词语辨异
 ♣ coast, bank, beach, shore
 这四个词的共同意思是“岸”。其区别是:
1. coast指的是陆地和海交界的一条狭长的海岸,通常和地理位置、天气、海防等密切联系在一起。例如:
 There are many islands off the England coast. 英国海岸有很多岛屿。
 shore 含义较广,一般指陆地和较大水域的交界地带,是和水相对而言的。例如:
 They have a beautiful house on the shore of the lake. 他们在这个湖畔有一所美丽的房子。
 bank 一般指的是河岸,有较大的坡度,含有“堤”的意思。例如:
 We stand on the river bank to fish. 我们站在河岸上钓鱼。
 beach 一般只是shore或coast的一部分,是被海(湖或河)水冲刷而有沙或卵石积存的地方,可作“沙滩”解。例如:
 They spent their holiday at a pleasure beach in Hawaii. 他们在夏威夷美丽的海滩上度过了假日。
2. beach和shore都可以表示“海滨胜地”,但shore指近海的地方, beach则指那些有海滨浴场或可进行阳光浴的海滩,且beach也可用来指河岸,但坡度较缓,一般涨潮时有水,退潮时无水,而且通常指沙滩,而不是泥岸。例如:
 I spent the summer at the shore but I only spent a part of each day at the beach. 我这一夏天都是在海滩上度过的,可在海滨浴场中却只花了一部分时间。
 A beach was formed along the wide bend of the river. 在宽阔的河曲处形成了一条河岸。
