词义辨析

v. (动词)

gather, assemble, collect, congregate

• 这组词都有“收集”“聚集”“收捡”的意思。其区别在于:

• He hung up the map on the wall and collected political cadres and teachers to address them.他把那张地图挂在墙上,召集政治干部和政治教员来给他们讲话。
• 2.gather是收集的最普通用语,指自发地集中在一起或把分散的东西收拢起来,或从不同的方向聚集到一起,胡子眉毛一把抓地堆集,还可指将抽象事物归拢。例如:
• He travels about the world gathering facts about the little-known disease.他走遍世界,收集鲜为人知的疾病资料。
• The hosts are gathered in the adjoining lounge.许多人聚集在隔壁的休息室里。
• More and more water was gathering in the swamp.沼泽地里的水越积越多。

• Assemble your papers and put them in the file.把你的文件归拢好放在这个文件夹内。

• Cattle congregate during a storm.在暴风雨中,牲口聚集在一起。

• amass着重大量地积聚，尤指对如金钱、珠宝等有价值东西的大量积聚。
• collect普通用词，多用于指物，侧重指有区别地作选择或有安排有计划地把零散物集中起来。
• gather普通用词，指人或物或抽象事物都可用。侧重于围绕一个中心的集合、聚集。
• heap主要指把沙、石、煤、草等堆高，不强调整齐。

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 汤姆和约翰汇集到一起。

   误 Tom and John gathered together.

   正 Tom and John got together.

   析 gather有“聚集在一起”的含义,所以当gather后面无宾语使用together,就产生了意义上的重叠。另外,两个人聚到一起也不能用gather,应该用get together。

2. 我们盼望着能再次聚会。

   误 We are looking forward to our gathering again.

   正 We are looking forward to our meeting again.

   析 亲朋好友间的“聚会”多用meet或get together。

3. 我猜你已经采纳了我的意见。

   误 I gathered that you've taken my advice.

   正 I gather that you've taken my advice.

   析 在I gather这样的词组里,通常用一般现在时,而不用一般过去时或现在完成时来引出已经了解到的情况或一段引语。

4. 她的爱好是集邮。

   误 Her hobby is gathering stamps.

   正 Her hobby is collecting stamps.

   析 作为“爱好”而“收集”一般用collect表示,不用gather。gather多作“采集”解,一般指“采集(花等)”。
