D
1、damage, harm, hurt, injure, spoil
乍看这几个词，觉得意思都差不多。它们都有“损害，伤害，破坏”的意思。其实，它们之间还是有不同的。damage: “毁坏，损坏”，主要指造成价值，效用，完整性方面的损坏。例如：Mr. Smith, I wonder if we could arrange a talk about the damaged cargo sometime.史密斯先生，我们能不能安排个时间商谈破损货物的问题。The water they had thrown over everything to put out the fire damaged the books.为了灭火，他们把水往一切东西上泼，把书也损坏了。
harm: “损害，伤害”，词义具体，强调带来损失，病痛或痛苦。Though he knows clearly that smoking harms his health, he simply cannot give it up.虽然他很清楚吸烟对身体有害，但他就是戒不了。
hurt: “疼痛，伤害”，尤其指感情或身体遭受创伤。Nothing hurts more than a bad tooth, so he had to go to the dentist to have it pulled out.没有比牙齿坏了更疼痛的了，所以他不得不找牙医拔掉那颗坏牙。My little boy fell off a ladder and hurt himself.我的儿子从楼梯上摔了下来，把自己摔伤了。
injure: “伤害，损害”，一般常指不公正地对待或冤屈某人，即有意识地侵害别人的权利或毁坏别人的健康、成就等，也可以指外表、健康、安逸等遭受破坏。The gas polluted the surroundings and injured the health of workers and residents of the area.这种气体污染环境，损害工人和该地区居民的健康。
spoil: 有强烈的“毁坏，毁灭”之意。指不仅造成价值，精力，兴致的“损伤”，还意味着可能造成某种毁灭或彻底破坏，也有“宠坏”的意思。John joined the party and spoiled the pleasure of everyone by his impolite behavior.约翰参加了这个晚会，他的不礼貌行为破坏了大家的兴致。Quarreling completely spoiled the dinner, which broke up in discord.争吵完全破坏了了宴会的气氛，结果宴会不欢而散。I do hate to spoil your fun, but I've got something urgent to tell you.我真不愿扫了你的兴，但我有紧急的事必须告诉你。
2、dare not , don't dare
dare是“敢”的意思，它既可作情态动词，也可作实义动词。dare not中的dare是情态动词，后接动词原形。dare作为情态动词，其过去式为dared。 如：I dare not think of it.我不敢想这事。He dared not go near the woods in the daytime.白天，他不敢到灌木丛附近去。作为情态动词的dare除用于否定句外，还可用于疑问句和条件句，但不能用于肯定句。 如可以说 Dare you say so before your parents?和Jump now if you dare，但不可以说I dare touch it.
don't dare中的dare是实义动词，后面要接动词不定式。如：I did not dare to move.我不敢动。He had never dared to ask her to go anywhere with him.他从来不敢要求她跟他去任何地方。作为实义动词的dare与其它实义动词一样，可以用于肯定句，疑问句和条件句等。如：She dared to go there alone.她敢一个人去那里。Do you dare to come here?你敢一个人来这儿吗？
dare与普通实义动词的不同之处在于：在否定句和疑问句中，dare后的不定式往往可以省去 to。如：He didn't dare (to) say that to my face. 他不敢当面对我说这些。Do you dare (to) climb that high mountain? 你敢爬那座高山吗？
3、dangerous, in danger
dangerous是形容词，意为“危险的”， 指一切能或者可能引起危险的人或事物等，有对某人或某事物构成威胁的意味。例如：He is a dangerous person.他是一个危险的人物。It&n
