 ♣ meet, meet with
　这两个词（组）的共同意思是“遇到，碰到”。其区别是：
1. meet的主语多是主动的；而meet with的主语多是被动的，也就是说， meet指“有意碰到”，而meet with指“偶然碰到”。
2. 在表示“遭到，遭遇”等消极被动意义时，多用meet with，而表示“应付，应对”等主动意义时，多用meet.
3. 美式英语中可用meet with表示“会晤，会见”，相当于英式英语中的meet. 例如：
　The Chairman met with his advisers.　总裁会见了他的顾问们。
 ♣ meet, confront, encounter, face
　参见face条。

1. 我们在什么地方见面?
　［误］ Where shall we meet together?
　［正］ Where shall we meet?
　［析］ meet已含有together的意思，所以不可再用together.
2. 我在办公室遇到他了。
　［误］ He was met in the office by me.
　［正］ I met him in the office.
　［析］ meet作“遇见”解时，不能用于被动结构。
3. 我将尽力地去应付困难。
　［误］ I'll do my best to meet with the difficulty.
　［正］ I'll do my best to meet the difficulty.
　［析］ meet with意为“碰到”“遭遇”，没有主动的意味，而meet则有主动的意味。
4. 在街上走时，我碰巧看见一家书店。
　［误］ While walking in the street, I met a bookstore.
　［正］ While walking in the street, I came across a bookstore.
　［析］ meet暗示双方从相反或不同的方向相对而行，因此，对方往往是人或人性化的或能移动的东西。

　meet　一般不可和together搭配，但在祈祷词或演讲中常可见到We are met here together...。
