词语辨析
attend，attend to
【解说】这两者均可译为“出席”，但含义上有区别attend指“人”去了，attend to则进一步指“心”去了，介词to在这里指“集中注意力于…”，例如He attended school，but didn't attend to his lessons.他去上学，但不把功课放在心上。He did attend the lecture this morning，but somehow he did not seem to attend to it.今天上午他的确去听课了，可是不知怎的他似乎心不在焉。attend on，attend to
【解说】这两个短语的区别是1.attend to是“照料”的意思，attend on是“侍候”的意思。介词to表示对象，而on则进一步表示目的，含有使其满意的意味。2.attend on的宾语只是人，attend to的宾语可以是人，也可以是物。3.attend to还含有“认真听”“认真干”的含义。attend，be present
【解说】这两者均可译为“出席”。二者的区别是attend强调的是过程，be present强调的是状态。例如I attended a meeting this morning.今天上午我参加了一个会议。He was present at the scene.他当时在场。attend，mind，tend，watch

这组词都有“照料(某人或某物)”的意思，在含义上略有不同attend侧重“服侍使其更舒服”；mind侧重“保护其不出意外，不受损害”；tend侧重“注意某事使其正常运转”；watch侧重“预先做好防止发生危险的准备”，有连续性或专职性。例如He attended her through her illness.她生病期间他一直照顾着她。There was nobody left to mind the shop.没人留下看守店铺。A farmer is tending his sheep.农夫在照看羊群。There was a policeman watching the pri-soner outside the house and making sure he didn't escape.有位警察在监狱外监视那个犯人以防他逃跑。attend，heed，mind，note，notice
