Reach is used especially in written English; get is the usual word in spoken English. Get takes no object, but always takes an adverb or adverbial phrase, often one that is not specific, when the listener is expected to understand the place that is meant by there, in or back. Reach always takes an object and is usually more specific about the place that is arrived at.这两个词的主要区别在于语体风格不同。reach尤用于书面语，get常用于口语。get不带宾语，但总是带副词或副词短语，常不指明具体地点，而用there、in或back表明听者应知道所说的地方是哪里。reach总带宾语，一般较具体地指明到达何处。■make(made, made) [transitive, no passive] (ratherinformal) to succeed in arriving at a particular event, place or position出席（某项活动）；到达（某处）；达到（某职位）◆I'm sorry I didn't make the party last night.抱歉昨晚没能参加聚会。◆He'll never make(= get a place in) the team.他永远成不了这支队伍的一员。◆The story made(= appeared on) the front pages of the national newspapers.这件事登上了全国性报纸的头版。■ˈmake it

'Topshop.'“你那条裙子在哪儿买的？”“Topshop专卖店。”Get is frequently used to mean 'buy', especially in spoken English and when talking about less expensive items, but if you need to make it clear that sb paid money for sth, use buy. * get经常指“买”，尤其在口语中和谈到不太贵的东西时，但如果需要讲明某物是花钱买的，则用buy。 see also get ⇨ get1■purchase / /ˈpɜːtʃəs; NAmEˈpɜːrtʃəs/ [transitive] (formal) to buy sth买；购买；采购◆The equipment can be purchased from your local supplier.这种设备可从您当地的供应商购买。◆Please ensure that you purchase your ticket in advance.请务必提前购票。 see also purchaser ⇨ customer■acquire /əˈkwaɪə(r)/ / [transitive] (formal, especially business尤用于商业) to obtain sth by buying it购得；买到◆The company has just acquired new premises.公司刚购得新办公楼。◆How did the gallery come to acquire so many Picassos?这家画廊是如何购得这么多毕加索作品的？NOTE辨析 Purchase or acquire?Acquire is used especially with words relating to business: company, firm, franchise, land, lease, premises, site, stake, subsidiary. Purchase is simply a formal alternative to buy, and can be used with a far wider range of nouns. Acquire can also mean 'obtain sth by being given it'; if you need to make it clear that sb paid money for sth, use buy or purchase. * acquire尤其跟company、firm、franchise、land、lease、premises、site、stake、subsidiary等与商业相关的词连用。purchase只是buy的正式说法，可以跟范围广得多的名词连用。acquire还可指获得、得到；如果需要讲明某物是花钱买的，则用buy或purchase。 see also acquire ⇨ get1■shop(-pp-) [intransitive] to buy things in shops去商店买；在商店购物◆We tend to go into Edinburgh to shop for clothes.我们一般去爱丁堡买衣服。◆He likes to shop at the local market.他喜欢到本地市场买东西。ⓘ To go shopping is to spend time going to shops and looking for things to buy. * go shopping的意思是逛商店◆There should be plenty of time to go shopping before we leave New York.我们离开纽约前应该还有充足的时间去逛商店。 see also shopper ⇨ customer■take(took, taken) [transitive] to choose to buy sth选购◆I'll take the grey jacket.我要那件灰色夹克衫。ⓘ In this meaning take is only used when it is clear that you are choosing sth, especially in the phrase I'll take... In the sentence She took the grey jacket, for example, took could be misunderstood to mean stole.Take can also be used as a more formal way of saying get, when it means 'to buy a newspaper or magazine regularly'.表达此义时，take只用于很明确是挑选东西的场合，尤用于短语I'll take ...。比如，在She took the grey jacket 这句话里，took有可能被误解为偷窃。take表示定期购买某报刊时，是get的较为正式的说法◆ (formal) We take the 'Express'.我们订阅了《快报》。■ˌpick sth ˈup
