【词义辨析】
plead, appeal, beg, petition, entreat, pray,
plead: 指谦卑而又不失尊严地请求，侧重迫切感。
appeal: 常指以道义原则为基础或以法律为依据的请求。
beg: 比plead通俗，不用于法律范畴，指低声下气地请求，有时含贬义，指某人喋喋不休地要求得到帮助。
petition: 指正式而热切地请愿或祈求。
entreat: 的意义与beg的大致相同，但较文雅。
pray: 指祈求，多用于宗教用语中。
【词语用法】
appeal作不及物动词时，后面常接to，而appeal to常表示不同意思。例：appeal to the court (向法院上诉)， appeal to history (弓|证历史)， appeal to the public (向大众呼吁)， appeal to patriotism (引起爱国心)， appeal to force (求助于武力)。
I appeal to you to say whether I am not right.

在美国，appeal还常作及物动词，指将（案件）上诉。

在英美，appeal against均指因不服……而上诉。
He is going to appeal against the decision.
他不服这个决定，要去上诉。
在appeal to 后接宾语再加不定式时，要注意不定式所修饰的对象会不同。
The boy appealed to his mother to tell him what to do.
The boy appealed to his mother to know what to do.
第一句的to tell是appealed to的表语，属于his mother，而第二句的to know表示目的，属于the boy。
上诉人是appellant，注意不要错用appealer来表示。
