易混淆词汇——后篇
易混淆词汇第一趴反响热烈
小编赶紧加班加点把后篇赶工出来啦
话不多说
我们直接开始吧
入门级
historic/historical
有历史意义的/与历史有关的
“Historic” is an adjective that means something important or influential in history. “Historical”, on the other hand, is an adjective that refers to anything from the past, important or not.
换句话说，只有在历史上有重要地位才能用historic，其余的都用historical，例如
Correct ✓The effects of the historic Battle of Hastings can still be seen in the English language.
Wrong ✗ We used a historic map to learn about the history of our town.
Wrong ✗ The meeting between the two countries’ leaders was a historical occasion.
Little exercise:
The last one closed in October as the museum moves _________objects out of its west wing for a major renovation beginning early next year.
Our package also included photos, video, story, _________timeline, readers' memories and polls.
lay/lie
放置/躺下；说谎
You lie down, but you lay something down. Lie does not require a direct object. Lay requires a direct object.
Lay和Lie两个老冤家真是始终搞不清楚，再加上它们各自的过去时，就更分不清楚了。
首先在词意上，lay表示放置某样东西，等于place something；而lie有两种意思，一是躺下，而是说谎，它们的过去时是不一样的
Lay（放置）Laid Laid
Lie（躺下）Lay Lain
Lie（说谎）Lied Lied
小编教你一个记住它俩的技巧
place
有着lay的前两个字母la，意思与lay相近：放置
recline （倚靠，躺）
包含lie的前两个字母li，意思与lie相近：躺下
Little exercise:
Sometimes children _________to get out of trouble.
The fat cat likes to _________in the sun.
Yesterday, he _________down to sleep at ten o’clock. Tonight, he won’t _________down until midnight.
principal/principle
校长/原则
这两个单词大家都知道一个表示校长，一个表示原则
但是经常分不清哪个是那个
小编偷偷告诉你一个小技巧
The head of school is your pal
学校的头头是你的伙伴
是不是很威风呀
principal还可以做形容词，表示主要的；首要的
Little exercise:
“The _________guest on the evening was Barrie Crossley who was accompanied by the Furness and South Lakeland group chairman Peter Schofield.”
An ancient Chinese _________can help you get comfortable with doing less—and make you happier, too，
进阶级
introvert/extrovert
内向者/外向者
辨析词意还有一个十分有效的方法就是词缀
“in-“ 这个前缀有入，向内的含义
例如：introvert, indoor, internal, intake, inside, inject….
“ex-“ 这个前缀有出，向外的含义
例如：external, expose, exclude, expel, extract…
Little exercise:
From being a painfully shy, diffident recluse, he suddenly metamorphosed into a garrulous and sometimes painfully overbearing _________.
An extravert has a source and direction of energy expression mainly in the external world while the _________has a source of energy mainly in the internal world.
precede/proceed
在前面/继续进行
这一组单词虽然长得相似，意思其实完全不同
precede含前缀“pre-”，表示前，先
单词的意思即在···前面
proceed含前缀“pro-”，表示向前
向前推进就是继续进行啦
Little exercise:
We received sanction to _________with our plans.
He _________his speech with a welcome to the guest.
predominate/predominant
占优势(v.)/占优势的 (a.)
两个单词是同一个词源的不同词性
Predominate (v.)是dominate (v.)加上前缀“pre-”发展而来的
意为占优势，支配
Predominant (a.)是predominate的形容词形式
意为占优势的
Little exercise:
They gave an insight into the ethos that _________at top English clubs.
The fancy shovels that didn't really cost that much were an example of the _________theme of Monday's ceremony.
implicit/explicit
含蓄的/明确的
这一组其实是一对反义词，但是是含义上仍有相近的一部分
导致同学们混淆
我们先来看implicit
Implicit describes something that is not clearly expressed, something expressed indirectly
第一种释义，Implicit表示未明确表达的，不直接表达的，暗示的。与 “imply” 含义相近
Implicit may also refer to something inherent, something that is inextricably connected with another thing.
第二种释义，implicit也表示无法摆脱的，固有的，
Implicit may describes something that is without question or absolute.
第三种释义，implicit还表示毫无疑问的，绝对的。
有些同学会把这个和explicit中“明确的”含义搞在一起
那我们再来看看explicit
Explicit describes something that is plainly and clearly stated, something that leaves no room for interpretation or confusion.
Explicit表示清楚而明确表达的，没有任何需要解释或引起困惑的地方。
它的释义有明确的，直截了当的，明白的，显而易见的。
Little exercise
There was no rule in the student handbook against boys wearing skirts, but there was still an _________understanding amongst the students that the school administration wouldn’t accept it.
You absolutely can’t drink any alcohol at all while you’re driving! That’s not a suggestion; that’s an _________law!

He expects to reveal, by presenting a soap opera, the complexity _________in real life.
最终级
stationary/stationery
静止的/文具
这一组单词可以说是十分有趣了
不仅拼写很像，读音也是一样
别说我们了，连老外都经常出错
Stationary basically means ‘not moving, or not meant to move’
意为静止的，不动的，稳定的
Stationery is related to paper goods
所有跟文具有关的，都叫stationery
比如公司里通常有一个地方专门摆放打印纸，笔，文件夹，笔记本等等
那个地方就叫stationery哦
你只要记住stationery is paper！
就不会搞混啦

When people think of shooting for sport, they visualize competitors firing at _________targets.
We supply office _________for all types of companies and corporations.
