accept vs. receive
TEST 哪个才正确

□ accepted □ received
A 应为 received,因为 receive 仅表示收到,至于接不接受则另当别论。

(他已收到我们的邀请,但他不会去。)
一眼就看出不同在哪里!
accept 动 接受;答应;同意
to take sth offered willingly; be willing to agree to sth
表示接受者处于主动,而且是高兴地接受、同意。
receive 动 接收;收到
to be given, presented with, or paid; to accept or take delivery of sth that has been given to you
表示接受者处于被动的地位,不管接受者愿意与否,仅表示收到某物。

accuse vs. charge
TEST 哪个才正确
Q He was __________ of stealing.
□ accused □ charged
A 应为 accused,因为 accuse sb of N/V-ing 是固定短语,若用charge,介词须用 with。
He was accused of stealing.

一眼就看出不同在哪里!
英英释义用法大不同
accuse 动 指责;谴责;指控;控告
to say that someone has done sth wrong or be committed a crime
表示对一般犯错行为的指责或对犯罪的指控、控告,其后搭配使用的介词为 of。
charge 动 指责(公开的); 指控;控告
to claim openly that someone or sth is bad; to accuse someone officially of committing a crime
表示对一般犯错行为的公开指责或正式对犯罪提出指控、控告,其后搭配使用的介词为 with。

STEP 02 比一比,别再用错了!
01
He was accused of the robbery.
他被指控抢劫。
He was charged with the robbery.

02

他们想要向我索取三百元人民币的服务费。
解析 charge 作动词时,还有"索费;收费"的意思。
