表达意见
用法说明
say, tell, speak, talk
这几个词都可作“说”解。其区别在于：say和tell侧重表示传递信息，可以是口头的也可以是书面的。tell 后可跟表示人称的直接宾语，交待告诉的对象。say后一般不跟表示人称的宾语。例如：
She told me that she would go there. 她告诉我她要去那儿。
She said that she would go there. 她说她要去那儿。
speak和talk侧重表示发声讲话。除了表示讲某种语言(如speak English)外speak 一般作不及物动词，亦常作“发言”、“演说”解。而talk侧重表示两个或两人以上的“交谈”、“会谈”。试比较：
I'll speak to him about that. 这件事我对他说。
He talked with me about that for hours. 他和我就那件事谈了好几个小时。
