还记得如何区分 material 和 materiel 吗?这两个形似而意不同,相比于 material,materiel 后面的那个字母 e 相当于 equipment,所以 materel 有军需器材的意思,那么如何区分 ball 和 bawl 呢,它们发音一样,但意思完全不一样。
一、ball 1、作名词,意为“球,球状物”,例如: Just try to concentrate on hitting the ball. 就把注意力集中在击球上。 The kitten curled itself into a ball. 小猫蜷缩成一个球。 The ball bounced off the post and into the net.She balled her fists so her nails dug deep into her palms.He picked up the sheets of paper, and balled them tightly in his fists.二、bawl 作动词,意为“大喊,怒吼,号哭”,例如:She bawled at me to sit down.解析:不定式 to sit down 是直接宾语 me 的宾语补足语,用来添加关于直接宾语 me 的额外信息。I'm going through a stage where the dumbest things make me bawl.解析:关系副词 where 引导的定语从句,常可以与“介词 + which ”互换,例如:I'm going through a stage in which the dumbest things make me bawl.He started bawling when the dog snatched his toy. 解析:普遍认为 start to do sth 与 start doing sth 相差不大,互换时对句子的意思影响不大。
