易混词辨析
play、disease、pest、plague vs plague
1. plague:名词 “瘟疫;灾祸”(搭配 the black plague 黑死病;a plague of locusts 蝗灾)、动词 “困扰”(plague by worries 受烦恼困扰);
2. 易与 play(动词 “玩”,发音 /pleɪɡ/vs/pleɪ/ 相近)混淆(play the city 错误,应为 plague the city 困扰城市);
3. 与 disease 区别:disease 是 “普通疾病”(common disease),plague 是 “严重瘟疫或持续灾祸”;
4. 与 pest 区别:pest 是 “害虫”(garden pests),plague 可指 “害虫造成的灾祸”。
