toemeagain.就这样吧，我的升职再也没指望了，我的老板甚至不想再见到

我。That’snothingmorewecando.就这样吧，我们也再没有别的办

法。

guished,distinctive,distinct

这三个词词形相近，但意思有很大的差别，不能互换使用。

1)distinguished指“卓越的；杰出的；著名的”。

例如：Hisgrandfatherhadbeenadistinguisheduniversityprofessor.他的祖父曾

是一位杰出的大学教授。

2)distinctive指“（特征、性格或外表）独特的，有明显不同的”。强调“表示

差别的”、“有特色的”、“特殊的”。

例如：Irenehadaverydistinctivevoice.艾琳有一个非常独特的声音。Canyou

findthedistinctivewatermarksofthisstamp你能看到这枚邮票上明显的水印吗

PupilsinHongKongusuallyhavedistinctivebadgesontheirschooluniforms.在香

港，小学生的校服上常戴有颇具特色的徽章。

3)distinct表示“分明的；明了的；清楚的”。

例如：Ihavethedistinctfeelingthatmyfrienddidnotrealizewhatwashappening.

我明显感到我朋友并未察觉所发生的一切。

ThephotoyoutookinHongKongCulturalCentreisnotdistinctenough.你在香港文

化中心拍的那张照片不够清晰。

Shehasadistinctpronunciation.她的发音清楚。

Thereisadistinctsmellofsmokeinmyroom.我的房间里有一股明显的香烟味。

distinct的另一个词义是“明显不同的；有区别的”。例如：Ourinterestswere

quite

distinctfromthoofthem.我们的兴趣与他们的兴趣截然不同。

现将distinct和distinctive用在一个句子里，以便区分：Oneofthedistinctive

featuresofthisbookisitsdistinctillustrations.这本书很明显的特点之一就是其具

有清楚明了的图解。

im,claim

1)proclaim是正式宣告或公开宣告，“宣告”的中文意思比“声明”要严肃。

例如：Thegovernmenthasproclaimedanewlaw.政府已公布了一项新法令。

Theyproclaimedthathewasatraitor.他们宣称他是叛徒。Theringingbells

proclaimedthebirthoftheprince.响亮的钟声宣布了王子的诞生。

2)claim是根据权利声明，根据权利要求索赔，根据权利认领。

(1)声称；断言；主张。例如：Theyclaimtohavediscoveredacureforthe

dia.他们声称已经发现了治疗此病的方法。Sheclaimedthattheringwas

stolen,notlost.她声言那只戒指是被偷的,而不是遗失的。

(2)要求；索赔。例如：Theoldmanclaimedtheland.老人要求得到这块土地。I

claimpaymentfrommyfriend.我要求我的朋友付款。

是动词expo的名词形式，动词expo常用于短语be/getexpodto中，表

示“接触；体验”。

例如：Somechildrenareneverexpodtoclassicalmusic.有些孩子从来没有接触

过古典音乐。

Havingbeenexpodtoallkindsofdangersintheforest,thegirlfelthelplessand

begantocry.那个女孩在森林里体验了各种危险后，感到很无助，就哭了起来。

te,abundant

1)adequate表示“在数量或质量上足以满足特定的标准”，强调刚好够用、没

有多余。

例如：Hedoesn’tearnalargesalarybutitisadequateforhisneeds.他挣钱不

多，但也够用了。

2)abundant表示“充裕；绰绰有余”，强调数量很多或充足有余。例如：We

haveabundantproofofhisguilt.我们有他犯罪的充分证据。Collocationnote:In

Paragraph7,wehavetwocollocationpairswiththesameword:advanced/proper

vocabularyforourattention.

,adapt

1)当表示“适应…环境”时，adjust和adapt差不多。常与to搭配。可以说

adjust(sth./onelf)tosth.和adapt(sth./onelf)tosth.。其中adjust和adapt互

为同义词。例如：OnceyougettotheUnitedStates,youwillhavetoadjust

yourlftoacompletelynewlifestyle.一旦你到了美国，你就需要进行调整，以

适应美国全新的生活方式。

Thechildrenfoundithardtoadapttothenewschool.这些孩子们发现很难适应这

所新学校。

Thebodyadjustsitlftochangesoftemperature.身体会自行适应温度的变化。

Intelligenceekstograsp,manipulate,re-order,andadjust,whileintellect

examines,ponders,wonders,theorizes,criticizesandimagines.智力寻求的是理

解、运用、整合和调节，而才学是审视、思考、探究、形成理论、批判和想

象。

2)adjust作及物动词用时，还有“调节；使…适合；校准”之意，而adapt不

表示此意。例如：adjustaradio(dial)调准收音机的选台指针adjustcolorona

TV调整电视的色彩adjustone’stieinamirror照镜子整理领带adjusta

telescopetoone’yes调节望远镜使之适合眼睛观看adjustaclock调准时钟

3)adapt作及物动词时，还有“（改装）使适合；改编”之意，其同义词是

modify，不是adjust。例如：Theteachingmaterialscanbeadaptedforolder

children.这些教材修订一下可以给大一点的孩子用。Headaptedhisoldcar

enginetotheboat.他把他的旧汽车上的引擎用到那只船上。

cial常与to连用，引出对谁有利、有帮助、有用。

例如：Cyclingishighlybeneficialtohealthandtheenvironment.骑自行车对身体

和环境都大有裨益。

ote:classic,classical

1classic用作形容词表示“经典的；精彩的；一流的”。例如：

DeathontheNileisoneoftheclassicworksofAgathaChristie.《尼罗河上的惨

案》是阿加莎•克里斯蒂的经典作品之一。

口语中也会用到classic这个词。当你看到一场精彩的演出时，就可以说“That’s

classic!”来表达赞美。classic用作形容词也表示“典型的；标准的”。例如：

Londonistheclassicexampleofthescatteredcity.伦敦是标准分散型的城市。

ThisstatementwasaclassicillustrationofBritishpoliteness.这项陈述是对英国礼

貌的一个典型说明。classic也可用作名词，表示“文学名著；经典作品；杰

作”。例如：

WehaveallthestandardclassicsofHayaoMiyazakiathome.我们家有宫崎骏的所

有的经典作品。

2classical不能用作名词，只能用作形容词，表示“古典的；经典的”。例如：

Ispendalotoftimereadingandlisteningtoclassicalmusic.我花了很多时间阅读和

聆听古典音乐。

ClassicalmusicismusicwrittenbycomporssuchasMozartandBeethoven.像莫

扎特和贝多芬所创作的音乐称为古典音乐。

莫扎特和贝多芬所创作的音乐属于古典音乐(classicalmusic),但这些古典音乐经

久不衰，有永久的意义和价值，所以这些音乐也可称为经典的音乐（classic

music）。反之，在前面有一例中说可口可乐瓶子的设计是精彩的，一流的，所

以是经典（classic）之作，但很明显可口可乐瓶子的设计不是古典的

（classical）设计。所以，经典的（classic）作品不一定就是古典的（classical）

作品。
