八年级上册units 4--6知识归纳
一、词语辨析：
1、arrive, get, reach
arrive不及物动词，后面要跟in或at。表示到达大城市或国家时要用in，而到达小城市、乡村、车站等小地方则用at。如:
we arrived in london last week. 我们上周到达伦敦。
the doctor arrived at the village at last. 医生终于到达了那个村子。
reach是"独行侠"，是及物动词，后面从来不跟介词，直接跟宾语(地点名词)就行了。如:
when did you reach the station? 你是什么时间到达车站的?
he reached nanjing at noon. 他是中午到达南京的。
get是不及物动词后面要接to再接地点名词，.当“到达”的地点是副词时，就不带它了。如:
ann got to the farm at six o‘clock. 安六点钟到达农场.
i got here early in the morning. 我一大早就到这儿了.
注意：如果不指明到达的地点就不能用get，而要用arrive.如:
when i arrived, they weren‘t there. 当我到达时,他们不在那儿.
2、sick, ill
（1）都可译为“生病的”。ill只在系动词后作表语：
her mother was ill in bed. she feels ill today.
但sick既可作表语： her mother was sick / ill in bed. （作表语常是美国英语用法）
也可作定语（即后接名词）：jane is taking care of her sick mother.
(此处是定语，不可用ill. 原因见下文ill用法)
（2）若ill作定语，译为“坏的，恶劣的”an ill person一个坏人
sick作表语时也常译为“恶心的，想吐的”。
the boy always feels sick when he travels by car.
3、other, another, the other
another与the other 和others 与the others都来源于other这个词。
其用法是:
another泛指三个或三个以上的人或物中没有确定的另一个；
another+数字+名词= 数字+more+名词；
the other则指已知的两个人或两事物中的另一个。(one…,the other….)
others或 other+ 名词，泛指“别的人或别的物”；
the others指“一定范围内的其余的人或物”。
注意:若强调确定数目中的“一(几)个”与其余的,用one...the others或“the other +复数名词”结构。
