章节摘录

　　在英语句子里，使用不同的介词往往会使该句产生截然不同的意义，题例两句就是如此。“This building is in repair.”的意思是“这幢大楼已修理好了”，in repair等于in good repair之意。“Thislmilding is under repair。”的意思是“这幢大楼正在修理中”。它相当于“This building is undergoing repairw.”。其意为该楼在修理，但还没有修理好。In good repair相当于in repair，其对义语为in badrepair in（a state of）disrepair／fallen into disrepair。out ofrepair是“已损坏”；past repair／beyond repair是“坏得不能修理”；need putting into repair和stand in need of repair都是“需要修理”。repair是名词或动词。

前言

　　在撰写本书期间。笔者常会想起一件关于“twins”的趣事，故将本书的英文副题定为“A Study 0f English Twins”。何谓“Twins"？根据一般词典解说，其基本词义有二。一为“twopeople who have the 8anle mother and were bom on the 8alne day”；二为“two identical 0r similar things’，即：“双胞胎”和“两样非常相似‘的事物”。为此，本书之中文副题译名是（相似词语辨析）。　　下面先叙述“双胞胎”引起的趣事，然后再言归正传，详述英语相似词语的研究。　　笔者在大学年代，有一位同窗好友。该君博学多才，胆识过人，平日待人接物总是满脸笑容。某日，他一反常态，愁眉苦脸地躲在角落里长吁短叹。在笔者一再追问下，他才吞吞吐吐地道出了下列一段令人捧腹大笑的罗曼史——不久之前，他结识了一位如花似玉的阔小姐，两人一拍即合，颇有相见恨晚之感，热烈之情与日俱增。一天晚上，他应女友之约，登门拜见未来的岳母。他老兄在客厅坐下不久，只见其心上人身穿一条粉红色的贴身裙子，笑容可掬地从楼梯上飘然而下，此君四顾无人，按捺不住心头爱火，迎上前去，搂住就吻。刹那间，女子花容变色，左右开弓，给了他两下响亮的耳光，打得他晕头转向，丈二金刚摸不着头脑。靓女转身，向楼上奔去，少顷，只见那位prospectivemother。law，睁着杏眼，气冲冲地狂奔而下，指着他的鼻尖厉声喝道：“色狼！色狼！还好我没有将小女嫁给你！”

作者简介

　　英语里有大量形似而义异或义近的词语。在结构上，它们具有非常微妙的差别，有的在于所用冠词或介词的不同。有的在拼写上仅差一字之微。在涵义上，它们有的互相接近，有的却大相径庭，容易产生混淆。《英语迷津(2)相似词语辨析》是《英语迷津①》的续篇。由于前书很受欢迎.作者又从研究资料中精选出一百六十二组常见的英语相似词语，编成此书。内容包括各种形似而义异的单词、同义词和近义词、同形同音异义词等.先指出其异同和易于混淆之处，再说明其涵义和用法。每组词语附有适当的例句，以便读者比较和参考。《英语迷津(2)相似词语辨析》另一特点是，它经常通过一对词语的比较来说明其他同类型相似词语的异同，使读者可以触类旁通，由此悟彼地联想到其他类似词语的关系和区别。书后附有《英语迷津①》及《英语迷津②》的总索引，方便读者检索。
