英語單詞remain和stay的區別
remain是高中英語中的一個重要詞彙,高考曾多次考查過remain的用法,但其仍不失爲高考重點“嫌疑”單詞,下面舉例說明其用法。供同學們參考。
(1)remain r—continue to be繼續存在;be still present after a part
has gone or has been taken a away 剩下;遺留
e.g.①Country music today remains much the same as before.
今日的鄉村音樂仍然同過去的差不多完全一樣。
②The door remained closed.門仍然是關閉的。
③Much work remains to be done.還有許多工作要做。
④You may have all those that remain.你可以把剩下的那些全拿走。
note:remain與stay兩詞的相同點與不同點
1)remain與stay作“留下”、“繼續保持某一狀態”時，它們常作系動詞用，可以互換。
e.g.①The shop stays(remains)open till night.這家店鋪一直營業到晚上。
②He stayed(remained)outside while we entered the room.(他留在外面，我們進了屋子。)
2)當表示“剩下”(即其餘的一切都拿走、除去、破壞等)時，通常只用remain而不用stay。
e.g.①After the earthquake(地震)very little remained of the city of Tang Shan( 一場地震以後，唐山這座城市所剩無幾。)
②If you take 5 from 20,15 remains.從20中去5，剩餘15。
3)當表示“在某處或在某處住下”時，通常用stay,不用 remain。
wants to stay with a friend in the country.他想住在鄉下朋友那裏。
4)兩者在含義上的區別是remain着重指在別人已離去或事情有變動後，仍“繼續停留”或保持原來狀態、關係、行動等。主語可以是人，也可以是物，而stay的主語通常是人，僅指“停留”、“逗留”。
e.g.①My father will stay home this week.這星期我父親將一直留在家裏。
②When the others had gone,he remained and put back the chairs.(別人離去後，他留下來，把椅子放回原處。)
Also:remain n.—() what is left(常用複數)所剩下或遺留者
remains of the meal are (is) in the refrigerator(電冰箱)。剩下的飯在電冰箱裏。
(2)appear v.—become visible出現、顯現，seem似乎、好像
e.g.①A lot of them appear on television,too.他們中許多人還上了電視。
②He appears old.他看來老了。
note:appears與seem,look的相同點和不同點
1)appear與look一樣，都憑視覺的印象而產生一種看法，但這種看法可能與實際不相符合。另外appear和seem要跟that從句或動詞不定式，而look不能。
e.g.①He appears to have understood me.他似乎理解了我。
②She didn’t seem to have changed much.她看起來沒有多大變化。
③It appears that we must go.好像我們該走了。
2)look和seem可跟as if從句而appear不能，另外seem和look可與like連用。
e.g.①It looked as if it was going to snow.看起來天好像是要下雪。
②It seems as if he were in a dream.看起來他好像是在做夢。
③It seems that the report is true.這報道好像是真的。
④It seems like yesterday.這彷彿是昨天的事似的。
⑤I well remember what the place looked like in 1949.(我還清楚記得這地方1949年是什麼樣子。)
(3)value n.(u)—worth of something in terms of money or other goods for
which it can be exchanged 價格，交換力，購買力
e.g.①He placed a value on the house.他對這房子作了一個估價。
②His advice is of great value.他的勸告很重要。
note:value與price、cost和worth的相同與不同
1)這三個詞均有“價值”、“價”的含義。
2)value常指物的本身的價值，有時也被用作市價或交換價值。在這種意義上，一物的value常以人的主觀見解的改變而改變。
3)price指買者對於物品所要求的價錢。
4)cost指對物所付的代價。包括物的發現、產出、製造、裝修、搬運及其它使此物變成現狀時所花去的一切費用。通常物的“price”高於“cost”。
5)worth指物的本來的價值，屬永久的和不變的東西。
例如：繪畫的worth常是同一的。而它的value卻依人們的嗜好或時代不同而不同。
e.g.①What‘s the price of rice?大米的價錢是多少?
②The cost of living is much higher now than it was.(現在的生活費用比以前高多了。)
③How much is it worth?=(What is it worth?)這值多少錢?
6)“價值高或低”只能說a high(low)price或something is expensive(cheap)。
7)“無論花多大的代價”，可以說at any price或at all(any)costs。
must drive out the enemy at all costs.(我們不惜任何代價要把敵人趕出去。)
(4)make fun of—cause people to laugh at嘲笑、取笑
e.g.①Those songs often made fun of them.那些歌曲常常是嘲笑他們的。
②It is wrong to make fun of a blind man.嘲笑一個盲人是不對的。
