重点讲解

1. ease: v. 减轻,放松,缓和,缓慢移动
相关短语辨析:

1) at ease,with ease

这两个介词短语的词义范围和使用场合并不相同。at ease的意思是安逸地、安心地、自在地(feeling confident or relaxed),其反义短语为ill at ease;
with ease的意思是轻松地、容易地(easily or without difficulty)。
就使用场合而言,at ease即可作表语,亦可作状语;with ease 只能用作状语。例:

The old couple are now quite at ease as their son is out of danger.
这一对老夫妻现在可安心了,因为他们的儿子已经脱离危险。
I don't know why he is ill at ease.
我不知道为什么他心神不宁。
They fulfilled the task with ease.
他们轻松地完成了任务。

注:stand at ease是军事术语,义稍息;take one's ease是休息或无拘无束。例:

The soldiers are standing at ease now.士兵们现在在立正稍息。
We are now taking our ease.我们现在是优哉游哉。

With ease 是容易地、不费力地的意思,用作状语。例如:

He writes with ease. 他笔墨流畅。
He can jump over the wall with ease. 他能轻而易举地越过这墙。

2) Put (set) …… at ease 是使……心安的意思。例如:

We put Mary at her ease during hte thunderstorm by reading her stories. 在雷雨时,我们读故事给玛丽听,以使她宽心。

2. wired: 极其兴奋的

3. flail: 使劲地挥舞,挥动,用连迦打,敲打
