我们劝(试图劝服)他别谈了但他不听。

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”。

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。
