method指有条理的、系统的办法,特别指新的办法;

way的使用范围很广,但较多地用在具体的事情上或口语中;

means指实现目的的任何手段,或使用某种交通工具的方式。

搭配如下:approach to (doing) sth.;method+of (doing) sth.,前面接with;way+to do / of doing,前面接in;by means of (doing) sth.。

【思维拓展】

【易混辨析】

possible, likely与probable的区别:

possible, likely与probable这三个词都可表示“可能的”,实现的可能性依次递增。

possible常用于下列结构:it's possible for sb. to do sth.; it's possible + that 从句; if possible。注意:possible的主语不能是人;

likely常用于下列结构:sb. / sth. is likely to do sth.; It's likely that从句。注意:likely的主语可以是人也可以是物,但几乎不说:it's likely to do sth.;

probable 常用于下列结构:it's probable + that 从句。注意:probable 的主语不能是人,英语中几乎不说:it's probable to do sth.。

3. curious adj. 好奇的

on behalf of只能用作状语,表示“代表某人”;

stand for往往用来表示字母、数字、符号等“代表、象征什么”。

【温馨提示】

represent作“说明,使明白”和“传达,表达”讲时,不能直接跟人作宾语,常用结构为:represent sth. to sb.或represent to sb. sth.。类似的单词还有explain, guarantee, relate等。

5. defend... against 防御;保卫……以免受

【易混辨析】

defend, protect, guard与preserve的区别:

这四个词都有“使安全或保持安全状态不遭受危险、攻击或伤害”的意思,但它们之间还有些差异。
