NOTE 辨析 Hear or listen? Hear usually describes what happens when a sound comes to your ears, whether you are giving the sound your attention or not. Listen means that you are deliberately trying to hear a sound. * hear通常表示声音传入耳朵，不管是否留心。listen指想努力听清楚◆She heard them talking to each other (= she became aware of their conversation).她听见他们在说话。◆She listened to them talking to each other (= she was trying to hear what they were saying).她仔细听他们说话的内容。Sometimes hear can have the same meaning as listen. 有时hear与listen同义◆Don't decide until you've heard / listened to both sides of the argument.听了双方的论点后再作决定。However, hear is not used in the progressive tenses and is used to talk about a complete action, not an activity; you can hear a radio programme/broadcast/lecture/argument/debate, but if you hear music/the radio you hear it by accident, not because you are deliberately listening. 但hear不用于进行时，表示完成了的动作，不表示正在进行的活动，因此可以说hear a radio programme/broadcast/lecture/argument/debate（听电台节目；听广播；听讲座；听争论；听辩论），但hear music/the radio（听音乐；听收音机）则表示无意间听到，而不是特意去听◆I could hear music playing / the radio blaring out in the next room.我听到隔壁房间里正在放音乐／大声放广播。◆He enjoys hearing music. ◆'What were you doing?' 'Just hearing the radio.' ■ ˌpay atˈtention phrase (paid, paid)to listen to sb/sth carefully 注意听◆Can you all pay attention please?大家注意听，好吗？◆Don't pay any attention to what they say (= don't think that it is important).别在意他们说什么。OPP ignore ⇨ ignore ■ heed [transitive] (formal) to listen to and act on a warning or piece of advice 留心，注意，听从（警告或劝告）◆They failed to heed the lessons of history.他们未能吸取历史的教训。◆Calls for more legislation to protect tenants were not heeded.制订更多法规以保障房客利益的呼声没有受到重视。■ catch (caught, caught) [transitive] to manage to hear or understand sth 听清楚；领会◆Sorry, I didn't quite catch what you said.对不起，你的话我没听清楚。◆Did you catch that show on the radio?你听那个广播节目了吗？ⓘ Catch is used especially in negative sentences to say that sb did not hear or understand sth. * catch尤用于否定句，表示没有听清楚或没有领会。■ ˌtune ˈin phrasal verb to listen to a radio show or watch a television show 收听（广播节目）；收看（电视节目）◆More than five million listeners tuned in to his afternoon radio show.五百多万听众收听了他主持的午后广播节目。ⓘ In slightly more informal language, tune in to sb/sth can mean 'to become aware of other people's thoughts and feelings'. 在不太正式的用语中，tune in to sb/sth可以表示觉察到他人的思想情感◆ (rather informal) She can understand what babies need by listening to their cries and tuning in to their body language.通过倾听婴儿的哭声和观察他们的肢体语言，她能明白婴儿的需要。 point sth out phrasal verb ➡ See also the entry for ⇨ stress 另见stress条point sth out ♦︎ highlight ♦︎ draw attention to sb/sth ♦︎ point to sth ♦︎ point sth upThese words all mean to make people notice sth by mentioning it or making it obvious. 这些词均表示指出或突显。PATTERNS AND COLLOCATIONS 句型和搭配◆to point out / highlight / point to how...◆to point out / highlight / draw attention to / point to / point up the fact that...◆to point out / highlight / draw attention to / point to / point up the importance / difference◆to point out / highlight / draw attention to / point to a / an need / aspect◆to highlight / draw attention to / point up an issue◆to point out / highlight / draw attention to the weaknesses / inadequacy in / of sb / sth◆to clearly point out / highlight / point to / point up sth◆to further point out / highlight / point to sth■ ˌpoint sth ˈout phrasal verb to mention sth in order to give sb information about it or make them notice it （向某人）指出◆She tried in vain to point out to him the unfairness of his actions.她试图向他指出他的做法不公正，但没有用。◆He pointed out the dangers of driving alone.他指出独自驾车的危险。◆I should point out that not one of these paintings is original.我应当指出，这些画没有一幅是真迹。◆'It's not very far,' she pointed out.“那里不太远。”她说道。■ highlight / /ˈhaɪlaɪt/ / [transitive] (especially journalism 尤用于新闻) to emphasize sth, especially a problem, so that people give it more attention 突出，强调（尤指问题）◆The report highlights the major problems facing society today.报告强调了当今社会所面临的主要问题。◆The earthquake highlighted the vulnerability of elevated highways.这次地震让高架公路的弱点暴露无遗。ⓘ Reports, studies, surveys and figures most often highlight a problem, need, issue, danger or difficulty. People might deliberately highlight a problem because they want more people to notice it; or an event might have the effect of highlighting a problem by making people notice it. * highlight的主语常是report、study、survey或figure，宾语最常是problem、need、issue、danger或difficulty。highlight可以表示欲引发关注而故意强调某问题，也可以表示某一事件的发生令某问题受到关注。 see also underline , underscore ⇨ stress ■ ˌdraw aˈttention to sb/sth phrase (drew, drawn)to make people listen to, look at or think about sb/sth 使注意（听、看或想）◆We need to draw people's attention to the dangers of this approach.我们需要让人们注意到这种方法的危险性。◆He took care to avoid drawing attention to himself.他尽量不引起他人的注意。ⓘ In formal language you can also call attention to sth. 在正式用语中，也可以用call attention to sth◆ (formal) He called their attention to the fact that many files were missing.他提请他们注意许多档案已经遗失这一事实。 ■ point to sth phrasal verb to mention sth that you think is important and/or the reason why a particular situation exists 提出，指出（重要的事或理由）◆The board of directors pointed to falling productivity to justify their decision.董事会指出生产率下降这一事实为其决策进行辩护。■ ˌpoint sth ˈup phrasal verb (formal) to have the effect of making people notice sth 强调；明确显示◆The conference merely pointed up divisions in the party.这次会议只是突显了该党内部的分歧。ⓘ Point sth up is often used to talk about making people notice differences or problems within an organization. * point sth up常指使人们注意到某一组织内部的分歧或问题。 |
