2008-05-13 16:53 elder 与elderly
两者都为“年老的”，但有细微的差别。 elderly 指中年与暮年之间的年龄，表示人已过中年，因此，这词常用来代替 old。如：an elderly gentleman. 一位年长的绅士。elder指年龄稍长者，适用于家庭的兄弟姐妹之间。如： Tom is the elder of the two. 汤姆是两个孩子中较大的一个。
damp 与 wet
两者都表示“潮湿的”，但有细微差别。wet 指曾浸泡在液体中或布满了液体的东西，或指多雨的天气。如： It\‘s a wet day. 今天是一个雨天。/ wet clothes 湿衣服。 damp 指未湿透但潮湿的东西。 The damp in the air makes me uncomfortable. 潮湿的空气使我感到不舒服。
hunger 与 starvation
两词都表“饥饿”。 hunger 指人对食物的迫切要求，是一种正常的生理现象。如： Hunger is the best sauce. 肚子饿了吃什么都香。而 starvation 指长时间缺乏食物引起痛苦，与 hunger 相比是不正常的生理现象，而是人为的灾难。如： The old man died of starvation. 那个老人活活饿死了。
specially与especially
specially adv.“特别地”“特地”“专为”，如：I came here specially to see you.我特地来看你。especially, adv.“特别地”“格外地”“尤其”，如：Our garden is beautiful, especially in fall.我们的花园很漂亮，尤其在秋天。 This time I came back specially to see my family, especially my little daughter who was ill.这次我专程回来看望我的家人，尤其是我生病的小女儿。
由这一句可见两个词的区别：specially“专门地，特地”，多指为一特别目的而作。especially“特别，尤其”，指与其他同类相比，某人(物)情况达到异常的程度。
