speak, talk, tell, say都可译为“说;说话”,但是他们的用法不尽相同,下面让我们来看一看吧!
1. speak着重说话的动作,不强调所说的内容。当它用作不及物动词时,意为“说(话);讲(话);演讲;发言”;当它用作及物动词时,意为“说(某种语言)”。如:
She is scared when she speaks in front of people. 当她在众人面前发言时,她感到害怕。
Lots of people speak Chinese in the world. 世界上很多人讲汉语。
—Can I speak to John, please? 请问,我能和约翰通话吗?
—Speaking. 我就是,请讲。
2. talk意为“谈话;交谈;谈论”,着重谈话的动作而不涉及谈话的内容。一般用作不及物动词,常与介词to或with连用,即talk with / to sb.“和某人谈话”。当谈及某事时,后接介词about,即talk about sth.“谈论某事”。如:
Jenny was busy and hardly had time to talk. 珍妮很忙,几乎没有时间说话。
I never talk about him. 我从不谈论他。
Its necessary for us to talk to our parents when we have problems. 当我们遇到麻烦时,有必要跟父母讲。
3. tell是及物动词,意为“告诉;讲述”,常见搭配:tell sb. sth. / tell sth. to sb.“告诉某人某事”;tell sb. about sth.“告诉某人某事”;tell sb. to do sth.“叫某人做某事”。如:
She told me about her plans. 她告诉我关于她的计划。
The facts tell us that it is not true. 事实告诉我们,这不是真的。
4. say意为“说;讲”,可用作及物和不及物动词,他的宾语可以是名词、代词。它着重说话的内容,不强调表达方式。它也可与to连用,say to sb. 意为“对某人说”。如:
To say is easy, to do is hard. 说起来容易,做起来难。
She says, dont draw on the wall. 她说别在墙上画。
另外,say还有“写道;报道”之意。如:
Look at the sign, please. It says “No Parking.” 请看告示牌,上面写着“禁止停车”。
