 ♣ pass, spend
　pass　和spend都有“度过时光”的意思，两个词常常可以互换。其区别是：
1. 在伴随有表示“地点”的副词或副词短语时，通常使用spend而不使用pass.
2. 如果仅仅表示“打发时间，消磨时间”时，较多地使用pass；如果表示“因某种目的而愉快度过，无忧无虑地度过节假日”时，要使用spend；如表示“花费时间做某事”也使用spend一词。例如：
　I spent a good holiday in Spain this summer.　今年夏季我在西班牙度过了一个愉快的假期。
　A week may be spent in seeing the interesting sights of the city.　参观这个城市的名胜古迹可能要用一个星期。

3. 该提案已经委员会批准通过。
　［误］ The motion has been passed by the committee.
　［正］ The committee has passed the motion.
