词义辨析

wall, cage, coop, enclose, envelop, fence, pen

• 这组词都可表示“包围”“装入”,其区别是：
• fence主要指用栅栏拦开或围起来; cage指关在笼子里,有侮辱意味; coop指被关进笼子般的狭小地方,也指受到更加严格的限制; enclose指设置界限或屏障把某人或某物围在其中,也指把某物装进密封的容器; envelop强调把某物体完全包起来或整个封起来; pen指监禁在狭窄的地方或施加令人不快的限制; wall指筑墙围住或关入围有墙壁的地方。例如:
• After the tiger was caught, it was caged.老虎被捉住后关进了笼子。
• He was cooped up in a tiny room.他被关进小房间。

常见错误

n. (名词)

1. 你看到墙上的洞了吗?

   误 Have you seen the hole on the wall?

   正 Have you seen the hole in the wall?

   析 表示墙上有洞〔门〕时,要用in the wall,因为洞〔门〕都是在墙里面。如指在墙表面上,则用on the wall。
