辨：let's, let us

[参] silently（adv. 默默地）

辨：silent, quiet

silent与quiet都有“静”的意思，silent是“沉默，寂静”的意思，强调无声的状态；而quiet则是指 “轻声的，安静的”，也可指“（人）文静的，生活安逸的”。

corrupt/ kəˋrʌpt / adj. 腐败的，贪污的 v. 腐烂，腐蚀

[记] 词根记忆：cor（全部）+rupt（断裂）→完全断裂→腐败的

[例] the corrupt politicians 腐败的政客 // Greed corrupted the mayor. 贪婪让这位市长走向腐败。

while/ waIl / conj. 正当…的时候；然而 n. 一小会儿

[用] 1. while引导时间状语从句，表示主句和从句的动作同时发生，从句动词必须是延续性的： While I was walking along the road, I found a bag lying on the ground. 我在路上走时看见地上有一个包。// —I'm going to the post office. —While you're there, can you get me some stamps?—我要去邮局。—你到邮局时帮我买些邮票好吗？2. while引导让步状语从句，相当于although: While I accept that he is not perfect, I do actually like the person. 尽管我承认他不完美，但我的确喜欢他。3. while用作并列连词，表示前后两者的对比： I don't like tomatoes, while Mary loves them. 我不喜欢吃西红柿，而玛丽喜欢。

辨：while, when, as

while, when, as都可以引导时间状语从句。 when和while都可以表示主句动作与从句动作同时发生，when常与一般时态连用，而while引导的从句必须是进行时态或延续性动词： While he stood there he saw two men enter the bar. 他站在那里时，看见两个男人走进了酒吧。as可以表示两个动作同时进行，强调一种伴随关系： As it grew darker it became colder. 随着天色越来越暗，天气变得越来越冷。

while, but

这两个连词虽然在汉语中都可以翻译成“但是”，但but是指逻辑上的转折关系，而while只是一种对比关系。 如： I tried not to be angry with him, but I can't. 我试着不生他的气，但是我做不到。// Fred is very good at science, while his brother is absolutely hopeless. 弗雷德很擅长理科，而他的兄弟则对理科束手无策。
