◆ affair; thing; matter; business

◆ as (so) far as; as (so) long as

◇ as(so)far as的意思是“就……而言(所知)”，as (so) far as sth.is concerned是其中一种具体用法，意为“就某事而言”;as (so) long as意为“只要”，引导条件状语从句。如：

As far as I know, more than 10 million laid-off workers have found their new jobs.

就我所知，一千多万下岗工人已经找到了新的工作。

There is nothing that we can’t do so / as long as we keep on trying to do it.

只要我们不断地努力去做，就没有什么事干不成。

As far as the tourism of China is concerned, there is a long way to go.

就中国的旅游业而言，需要做的工作还很多。

◆ asleep/sleeping 二者都是形容词。asleep仅用作表语，不能作定语，表示“睡着，熟睡”的意思;而sleeping一般只能用作定语，放在名词前，表示“睡眠中的，休止的”意思。

如：我们不能说：an asleep baby，但可以说：a sleeping baby(一个熟睡的婴儿)。

再如：He was asleep with his head on his arms.他头枕着手臂在熟睡。

asleeping dog正在熟睡的狗sleeping car卧车 sleeping bag睡袋

◆ assert，affirm，maintain ◇ assert宣称、断言，常指某人主观自信，坚持己见，有时不顾客观事实而断言下结论。◇ affirm指以事实为依据，深信不疑地肯定某种观点或看法。◇ maintain指在相反的证据或论点面前，重申原来的某种观点、立场。

A.Despite all the policeman’s questions the suspect ___ that he had been at home all evening.

B.It is nonsense to ___ that smoking does not damage people’s health.

C.Throughout his prison sentence Dunn has always ___ his innocence.

Answers：A. affirmed B. assert C. maintained

◆ as though;even though;though

◇ as though(=as if)，意为“好像;似乎”，引导方式状语从句或表语从句。如：

He spoke as though(as if)he had been here before.他说话的口气好像他以前来过这里。

It looks as if(as though)it is going to rain.看起来好像要下雨。

◇ even though(=even if)，意为“即使”，引导让步状语从句。though也引导让步状语从句，意为“虽然”;even though有退一步设想的意味，与though不同。though引导的句子所说的是事实，even though引导的句子所说的则不一定是事实。例如：

He will not tell the secret even though(even if)he knows it.即使他知道这个秘密，他也不肯说出来。

He will not tell the secret though he knows it.他虽然知道这个秘密，但他不会说出来。

◆ at the beginning;in the beginning ◇ at the beginning 在……初;在……开始的时候。常与of连用。例如： Students usually have a study plan at the beginning of term. 学生们在开学初制定学习计划。 ◇ in the beginning 相当于at first，表示“起初、开始”时，含“起初是这种情况，而后来却不是这种情况”之意，不与of连用。例如： In the beginning，some of us took no interest in physics. 起初我们有些人对物理不感兴趣。

◇ attack 是常用词, 指"攻击敌人"或"用言论攻击他人", 如:

◇ assail 指"猛烈连续地攻击", 如:

◇ assault 语气比 assail强, 指"突然猛烈地进攻", 暗示"武力的直接接触" (如肉搏等), 也有"暴力"的意思, 如：The enemy assaulted us at dawn. 敌人在黎明时向我进攻。

◇ charge 指"冲击"或"骑兵的突然攻击", 如:

The cavalry charged to the front. 骑兵猛烈向前线冲击。

◇ beset 指"围攻", 即从各个方向攻击, 如：
