 ♣ be accompanied by，(be) accompanied with
　这两个短语的意思相近，其区别是：
1. be accompanied by是被动式， by的宾语是行为的主体，(be) accompanied with是系表结构，表示一种伴随状态。
2. by后可接人，也可接物，而with后只能接物。
3. 在表示“陪同某人”或“在某人陪同下”时，只能用by，不能用with.
4. 在表示“伴奏”时，接by表示“由某人伴奏”或“以某种形式（音乐、舞蹈、乐队）伴奏”，而with则表示以某种乐器伴奏，试比较：

 ♣ accompany at piano, accompany on piano
　这两个短语的区别是：用at有时仅仅指“玩玩而已”，正式演出则用on.
 ♣ accompany, attend, escort
　这组词都有“陪伴，陪同”的意思，其区别是：
1. accompany和escort指的是一般行为，表示“同时性”，或者作为一种友好的表示。陪伴的对象可为比自己地位高的人，也可是与自己平级的人。accompany仅表示友好，而escort更强调礼仪。
2. attend指的是职务行为，常用于陪伴地位比自己高的人，含有“照料，服侍”的意思，强调“目的性”，如护卫、礼仪等。
3. escort可作“护卫、护送”解，主语可以是人，也可以是物；accompany和attend均无此义。
 ♣ accompany, company
　这两个词词形和词义相近，但前者是动词，多指动态；后者是名词，常指静态，常作keep, bear等的宾语补足语。
 ♣ accompany sb, keep sb company
　这两个短语都可译为“陪伴”，其区别在于：
　keep sb company　的目的是使某人不寂寞，“伴”本身就是目的；而accompany sb的目的不仅是“伴”，更主要的是去（哪里）或做（什么），其后常接副词或副词性短语。试比较：

　accompany　是正式用语，口语中有时可以用go with, see代替。试比较以下两句：

　［派生词］ accompan(y)ist n.伴奏者；伴唱者‖accompanying adj.陪伴的，伴随的
　［同义词］ attend, conduct, go along with, go in company with, guard, be connected with, coexist with, follow, go hand in glove with, to occur with, play accompaniment for, supply music for
　［反义词］ leave
　［词源］古法语accompaignier（伴随）
