1. hear强调听的结果——“听到”; listen强调听的动作——“倾听”，而不管是否“听到”。例如：
　I listen but heard nothing.　我听了听，但什么都没听到。
2. listen指有意识地听，而hear则不一定是有意地或注意地听。例如：
　If you listen, you can hear the music.　如果你留心听，你就会听到音乐的。
3. hear不用于进行体，而listen可用于进行体。例如：
　She is listening to music.　她正在听音乐。
 ♣ hear from, receive
　这两个词（组）都可表示“接到某人信件”。其区别是：hear from不是指具体接到信件，而是指得到音信、信息；receive往往指收到具体的信件。例如：
　I haven't heard from him for a long time.　我好久没得到他的音信了。
　I haven't received any letters from him for several months.　我已经好几个月没有收到他的信了。
