 ♣ call at, call on
　这两个短语的共同意思是“拜访”。其区别是：
1. call at接地点名词，即某人的住处或工作单位；call on接表人的名词。
2. call at强调目的性，且通常时间较短；而call on则指因公或社交，较正式。
3. call on可接以动词不定式充当补足语的复合宾语，意思是“请〔号召〕某人做某事”；而call at无此用法。
4. call at还可作“（车、船）停靠”解；而call on无此义。
 ♣ call on, call in
　这两个短语都可表示“拜访”，前者是较正式的访问，后者则指顺路短暂停留。
 ♣ call sb's name, call sb names
　这两个短语的意思完全不同。前者是“叫某人的名字”，后者是“骂某人”；前者可视实际情况而用name或names，而后者无论是一个人还是几个人，均用names. 试比较以下两个句子：

 ♣ call, cry, shout
　这组词都有“叫”的意思。其区别是：call类似汉语中的“呼叫”，指为引起他人的注意而大声说；cry类似汉语中的“喊叫”，指表达感情（如痛苦、害怕等）和要求而大声叫；shout类似汉语中的“呼喊”，兼有 call和 cry的共同含义“大声喊”。试比较以下三个句子：

 ♣ call, name
　这两个词在与after构成短语表示“取名”“以…的名字命名”时，一般可以通用。例如：
　The girl was called〔named〕 Mary after her mother.　这女孩随她妈妈也取名叫玛丽。
　Tasmania was named〔called〕 after its discoverer, A. J.Tasman.　塔斯曼尼亚岛是以它的发现者塔斯曼命名的。
　这两个词之间的区别是：
1. call的意思是“把…叫做…”，过去时、现在时或将来时都可以用；name则指“起名字”的一次性动作，一般不用于现在时。例如：
　What are you going to call〔name〕 the baby?　你打算给婴儿取什么名字?
　She had a daughter last year. They call her Cage.　她去年生了个女孩，他们把她叫做“凯奇”。
　Her father named her Cage.　她父亲给她取名“凯奇”。
2. name指正式的命名， call则既可指正式的命名，也可用于别称。例如：
　His name is Brooks but we call him Jim.　他的名字是布鲁克斯，但我们都称他为吉姆。
　It was named the Youth Canal.　它被命名为青年渠。
　We call him Iron Ox.　我们管他叫铁牛。
3. 在表示“叫出名字”“提出”“提名为，任命”时，只能用name，不能用call；而在表示“呼叫”“拜访”“认为”时，只能用call，而不能用name.
 ♣ call, phone, ring
　参见phone条。
 ♣ call, drop in, see, visit
　这组词均有“拜访”之意。它们之间的区别是：
1. 从语气上说：visit是正式用语；call比较正式；drop in则是日常用语，有“顺便”“不定期”的意味；see一般用于亲友间的访问。例如：
　The foreign delegation is visiting in Beijing.　外国代表团正在北京访问。
　The Britain Ambassador called on Premier Zhou Enlai yesterday.　英国大使昨天拜会了周恩来总理。
　He sometimes drops in to see me in the evening.　他有时晚上来看我。
　I'll go to see my parents tomorrow.　明天我要去看望父母。
2. 在使用场合上：call和visit都可用于社交和公务，但医生到病人家出诊则要用visit. 例如：
　I visited〔called〕 on the foreign guests yesterday.　昨天我走访了外国客人。
　In China, restaurant and hotel kitchens are visited〔called〕 on regularly by officers of public health.　在中国，卫生人员经常检查饭店和旅馆的厨房。
　The doctor is out. He went to visit an emergency case.　医生不在。他有急病号，出诊去了。
3. call的时间一般都很短暂，而visit逗留的时间则较长。试比较以下两个句子：

4. visit在英国较少用，一般情况下都用call. 如果用了visit，则含有“逗留几天”或“出于公务〔职务〕的要求”的意思。
5. 社交场合用的“名片”英美说法不同。美国称calling card，英国称visiting card.
 ♣ call, convene, convoke, invite, muster, summon
　这组词都表示“召开，召集”。其区别是：convene的词义比较广，既可指召集某个团体，也可指单独调某人；而convoke所表示的召集意思更正式，更具权威性，而且所召集的机构往往有权通过决议或有执行权；call和summon只用于指召集政权机构、正式会议等，而不用于指召集某些人，但summon的主体一般是有权的，要召集的态度也更坚决；muster不是表示召集，而是调集很多人于一地，它跟本组其他词的不同在于：它往往表示为检阅、演习等目的而调集，客体带有军事性质；invite则是客气地邀请，被邀者出席与否可以自愿选择。
