1. speak 强调单方的“说”或“讲”,一般用作不及物动词,要表示“对某人说(某事)”,可用 speak to [with] sb (about sth)。如:
Please speak more slowly. 请说慢一点。
I spoke to [with] the chairman about my idea. 我跟主席说了我的想法。
2. talk 强调双方“交谈”,一般用作不及物动词,表示“同某人谈论(某事)”,可用 talk to [with] sb (about sth)。如:
He was talking to [with] a friend. 他在同一位朋友谈话。
What are they talking about? 他们在谈论什么?
3. say 强调说话内容,一般用作及物动词。表示“对某人说”,可用 say to sb。如:
Did you say anything (to him)? 你(对他)说了些什么?
He said (that) he wanted to go. 他说他想去。
注:以下句型值得注意:
据说他病了。
正:It is said that he is ill.
正:He is said to be ill.
4. tell 表示“告诉”,可接双宾语,双宾语易位时用介词 to 引出间接宾语。如:
I told him my name. 我把名字告诉了他。
He told his parents the good news. / He told the good news to his parents. 他把这个好消息告诉了他父母。
注:还可接不定式的复合结构作宾语。如:
Tell her to come at once. 叫她马上来。
He told the children not to play in the street. 他叫孩子们不要在街上玩。
另外,有时与介词 from 连用表示“区分”“辨别”等。如:
I cannot tell which is which. 我分不清哪个是哪个。
Can you tell true friends from false friends? 你能分清真假朋友吗?
