高二英语相近词汇比较,你还傻傻分不清楚?
in time, on time
(1) in time 除了译作“及时”,还可译作“最终”或“总有一天”。

她的及时帮助使我省了很多时间。
(2) on time,意为“准时”

time 组成的词组已学过的还有: at a time (一次), in no time (立刻), at that (the) time(那时), at times (有时), at any time (在任何时候)等。
persuade, advise
两个词都有“劝”之意,persuade表示结果,advise只强调动作。

我们劝(试图劝服)他别谈了但他不听。

我劝服他戒了烟。现在他看上去更健康了。
[注意] persuade 表示“说服某人做/不做某事”除了persuade sb. to / not to do...结构,还有persuade sb. into doing sth. / out of doing sth. 如:
He persuaded me into leaving soon.
他劝服我马上离开。
dead, deadly, dying
三个词都可以作形容词,但含义各不相同。dead意为“死了”,反义词是alive,表示死亡状态;deadly意为“致命的”表示抽象意义;dying意为“临死的”。
The dog has been dead for hours.
这条狗死了几个小时了。
That is a deadly snake.

[注意] dead,dying可在前面加 the 作名词用;deadly还有“死气沉沉”之意。如:

当时死者 (快死的人) 正从现场被抬走。
The lecture is deadly. Many began to leave.
演讲太沉闷了。许多人开始离开。
observe, watch
当“观察”来讲时,observe相当于watch carefully,尤其用于实验或研究等场合。具体来说,observe含有“察觉到”的意思,watch意为“盯着看”。
watch 还含有“观看(比赛、电视)”等,而observe没有此意。另外,watch还有“照料”之意,相当于take care of。还有“当心”之意,相当于be careful with。
She has observed the stars all her life.
她一生都在观察星星。
I'll watch the baby while you are away.
你不在时,由我照料你女儿。
