 ♣ become, be
　become　与be是常用的系动词。其区别是：
1. become是非延续性动词，不可与表示延续性的时间状语连用；而be则是延续性动词，可表示状态，能与表示延续性的时间状语连用。
2. become不可用于被动结构；而be则可用于被动结构。
3. become不可接动词不定式；而be则可接动词不定式。
 ♣ become, come, go, grow, turn
　参见come条。
 ♣ become, go
　这两个词的共同意思是“变得”。其区别是：
1. 当表示人们感情上的变化时，通常用become；指人的身体上的变化时，可用go或become. 例如：
　He became aware of the gravity of the situation.　他开始意识到情况的严重性。
　She became〔went〕 mad.　她疯了。
　His mother became〔went〕 blind.　他母亲双目失明了。
2. 如果是事物起变化，则好的或希望得到的结果使用become，坏的或不受欢迎的结果使用go. 例如：
　The milk went sour.　牛奶变酸了。
　Fish soon goes bad in hot weather.　热天鱼很快会坏。
3. 如果句子强调的不是变化本身，而是变化后的最终结果，通常用become，后面接一个表示结果的形容词。例如：
　He has become accustomed to his new duties.　他对他的新职务已习惯了。
 ♣ become, alter, change, convert, modify, turn, vary
　这组词的共同意思是“改变”“变化”。change和alter有时可以互换。例如：
　Whatever we do, we can't change〔alter〕 the facts.　不管我们做什么，我们总不能改变事实。
　He has changed〔altered〕 a lot since I last saw him.　自从上次见面到现在，他变了很多。
　The weather changes〔alters〕 almost daily.　天气差不多天天在变。
　其区别是：
1. change在这几个词中是最普遍、最不正式的一个，可用于任何变化的过程，而不论变化的性质和程度；alter指局部的、表面的、轻微的“改变”“改动”，修改后仍基本上保持原状；alter和convert都指形式和用途上的局部微小改变；turn指彻底改变，以至面目全非，且常用于朝坏的方向改变；modify指限定在一定范围内的修改或修饰，以使之更完美；vary则指事物或其一部分暂时地或反复地变化，从而使事物各部分呈现不同外貌和特点。例如：
　When matter changes to a substance different from what it was, the change is a chemical change.　当物质变成和原来不同的物质时，这种变化是化学变化。
　The plan is O. K. at large, but I suggest it be altered.　该计划总的来说是可以的，但我建议做进一步修改。

　You'd better modify your tone.　你最好缓和一下你的口气。
　He will have to modify his views if he wants to be elected.　他如果想当选，就得把观点变得明朗些。
 ♣ become, turn into
　这两个词（组）的共同意思是“变成”。其区别是：become着重目前状态；turn into着重改变用途。例如：

1. 她开始喜欢游泳。
　［误］ She became to like swimming.
　［正］ She began to like swimming.
　妇女们正在变得更加独立自主。
　［误］ Women are becoming to be more independent.
　［正］ Women are becoming more independent.
　［析］ become后面不接动词不定式。
2. 他最近怎么样?
　［误］ What has become to him lately?
　［正］ What has become of him lately?
　［析］ become of表示“…怎么样”，是习语，此处的of不能用to替代。
3. 该货变成畅销货将近一年了。
　［误］ This product has become a best seller for nearly one year.
　［正］ This product has been a best seller for nearly one year.
　他当了两年技术员。
　［误］ He has become a technician for two years.
　［正］ He became a technician two years ago.

4. 这些相同之处使他们成为知己。
　［误］ These similarities made them become close friends.
　［正］ These similarities made them close friends.
　［析］ make的意思是“使成为”，已含有become的意思，再用become是多余的。
5. 她脸变得和一张白纸一样。
　［误］ She was become as white as a sheet.
　［正］ She became as white as a sheet.
　［析］ become不可用于被动结构。

　become　一般不用于进行时态，但有时为了生动，或为了留有余地，可以用于进行时。例如：
　You are becoming something of a diplomat yourself.　你变得有点外交家的味道了。
　
　It's becoming just a place for you to dump your books.　你为什么把这间屋子弄得空空荡荡的?它简直成为你扔书的地方了。
