托福考试中容易用混的词(2)

Mr. Smith is a lawyer, but Mr. Thompson is not my attorney.

counsel是指给当事人出主意并代当事人在法庭说话的法律顾问或辩护律师，在

法庭上，法官称呼参与审讯的律师也用counsel。

由于lawyer一词使用太多，加上西方社会对律师时有讥讽和诽闻，这个词多少带

有贬义，因此律师一般自称attorney。实际上这三个词经常可以互换。

avenge, revenge

avenge更多地含有“伸张正义”的意义

revenge侧重“报复”

用avenge时，主语往往不是受害者;受害者或具体事件作为avenge的宾语。

revenge，主语通常是受害者本人，因此后可接反身代词，

He revenged himself.

banquet, feast

从词源上看，banquet原意是bench(长凳)，古时西方人同坐在长凳上吃喝就是

“宴会”了，出席者一般有一定的身份，因而banquet带有正式和庄重的意味。因此

banquet多用于宴请外国首脑或较正式的公务、商务宴请。

feast则用于娱乐性的宴请，或家宴。

base, basis, foundation

base做名词时意为“底部”、“底座”等，多用于具体事物。

basis一般用于抽象事物。

base也可用于抽象事物，如：the base of a theory(理论基础)，这时它和

basis区别不大，然而basis在现代英语中用得越来越广泛。尤以on a .. basis为

甚：on a countract basis (合同制)foundation指具体事物时和base相似，但

一般指高大建筑物的基础;用于指抽象事物时与basis相似。无论指哪一种，

foundation 均给人以坚实和牢固的感觉。

bona fide, bona fides

bona fide: adv. adj. in good faith

bona-fide enquiries 诚意的询问

bona fides: n. good faith

His bona fides is beyond dou我是远方的一颗尘埃

capital ,capitol

capital: the seat of government 首都、首府

capitol: the buliding in which the government sits 政府大楼

the Capitol --- 美国国会大厦

chef , cook

chef 来自法语，似乎身价更高一些，多指大酒楼的厨师

cook 源于古英语，多指一般的厨师或炊事人员

childish , childlike

childish 孩子气的，指孩子不如人意的地方，如不懂事、幼稚、傻气等，带有

贬义

childlike 孩子般的，多指孩子讨人喜欢的方面，如天真、纯洁、真诚等

company , firm

根据英美企业法，firm只是指partnership(合伙公司)或unincorporated

business(非责任有限公司)，

company则可指corporation(责任有限公司)。

complement, compliment

complement: v. (使)完成、补充、补足 n. 补充物

compliment v. n. 表扬、赞美

comprehend understand

understand是深度和广度都超过comprehend的“理解”

You may comprehend every word in this passage, but you may not

understand its overall meaning.

consistent ,persistent

consistent: adj. 前后一致的，始终如一的

persistent: adj. 坚持不懈的， 锲而不舍的

constrain ,restrain

constrain: 强迫、迫使

restrain: 束缚、限制行动

记忆要诀：con-前缀一般都有“把。。。聚集/汇拢在一起”的意念，带有强制性

的感觉，因此constrain 是“强迫、迫使”re-前缀一般是指“向后的运动”

discreet. discrete, discretion

discreet /di’skrit, di’skri:t/: a. (of people or their

behaviour) careful and polite, esp. in what one chooses (not) to say;

showing good sense and judgement a discreet

silence,opposite(反义词):indiscreet

discontinuous

discretion: n. (1) the quality of being discreet (2) the ability
