求问几个英语同义词之间的不同之处？高手进！

Question

Lucifer、Satan、Devil、Demon

Answer 1

1.tall和high的区别
⑴说人，动物，树木等有生命的东西，主要用tall，不用high，例如
a tall woman 一个高个子妇女
a tall horse 一个高大的马

⑵说一个不与地面接触的人和物的高时，要用high，而不用tall，比如人站在桌子上时，飞机飞上天时，例如：
He is high up in the tree.
他高高地爬在树上。
The plane is so high in the sky.
飞机在空中这么高。

⑶指建筑物、山时要tall或high都可以，不过high的程度比tall高。

⑷high可作副词，tall不能。

⑸tall的反义词为short, high的反义词为low.

2.when ,as ,while 的区别
①when是at or during the time that, 既指时间点，也可指一段时间；

while是during the time that，只指一段时间，因此when引导的时间状语从句中的动词可以是终止性动词，也可以是延续性动词，而while从句中的动词必须是延续性动词。

②when 说明从句的动作和主句的动作可以是同时，也可以是先后发生；while 则强调主句的动作在从句动作的发生的过程中或主从句两个动作同时发生。

③由when引导的时间状语从句，主句用过去进行时，从句应用一般过去时；如果从句和主句的动作同时发生，两句都用过去进行时的时候，多用while引导，如：

a. When the teacher came in, we were talking.

当此句改变主从句的位置时，则为：

While we were talking, the teacher came in.

b. They were singing while we were dancing.

④when和while 还可作并列连词。when表示“在那时”；while表示“而，却”，表对照关系。如：

a. The children were running to move the bag of rice when they heard the sound of a motor bike.

孩子们正要跑过去搬开那袋米，这时他们听到了摩托车的声音。

b. He is strong while his brother is weak.
他长得很结实，而他弟弟却很瘦弱。

as跟when差不多，正当。。。的时候的意思（AS还有很多意思）

As she left the room she remembered the phone number.

瞬间动词（终止动词）和延续性动词
瞬间动词： 去 走 来 离开 之类的动词,延续动词多用于for引导的完成时态。
I will go to japan next week（短暂）
i have been to japan for three times(延续）
i have been in japan for several years(延续）
i have lived in japan since i was 10(短暂）
i forgot to bring my book with me.(短暂，我把我的书忘在教室了）
i have left my book in the classroom（延续，我把我的书遗忘在教室了。表明状态，现在还留在）

3. with 与by 的区别
一、表示使用有形的工具时，通常用with来表示。例如：

用钢笔写 write with a pen

用肉眼看 see with naked eyes

用锤子敲打 strike with a hammer

用秒表计量 measure with a stop watch

用空气冷却 cool with air

用毛巾擦 rub with towel

二、表示采用某种方式或手段时，用by表示。例如：

用无线电联系 reach by radio

用耳机收听 listen to by earphone

用手工制造 make by hand

用电话通知 give information by telephone

用信通知他 let him know by letter

注意：作“用”讲时，by和with的区别在于：with表示行为动作的工具，后面的名词一般要有冠词；by表示动作的手段，后面的名词一律不带冠词。

Answer 2

God created many angels, one of whom is the amazing and good angel called Lucifer, meaning 'Light Bearer' (掌灯者) or 'Morning Star' (启明星，即金星). The good angel later wanted to become God and have total power. He rebelled against God and became a fallen angel. Lost in the battle, he was called Satan, which means 'adversary' or 'enemy' and indeed he is considered by many as the enemy of God and all mankind.

In his rebellion, Satan took as many as a third of all the angels with him. These are now what are commonly called demons, meaning 'fallen angels' or 'evil spirits ' or 'unclean spirits'. Since Satan is one of those evil spirits, he is called a demon as well.

In mainstream Christianity, God and Satan are usually portrayed as fighting over the souls of humans, with Satan seeking to lure people away from God and into Hell by slandering (恶语中伤) or accusing God (说上帝的坏话). So Satan is also called the devil, meaning “slanderer” or “accuser”.

In the Bible there is no indication of when the war between God and Lucifer was fought. It occurred sometime between the creation of the Earth and the tempting of Eve (and Adam) in the Garden of Eden. It was Satan, in the form of a serpent (or snake), who tempted them and caused them to sin. Because of this, Satan is sometimes called a snake, serpent or dragon.

So they are different names used to refer to the same thing with different denotations and connotations.
