1.refuse与deny
当refuse作为及物/不及物动词表示“拒绝接受”时,不可与deny混用:
I offered to pay him for his help but he refused(payment).
他帮助了我,为此我提出要酬谢他,但是他拒绝接受(酬谢)。
但是,当refuse作为及物动词表示“拒绝给予”、“拒绝要求”时,它与deny可以互相替换:
Captain Fawcett has just refused/denied a strange request from a businessman.
弗西特机长刚刚拒绝了一位商人的奇怪要求。
All those not holding tickets will be refused/denied entry.
无票者不得入内。
deny最常用的含义是“否认(指控、做过某事等)”,refuse则没有这个意义:
The secretary denies that she has stolen the letter.
那秘书不承认她偷了那封信。
2.bring,take与fetch
bring表示从某处将某物“带来”; take表示“拿走”;fetch则表示去某地将某物“取来”,是个双程的动作,(bring与take则表示单程的):
If you're going to the kitchen, would you mind bringing me a glass of water please?
如果你去厨房的话,请给我带杯水来好吗?
Did he bring you a gift last Sunday?
上星期天他给你带礼物了吗?
Please fetch me a glass of water.
请帮我取一杯水来。
Take this glass of water to your father.
把这杯水拿给你父亲。
3.too与very
very与too都表示程度,very的意思是“非常”、“很”,too表示“太”、“过于”:

这辆公共汽车走得非常慢。(very只描述状况,不涉及后果)

这辆公共汽车走得太慢了。我会赶不上火车的。(too表示“太……”以至于引起某种后果)
