跟发音一样的 bear 和 bare 的区别一样,grisly 和 grizzly 的发音也一样,但意思截然不同,那么如何区分它们呢?
 一、grisly 作形容词,意为“令人厌恶的;恐怖的;可怕的”,通常作定语,例如:The 55-year-old Canadian had suffered a grisly death.解析:suffer (from sth) | suffer (for sth) 表示(因疾病、痛苦、悲伤等)受苦,受难,受折磨。There was a grisly bit when he gets his eyes poked out. 二、grizzly 作名词,意为“灰熊”,通常写作 grizzly bear,它一种生活在北美和俄罗斯部分地区的大型棕熊,例如: Let's understand the grizzly bear, respect them, adjust accordingly, and do our part to coexist with them.让我们了解灰熊,尊重它们,做出相应的调整,尽我们的一份力量与它们共存。The grizzly bear is a species unseen in our state since 1906.解析:过去分词短语 unseen in our state since 1906 作定语,置于其所修饰的名词之后,其意义相当于一个定语从句,但较从句简洁,多用于书面语中,相当于定语从句: The grizzly bear is a species that/which is unseen in our state since 1906.词汇量小是硬伤,而混淆同音词是伤上加伤,特别是在听力考试的时候,因为听力不同于日常交流,日常交流听不懂对方的话,还可以说 pardon?,但是真正听力的时候不行,所以要引起高度重视。
