4、take the place of, take place
    take the place of是"代替"的意思。若所代替的對象是代詞,則通常采用take one's place的形式。例如:Electronic computers have taken the place of thousands of working people.電子計(jì)算機(jī)代替了千萬個(gè)人的勞動(dòng)。Last night, our monitor didn't come and I was asked to take his place.昨晚我們班長未到,大家要我代替他。
    take place表示"發(fā)生,舉行"的意思,是不及物短語動(dòng)詞,不可用被動(dòng)語態(tài)。它僅用于歷的事件,集會(huì)等,而不用于地震等自然界的現(xiàn)象。它常可與happen換用。例如:In 1919,the May 4th Movement took place in China.1919年,中國爆發(fā)了五四運(yùn)動(dòng)。Battle after battle took place in which the enemy suffered heavy losses.戰(zhàn)斗一個(gè)接一個(gè)地進(jìn)行,在這些戰(zhàn)斗中敵人蒙受了重大損失.  
    5、tell...of, tell...about, tell...from
    tell...of和tell...about中的動(dòng)詞tell后須接表示人的名詞或代詞,介詞of和about后接談到的情況或內(nèi)容,這兩個(gè)詞組在一般情況下可以換用。但在表示提起某事時(shí),傾向于tell...of,在表示詳細(xì)地講述有關(guān)情況時(shí),傾向于用tell...about。例如:She told us of / about the difficulties she had met with in her work.她給我們談了談她在工作中碰到的困難。We must tell them of/ about our decision.我們應(yīng)當(dāng)把我們的決定告訴他們。He told us about the present situation.他給我們談了當(dāng)前的形勢。
    tell...from表示對好壞,優(yōu)劣,真假或兩種事物加以 "區(qū)分"的意思。其
