语法：同义词和反义词

同义词是意义相近或相同的词；反义词是意义相对或相反的词。英语是世界上同义词最丰富的语言之一。据统计，英语语言中同义词、近义词的数量约占总词汇量的60%。虽然英语同义词数量庞大且错综复杂，但大体可分为两大类：完全同义词和相对同义词。

完全同义词在任何一种语言中都是寥寥可数的，因此，绝大多数同义词还是相对同义词。这些相对同义词的词性、词义、结构或用法等的相同或相近会造成一定的困惑。因此，掌握一定的辨析技巧，才能做到事半功倍。

辨析同义词的方法：

我们一般从三个方面进行区分，即语法、语义和文体。语法主要是词性、搭配、句式等的区分；语义主要是词义的本义、引申义、比喻义等的区分；文体主要是正式和非正式、褒义和贬义等的区分。

例如：“说”

speak(说话):to use your voice to say sth.

say(说):to speak or tell sb. sth.,using words

remark(谈论):to say or write a comment about sth./sb.

state(陈述):to formally write or say sth.,especially in acareful and clear way

narrate(讲;叙述):to tell a story

address(演说;演讲):to make a formal speech to a groupof people

tell(说):to express sth. in words

talk(说话;讲话;谈话):to say things,to speak in order togive information or to express feelings, ideas, etc.

chat(闲聊;闲谈;聊天): to talk in a friendly informal wayto sb.

whisper(耳语;低语;私语;小声说): to speak very quietlyto sb.so that other people cannot hear what you are saying

gossip(传播流言蜚语;说三道四;说长道短): to talk about other people's private lives, often in an unkind way
