词语辨析
dispense,deal,distribute,divide
【解说】这四个词的共同意思是“分配”。它们的区别在于deal强调公平分配;dispense强调按需分配;distribute强调均衡分配;divide则强调人人有份。例如The money must be dealt out fairly and justly.这笔钱必须公平分配。The new machine distributes seeds evenly and quickly.这台机器将种子又匀又快地播种下去。He dispensed money to the poor.他把钱分给穷人们。They divided the money among themselves.他们把那钱分了。dispense with,dispose of
【解说】这组短语意义相近,但有细微的差别。dispose of意为“处理掉,打发掉,解决掉”;而dispense with的意思是“免掉,不用;使变得不需要”。
