这两个词都可指“尺”。它们的区别在于:rule着重量长度,而ruler既用于量长度,又用于画线条。
这两个短语共同的意思是“通常”。它们的区别在于:前者可以不受时态的限制,而后者则多用于一般过去时。例如:
As a rule he went home twice a week.他照例每星期回家两次。
It snowed all day, but the bus ran as usual.雪下了一整天,可公共汽车仍照常行驶。
这组词共同的意思是“法律”“法规”。它们的区别是:
law含义最广,既可指约定俗成的规范,也可指由地方至国家立法机关所颁布的行为规则,有时也指事物发展的规律;statute指立法机关制定。根据宪法正式批准生效的成文法;而rule则指指导、控制行为或行动的条规和惯例,也可指一组织强制其内部人员必须做什么或绝不能做什么的决定。例如:
When a Bill is passed by Parliament, it becomes a law.当一法案由国会通过时即成为法律。
Protection for the consumer is laid down in plain terms by statute.保护消费者权益是由法律明文规定的。
Anyone who breaks the rules will be punished.凡违反规则者将受到惩罚。
