英语单词remain和stay的区别

(1)remain v.after—continue to be继续存在;be still present after a part

has gone or has been taken a away 剩下;遗留

e.g.①Country music today remains much the same as before.

今日的乡村音乐仍然同过去的差不多完全一样。

②The door remained closed.门仍然是关闭的。

③Much work remains to be done.还有许多工作要做。

④You may have all those that remain.你可以把剩下的那些全拿走。

note:remain与stay两词的相同点与不同点

1)remain与stay作“留下”、“继续保持某一状态”时，它们常作系动词用，可以互换。

e.g.①The shop stays(remains)open till night.这家店铺一直营业到晚上。

②He stayed(remained)outside while we entered the room.(他留在外面，我们进了屋子。)

2)当表示“剩下”(即其余的一切都拿走、除去、破坏等)时，通常只用remain而不用stay。

e.g.①After the earthquake(地震)very little remained of the city of Tang Shan( 一场地震以后，唐山这座城市所剩无几。)

②If you take 5 from 20,15 remains.从20中去5，剩余15。

3)当表示“在某处或在某处住下”时，通常用stay,不用 remain。

e.g.He wants to stay with a friend in the country.他想住在乡下朋友那里。

4)两者在含义上的区别是remain着重指在别人已离去或事情有变动后，仍“继续停留”或保持原来状态、关系、行动等。主语可以是人，也可以是物，而stay的主语通常是人，仅指“停留”、“逗留”。

e.g.①My father will stay home this week.这星期我父亲将一直留在家里。

②When the others had gone,he remained and put back the chairs.(别人离去后，他留下来，把椅子放回原处。)

Also:remain n.—(usu.pl) what is left(常用复数)所剩下或遗留者

e.g.The remains of the meal are (is) in the refrigerator(电冰箱)。剩下的饭在电冰箱里。

(2)appear v.—become visible出现、显现，seem似乎、好像

e.g.①A lot of them appear on television,too.他们中许多人还上了电视。

②He appears old.他看来老了。

note:appears与seem,look的相同点和不同点

1)appear与look一样，都凭视觉的印象而产生一种看法，但这种看法可能与实际不相符合。另外appear和seem要跟that从句或动词不定式，而look不能。

e.g.①He appears to have understood me.他似乎理解了我。

②She didn’t seem to have changed much.她看起来没有多大变化。

③It appears that we must go.好像我们该走了。

2)look和seem可跟as if从句而appear不能，另外seem和look可与like连用。

e.g.①It looked as if it was going to snow.看起来天好像是要下雪。

②It seems as if he were in a dream.看起来他好像是在做梦。

③It seems that the report is true.这报道好像是真的。

④It seems like yesterday.这仿佛是昨天的事似的。

⑤I well remember what the place looked like in 1949.(我还清楚记得这地方1949年是什么样子。)

(3)value n.(u)—worth of something in terms of money or other goods for

which it can be exchanged 价格，交换力，购买力

e.g.①He placed a value on the house.他对这房子作了一个估价。

②His advice is of great value.他的劝告很重要。

note:value与price、cost和worth的相同与不同

1)这三个词均有“价值”、“价”的含义。

2)value常指物的本身的价值，有时也被用作市价或交换价值。在这种意义上，一物的value常以人的主观见解的改变而改变。

3)price指买者对于物品所要求的价钱。

4)cost指对物所付的代价。包括物的发现、产出、制造、装修、搬运及其它使此物变成现状时所花去的一切费用。通常物的“price”高于“cost”。

5)worth指物的本来的价值，属永久的和不变的东西。

例如：绘画的worth常是同一的。而它的value却依人们的嗜好或时代不同而不同。

e.g.①What‘s the price of rice?大米的价钱是多少?

②The cost of living is much higher now than it was.(现在的生活费用比以前高多了。)

③How much is it worth?=(What is it worth?)这值多少钱?

6)“价值高或低”只能说a high(low)price或something is expensive(cheap)。

7)“无论花多大的代价”，可以说at any price或at all(any)costs。

e.g.We must drive out the enemy at all costs.(我们不惜任何代价要把敌人赶出去。)

(4)make fun of—cause people to laugh at嘲笑、取笑

e.g.①Those songs often made fun of them.那些歌曲常常是嘲笑他们的。
