词语辨析
right，correct
【解说】这两个词意思相同，都表示“正确”，多数情况下可互换。例如Your answer is right（correct〕.你的答案是正确的。它们的区别是1.correct含有按标准或规则往往是“正确”的意味；而right含有按道德规范往往是“正确”的意味。例如This sentence is grammatically correct but idiomatically wrong.这句话从语法上讲是对的，但不符合习惯用法。I don't think it's right to leave children alone in a house.我认为把小孩独自留在房里是不对的。2.right有“正常的”“正义的”“井井有条的”等意思，而correct没有。例如He invited the right persons.他邀请了该请的客人。下面各句意思相同
【解说】She was right to refuse.It was right of her to refuse.It was right for her to refuse.It was right that she should refuse.她拒绝是正确的。right，rightly
【解说】这两个词在意思上基本相同。它们的区别是1.在修饰全句时要用rightly而不用right。例如Quite rightly，Fannie referred the complaint to the director.芬尼把一肚子苦水向主任倾诉这是完全正确的。2.如果修饰的是动词，两者都可以使用，但right要放在动词之后，而rightly多放在动词之前。例如If I remember right，Robert died two years ago.要是我没记错的话，罗伯特两年前就去世了。These prisoners were rightly punished for their crimes.这些犯人罪有应得。3.修饰介词短语时要用right，不用rightly。例如The nail went right through the plank.钉子恰好钉穿木板。4.修饰另一个形容词或副词，要用right，不用rightly。而且，这样使用时，right要放在另一个副词之前。例如The policeman has knocked the blackguard right out.民警已把这个坏蛋打倒在地。5.right作为副词，可以用在介词短语之前，意思是“正好”，rightly不能这样用。例如The snowball hit him right on the nose.雪球正好打在他鼻子上。right away，at once，directly，immediately，instantly，presently
【解说】这组词(组)的共同意思是“立即”“马上”。它们的区别在于1.at once主要指动作迅速，但中间多有一段距离，且at once比immediately意味更强。例如I'm leaving for Rome at once.我马上去罗马。He gave orders for the work to be started at once.他下令立即开始那项工作。2.immediately侧重指时间“紧接着”。例如I came immediately after I'd eaten.吃过饭我立即就来了。Please close your books immediately and answer these questions.请立即合上书，回答这些问题。I left immediately when the clock struck twelve.钟刚打12点我就离去了。3.right away经常出现在美式英语中。例如I'll do it right away.我立即去办。He had written down a list of things to do right away.他已写下须立即做的事情。Don't expect them to approve of the design right away.不能期望他们马上批准这项设计。4.instantly也是指动作迅速，但它更强调的是同时发生，中间有很短的距离或无距离。例如
