Call is the only one of these three words used in American English. Ring and phone are the most frequent words in this group in spoken British English, but call is usually preferred, even in British English, when there is an emergency that involves asking sb/sth to come to a place: call the police/fire brigade is much more frequent than 'ring/phone the police/fire brigade'. You call/ring/phone a person, place or institution; you call a cab/a taxi/an ambulance. 这三个词中只有call用于美式英语，ring和phone则最常用于英式英语的口语。但在紧急情况下打电话呼叫某人或某物时，一般倾向用call，即便在英式英语中也如此。call the police/fire brigade（报警；报火警）比ring/phone the police/fire brigade常用得多。call、ring、phone后可以接人、地点或机构，而cab、taxi、ambulance前要用call◆I'll ring/phone you a cab. ■ dial / /ˈdaɪəl/ / (-ll-, NAmE -l-) [transitive, intransitive] to use a telephone by pushing the buttons or turning the dial (= the round part on some older telephones with holes for the fingers) to call a number 拨（电话号码）◆He dialled the number and waited.他拨号后等着通话。◆Dial 0033 for France.打电话到法国拨0033。◆She picked up the receiver, paused a moment, and then dialled.她拿起话筒，顿了一下，然后拨电话。■ telephone [intransitive, transitive] (especially BrE, formal) to make a telephone call to sb （给⋯）打电话◆Please write or telephone for details.欲知详情，请来信或来电。◆You can telephone your order 24 hours a day.一天24小时你都可以打电话订购。◆I was about to telephone the police.我正要打电话报警。▸ telephone noun [countable, uncountable] ◆The telephone rang and Pat answered it.电话铃响了，帕特接了起来。◆You're wanted (= sb wants to speak to you) on the telephone.有电话找你。■ reach [transitive] to communicate with sb, especially by telephone （尤指用电话）联系，与⋯取得联系◆Do you know where I can reach him?你知道我在哪儿能联系上他吗？◆You can reach me at this number.你可以打这个号码找我。■ ˌcall sb ˈup phrasal verb (especially NAmE, rather informal) to make a telephone call to sb 给⋯打电话◆I called him up and asked him how he was doing.我打电话给他问他过得怎么样。 button1 noun Press the red button. 按下红色按钮。a jacket with gold buttons 钉着金色纽扣的夹克衫button ♦︎ switch ♦︎ control ♦︎ wheel ♦︎ key ♦︎ handle ♦︎ lever ♦︎ knob ♦︎ dialThese are all words for the part of a machine, vehicle or piece of equipment that you press, turn or move to make it work. 这些词均表示按钮、开关、操控装置。PATTERNS AND COLLOCATIONS 句型和搭配◆a button / switch / key / handle / lever / knob / dial on sth◆the on / off / on-off button / switch◆a control button / switch / key / lever / knob◆a door handle / knob◆a volume control button / switch / knob / dial◆to be at / take the controls / wheel◆to press a button / switch / key / lever◆to push a button / switch / handle / lever◆to pull a switch / handle / lever◆to turn a wheel / handle / knob / dial◆to hit a button / switch / key◆to adjust the controls / lever / knob / dial◆a button / switch / handle / lever / knob / dial controls sth◆a / the button / switch / controls / wheel / handle / lever operates sth◆a / the button / switch / controls / lever / knob / dial adjusts sth■ button [countable] a small part of a machine that you press to make it work （机器的）按钮，键◆the play / stop / rewind button播放键；停止键；倒带键◆Adam pressed a button and waited for the doors to open.亚当按了一个按钮，等着门打开。◆Choose 'printer' from the menu and click with the right mouse button.从选单上选取“打印机”，然后点击鼠标右键。◆The windows slide down at the touch of a button.按一下开关，窗玻璃便降下来。■ switch [countable] a small device that you press or move up and down in order to turn a light or piece of electrical equipment on and off （电路的）开关，闸◆a light switch电灯开关◆That was in the days before electricity was available at the flick of a switch.那是在过去，还没有到开关一响就有电的时代。◆Which switch do I press to turn it off?我按哪个开关能把它关掉？◆to throw a switch (= to move a large switch) 扳动开关 see also switch sth off ⇨ turn sth off , switch sth on ⇨ turn sth on ■ control [countable, usually plural] the switches and buttons, etc. that you use to operate a machine or vehicle, for example a plane （机器、车辆、飞机等的）操纵装置，开关，按钮◆the controls of an aircraft飞机的操纵装置◆the control panel控制面板◆the volume control of a CD playerCD播放机的音量调节钮◆The co-pilot was at the controls when the plane landed.副驾驶员操纵着飞机着陆。 see also control ⇨ operate ■ wheel [countable, usually singular] the round object used to steer a car, bus, etc. or ship （汽车等的）方向盘；（轮船的）舵轮◆He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel and waited.他等候时用手指嗒嗒地敲击方向盘。◆This is the first time I've sat behind the wheel since the accident.这是出车祸以来我头一次坐在方向盘前。◆A car swept past with Laura at the wheel.劳拉驱车疾驰而过。◆Do you want to take the wheel (= drive / steer) now?你现在想开车吗？■ key [countable] any of the buttons that you press to operate a computer or typewriter;
