以是人,也可以是事物; 而turn out的主語一般是物,有時含有“意外”的含義,常用于口語中。例如:

His first attempt proved successful.他的第一次嘗試證明是成功的。

They proved that he was guilty.他們證明他有罪。

As it has turned out, there was no need to worry.結(jié)果證明當(dāng)初不必?fù)?dān)心。

下面兩組中的兩個句子意思相同:

They took turns at watching the baby.

They took turns watching the baby.

他們輪流看守嬰兒。

We took turns with them standing guard.

We took turns with them at standing guard.

我們與他們輪流站崗。

become最普通用詞，作為連系動詞，指從一個狀態(tài)向另一個狀態(tài)的變化。

get常指某人或某物有意無意地獲得引起變化的因素，結(jié)果使變成另一狀態(tài)。

grow常指逐漸地變成新狀態(tài)，強(qiáng)調(diào)漸變的過程。

turn側(cè)重指變得與原來截然不同，有時含貶義。

go作為連系動詞，通常與形容詞連用，指進(jìn)入某種狀態(tài)，從而發(fā)生變化，多指不好的狀態(tài)。

come側(cè)重變化的經(jīng)過或過程，多用于不良情況。

change，alter，vary，convert，modify，transform，turn

這些動詞均含有“變化，改變”之意。

change指任何變化，完全改變，強(qiáng)調(diào)與原先的情況有明顯的不同。

alter常指輕微的改變，強(qiáng)調(diào)基本上保持原物、原狀的情況下所進(jìn)行的部分改變。

vary暗示不規(guī)則或斷斷續(xù)續(xù)地變。

convert指進(jìn)行全部或局部改變以適應(yīng)新的功能或用途。指信仰或態(tài)度時，強(qiáng)調(diào)較激烈、大的改變。

modify強(qiáng)調(diào)起限定作用的變化或變更。指細(xì)小的變化，常含“緩和、降調(diào)”的意味。

transform指人或物在形狀、外觀、形式、性質(zhì)等方面發(fā)生的徹底變化，失去原狀成為全新的東西。

turn指外形、顏色、氣味、性質(zhì)等方面的變化，比change更通俗。

rotate，revolve，roll，spin，turn，whirl，circle

這些動詞均有“轉(zhuǎn)動、旋轉(zhuǎn)”之意。

rotate側(cè)重指物體圍繞自己的軸或中心旋轉(zhuǎn)，即自轉(zhuǎn)。
