    spare, save

    这两个词都含有“节省”的意思。它们的区别是:
    spare表示节省、节约,强调舍不得和爱惜的意味; save指省下不花,用于储蓄或积攒。例如:
    If there is any food left over, save it for later.要是有食物剩下来,就留着以后吃吧。

    spare, forgive

    这两个词都可表示“赦免,饶命,宽恕”。它们的区别是:
    spare往往指放过不杀,保全性命; forgive则指“宽恕”,饶过某人的过失,不涉及丧命与否。例如:
    We forgave our friends' faults.我们宽恕朋友们的过失。

    下面两句意思相同:

    Can you spare a few minutes for me today?
    我能占用你几分钟时间吗?

    这组词都可表示“瘦”。它们的区别是:
    spare指人的身材给人以美感的瘦; thin既可指人的身材,也可指人的身体某部位瘦,大多数指因疾病或疲劳而消瘦; emaciated表示的“瘦”主要是由疾病和营养不良造成的; haggard指人的面孔憔悴的,枯槁的,主要是由于忧虑和少眠所致; lean指人天生瘦,是缺少脂肪的意思。例如:
