商务写作易混淆词汇辨析(2)

2012-06-19 
英语中也有近义词和同义词。虽然用法相似,但还是有细微的区别的,并不完全相同。正是这些“差之毫厘”的地方,如果在使用的时候不留心,就会“失之千里”。下面就简单介绍几组经常在商务英语写作中造成混淆的词组。

  2.Assume vs know vs think

  assume、know和think的辨析

  To assume is a regular verb that means to suppose something to be the true, but without proof.

  Assume是一个规则动词,意思是假设某事是真的,但并没有真凭实据。

  Example: I assume you’re here to learn English.

  例句:我假设你来这里是来学英语的。

  To know is an irregular verb that means to be absolutely certain or sure about something, usually through observation, inquiry, or information.

  Know是一个不规则动词,意思是完全确信、肯定某事,通常是通过观察、询问或各种信息得出的结果。

  Example: I know I should practise English every day, but I never seem to have the time.

  例句:我知道我应该每天练习英语,但我似乎从来都找不到时间来这么做。

  To think is an irregular verb that means to have a particular opinion, belief, or idea about someone or something.

  Think是一个不规则动词,意思是对某人或某事有一种特别的观点、信念或想法。

  Example: I think English is a global language.

  例句:我认为英语是一种全球通用语。

  Note - If you need to remember which one to use, memorise this sentence: Why do some people assume they know what other people think about something?

  提示:如果你想记住这三个词的区别的话,记住下面这个例句就行了:为什么有些人自认为他们知道别人在想些什么?
