用法说明
order, tell, instruct, direct, command
这几个词都含有“叫某人做某事”之义。其区别在于：tell用得最广，语气不太强，是日常生活用词。order语气较强，指按照职位有权要求别人服从命令、指示等。instruct和direct意为对需采取的行动有准确说明，均用于商业或法律场合。command一词主要用于军事上。试比较：
I told you to get here early, so why are you late?我叫你早点来这里， 你为什么迟到了？
The doctor ordered him to rest for a month.医生吩咐他休息一个月。
I am instructed to inform you that the minister does not wish to make a statement.我奉命通知你们，部长不想发表声明。
The judge directed the defendant to answer the question.法官命令被告回答这个问题。
The officer commanded his men to fire.军官命令士兵开火。
