◆ raise; keep; support; feed
这四个词都有“抚养”、“养家”、“赡养”的意思,但也有区别。
◇ raise意为“抚养(指人);饲养(指动物或禽畜)”之意。如:
He raised the children himself;his wife died years ago.
他的妻子多年以前就去世了,他一手把孩子拉扯大。
He raised those goats from new-born kids.那些羊从小羊羔时就是他喂养的。
◇ keep表示“养活(指人);饲养(指动物或禽畜)”。如:
John has his wife and six children to keep(support).约翰要养活妻子和六个孩子。
They kept some hens and pigs.他们养了一些鸡和猪。
◇support意为“养活”,不用于饲养动物。如:
She supports her old mother.她赡养老母亲。
He has a large family to support.他要养活一大家子。
◇ feed意为“喂养;饲养;以……为食”。如:
Have you fed the baby/cow yet?婴儿/牛喂了吗?
She fed meat to her dog. =She fed her dog with/on meat.她用肉喂狗。
Foxes feed on small animals.狐狸以小动物为食。
◆ rather than/would rather(…than)
◇ rather than是连词,前后两端所连的词性是一致的,通常译为“而不是”或“与其说是……不如说是”,有时可用短语介词instead of替代。例如:He was writing a letter rather than=(instead of)reading the newspaper.他那时正在写信而不在看报纸。John should go rather than=(instead of)Jean.应该去的是约翰,而不是简。These shoes are comfortable rather than pretty.这些鞋子谈不上漂亮,但穿起来倒很舒服。Evans is a doctor rather than a teacher.与其说埃文斯是个老师,不如说是个医生。
◇ would rather表示选择或主观上的愿望,其中的would亦可理解为had。它表示“宁愿、宁可”的意思。如果要把取舍的双方都表达出来,则应该用would(or:had)rather…than,表示“宁愿……也不……”的意思。例如:My aunt invited me to the film, but I said I'd rather go on a picnic with the girls.我的姑妈邀请我去看电影,可是我说我倒愿意跟女孩子们一起去野餐。I am sure they would(or:had)rather die than give up.我深信他们一定会宁死不屈。

◇ refer…to意为①“把……提交给”,“把……归功于”②“让……处理/查找”,可用于被动语态。如:

◆ reply;answer
◇ 二者均可表示“回答”,可作名词和动词。answer 为一般用语,主要用于对问题、指责等的回答;reply的用法较正式,多用于对问题作出解释、辩论或陈述性回答。二者作名词时都指“……的答案或答复”,均与 to 连用。例如:
Answer this question.回答这个问题。
I asked her the reason, but she didn’t reply.我问她为什么,她却不回答。
I received no reply / answer to my request.我的要求没有收到任何答复。
◇ answer 后面可直接跟宾语,而reply 跟宾语时须与 to 连用;answer 可表示对电话、敲门等作出的“应答”,reply 则不能。例如:
You must reply to/answer this letter right away. 你应当马上回复这封信。
Who answered the telephone? 谁接的电话?
◇ 如果是指练习题的“答案”,一般用 answer。例如:

◇ path通常指“小路、小径”,只供人行走的路,可以是人们践踏而成的路,如山中、林间的羊肠小道;也可以指公园、田间的小路,还可以指供人或事物移动的“路线”等。例如:They walked along the path across the field.他们沿着穿越田野的路走去。
◆ room;place;space
◇ room有两层含义,一为“房间”,是可数名词;二表示人或物体所占的“空间或场所”、处事的“余地”等意思,是不可数名词,可用little,much,no,plenty等词修饰。可构成make room for给……让出地方;take up room占地方;leave room for留出空间给……等短语。
