◇詞语用法
interesting & interested
interesting和interested都是形容词,但用法不同。interesting意为“有趣的”,其主语通常是事物;interested意为“感兴趣的”,其主语通常是人,be interested in (doing) sth. 意为“对(做)某事感兴趣”。例如:
That question is really interesting. 那个问题十分有趣。
I am interested in skating and I spend a lot of time on it. 我对滑冰感兴趣,并且在滑冰上花了很多时间。
【知识拓展】
interest 用作名词时,意为“兴趣;趣味”。interest用作动词时,意为“使感兴趣;使关注”。例如:
Henrys interests are listening to music and playing tennis. 亨利的兴趣是听音乐和打网球。
Politics doesnt interest me. 我对政治不感兴趣。
ago & before
ago意为“以前”,只作副词,一般放在表示时间段的词语之后。before用作副词时,可单独使用,意为“以前”;也可以用作介词或连词,意为“在……以前”。例如:

shout at & shout to
shout作动词,意为“呼叫;喊叫”,常与介词at或to连用。shout at sb.表示“生气地或敌意地对某人大喊大叫”;shout to sb.表示“大声叫某人”或“大声对某人说话”,以引起别人的注意,无辱骂或生气的意思。例如:
The little girl got very dirty and her mother shouted at her. 这个小女孩很脏,她妈妈冲她大声叫喊。

thousand & thousands of
