Words not to be confused

25. Analyse the differences between the vocabulary items in the first three pairs and explain the difference in the rest. Use a dictionary.

a) in spite (of) – despite

Both the items have got the same meaning – not prevented by, but they function differently in contexts. In spite is always followed by the preposition of. In spite of his illness he came to our meeting. Despite his illness he came to our meeting. Dictionaries stress that in spite of is often followed by the gerund. In spite of being hungry he refused to go to the restaurant.

The usual context for in spite of is in the construction in spite of the fact. Jane nodded in spite of the fact that she couldn't agree.

b) require – demand

Demand means to ask firmly for sth. Cf.: I demand an explanation (Я требую объяснений).

Require means:

1) to need. Cf.: Is there anything you require? (Тебе что-нибудь нужно?) It is also possible (but less frequently) to use demand to express the same idea. Cf.: This requires/demands careful investigation.

2) to ask or order someone to do something (often in the passive voice). Cf.: All passengers are required to show their tickets.

c) seek (for) – look for

Both the verbs have the same meaning – try to find sth – but they differ in style. Seek is a formal word, look (for) belongs to the basic vocabulary. “We are earnestly seeking for the truth,” said the lawyer. – I can’t find my glasses. Will you look for them?

d) feast – holiday

e) feast – meal

f) pupil – disciple

25. Проанализируйте различия между лексическими единицами в первых трех парах и объясните разницу в остальных. Используйте словарь.

Ответ:

d) feast – holiday

A holiday is a day of festivity or rest from work. A feast is a large, special meal, often to celebrate something. A holiday is a day, while a feast is an event centered around food that can happen on a holiday. (Holiday — это праздничный или выходной день. Feast — это большой, особенный прием пищи, часто в честь какого-либо события. Holiday — это день, в то время как feast — это событие, связанное с едой, которое может происходить в праздничный день.)

e) feast – meal

A meal is any of the regular occasions in a day when food is eaten, like breakfast or dinner. A feast is a very large, elaborate, and celebratory meal. So, a feast is a special kind of meal, but not every meal is a feast. (Meal — это любой регулярный прием пищи в течение дня, например, завтрак или ужин. Feast — это очень большой, изысканный и праздничный прием пищи. Таким образом, feast — это особый вид meal, но не каждый meal является feast.)

f) pupil – disciple

A pupil is a person, especially a child, who is taught by a teacher at school. A disciple is a strong follower of the teachings of a leader, philosopher, or religious figure. Disciple implies a deep personal commitment and belief, while pupil usually refers to formal education. (Pupil — это человек, особенно ребенок, которого учит учитель в школе. Disciple — это убежденный последователь учения лидера, философа или религиозного деятеля. Disciple подразумевает глубокую личную приверженность и веру, в то время как pupil обычно относится к формальному образованию.)
