-The police had anticipated trouble from the soccer fans and were at the ground in large numbers.I recognize the face but can’t recall her name.-I don’t recall ever meeting her.-She recalled that she had to see the doctor again that afternoon.CF: recall, remember & remind
这三个词都与“记忆”有关,前两个词有时可通用。
recall“想起”,把忘记的东西又想起来了,其动作包含有意识的努力,因此常与 can,could 等词连用,强调一次的回忆。例如:
-Try as I might, I could not recall where I had left the book.(我怎么也想不起来我把书丢在哪里了。)
-I remember her face but I cannot recall where I met her.(我记得她的脸,但是想不起在什么地方见过她。)
remember “想起”,用处比较广泛,指事物自然在记忆中出现,不包含努力或意志。例如:If you command wisely, you’ll be obeyed cheerfully.([谚语]指挥有方,人人乐从。)
-He is not fit to command others that cannot command himself.([谚语]不能指挥自己就不能指挥别人。)
NB:
像 suggest, demand 等动词一样,跟在 command后面的 that 从句中要用虚拟语气,谓语用“should+原形动词”或直接加原形动词,而不管从句中的人称或时态。例如:
-He commanded that all the gates(should)be shut.hold back:
1)prevent the expression of(feelings, tears, etc.)
-Johnny cried bitterly in the classroom, not even attempting to hold back the tears.2)make sb.or sth.stop moving forward

-You could become a good musician, but your lack of practice is holding you back.4)keep(sth.)secret

avoid: vt.keep or get away from(usu.followed by noun / gerund)
-The little boy who had broken a neighbor’s window ran away to avoid punishment / being punished.-我横穿马路以便避开他,但他看到了我并朝我跑过来。(I crossed the street to avoid meeting him, but he saw me and came running towards me.)
NB: 英语中有些动词或词组后面只能跟名词或动名词,不能跟不定式,如:avoid,deny,enjoy,escape,finish,mind,miss,postpone,suggest,feel like,give up,put off 等,我们在使用中要特别注意。
