高一英语必修2 Module 2词汇辨析

1. treat; cure

1) treat vt.意为“治疗,医治”,强调治疗的过程或动作,不涉及治疗的结果。其名词形式为treatment,意为“治疗,医治,疗程”。如:

The doctor treated me with a new drug. 医生用一种新药给我治病。

The patient is under treatment. 病人正在治疗之中。

2) cure vt.意为“治愈,痊愈”,特别强调治疗后的结果,即病已经治好。cure还可作名词意为“治疗法,治疗药”,此时为可数名词。如:

The new medicine cured his skin disease. 这种新药治好了他的皮肤病。

At present, there is still no effective cure for cancer. 目前,仍然没有一种有效的治疗癌症的疗法。

2. as a result; as a result of

as a result 意为“因此”,是一个副词短语表示结果,一般置于句首起承上启下的作用。而as a result of意为“因为,由于”,是一个介词短语。试比较:

He was late for work again as a result of the flat tire. 因为车胎爆裂,他又一次迟到了。

As a result, people in many African countries have both health and money problems. 因此,非洲的许多国家的人既有病又没钱。

3. likely; possible

1) likely adj. 意为“可能的,有希望的”。其后常接不定式。主语可以是人也可以是物。其可能性较possible大的多。常用于 ...be likely to do... It is likely that从句”的句型中。如:

Their team is not likely to win the game. 他们队不可能赢得这场比赛。

Its likely that we will go out for a picnic tomorrow. = We are likely to go out for a picnic tomorrow. 我们很可能明天出去野餐。

2) possible adj. 意为“可能的,可能发生的”,表示事物客观上有可能发生,不表示某人做某事的可能。也就是说,当possible作表语时,句子的主语不能是人,只能是事或物。常用于 It is possible for sb. to do sth. It is possible that从句”的句型中。如:

It is possible for him to complete the project on time. 他按时完成这项工程是可能的。

Its possible but not probable that his illness will get worse. 他的病情有可能恶化,但是可能性很小。

【拓展】 possible还常用于 as...as possible结构中。其中“...”处是adj. / adv. / adj. + n. 如:

As a student, you should study as hard as possible. 作为学生,你应该尽可能地努力学习。

4. know; recognise

二者都有“认识”之意。know强调“了解,熟悉”之意,其后多接表示人的名词,表示人与人之间的直接了解。recognise 则强调“认出”,用于原来认识的人或物,通常不用于进行时态中,是非延续性动词,表示瞬间的动作。如:

The tune was recognised as a film musical. 那首曲子被听出是取自电影。

I dont know her. Nor do I know who she is. 我不认识她,也不知道她是谁。
