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。

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。

注:有时可用作及物动词,表示“谈论”、“讨论”等,但此时通常只与个别名词连用。如: talk business 谈正事

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?

注:以下句型值得注意:

It is said that he is ill. 或 He is said to be ill. 据说他病了。

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:

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:

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。

5. 注意习惯表达:

(1) 表示“演说”、“演讲”、“发言”等,一般用 speak 。如:

Who is going to speak at the meeting? 谁将在会上发言?

(2) 表示“讲故事”、“说谎”等,一般用 tell。如:

He often tells us interesting stories. 他经常给我们讲有趣的故事。

(3) 表示“说某种语言”,一般用 speak (及物)。如:

Do you speak French? 你会说法语吗?

注:偶尔用动词 talk 表示“说”某种语言,但很少见。

(4) 在某些搭配中,有时可有多种表达。如:

say/speak a word 说句话 say/tell/speak the truth 讲真话

Dear Tom,

As you have asked, my may holiday would be to rest (because of the burden from school and excercising) and to visit my grandparents in the countryside. Of course, I will tell them about或者这一个

Dear Tom,

How are you getting on these days? I’ve just finished my final exam. After working hard for a long time, I really want to have a good rest during the winter vacation. First, I’m going to watch some interesting movies and read some good books. Then, it’s time to communicate with my parents. I wish to share my happiness and sadness with them. Besides, I plan to help do some housework. At last, I hope to be a volunteer, helping the old and disabled as much as possible. In this way, I can know about the world better.

By the way, how will you spend your vacation?

Best wishes!

假如你是李华,

你的笔友Tom最近心情不好,

请你给他写一封如何保持心情愉快的信。

How is everything going! Last time you said you are anxious now because you find it hard to learn English well. Don’t worry. I think you have to improve your English step by step. And I will right behind you. In my view, you should develop you interest on English first. According to my experience, I think watching English movie, listen to some wonderful English songs and talk in English on the Internet would be helpful. Secondly, you have to prepare lessons before class that will help you understand what the teacher says in the class. I know you feel bored in the class, but you have force yourself to be concentrated. A few days later you will feel it a little easy to learn English. The left steps I will tell next time.

By the way

, we have not seen each other since your family move to Hunan a year ago. Have you ever thought about going back to visit me and learn English together in the coming Summer vacation. Looking forward to your reply.
