 ♣ add to, add...to, add up to

1. add to是“不及物动词+介词（短语）”构成的短语动词；add...to是“及物动词+介词（短语）”构成的短语动词；而add up to则是“不及物动词+副词+介词（短语）”构成的短语动词。
2. add to的意思是“增加，增添”， add...to的意思是“把…加到…上去”， add up to的意思是“加起来等于…，总计达…”。
 ♣ add up, add together
　add　后加up或together，都表示“合计”的意思，宾语较短时多用up，较长（特别是有几个并列宾语）时多用together.
 ♣ add up, add up to
　这两个短语的意思相近，都可译为“加起来”，它们之间的区别是：
1. add up的意思是“把…加起来”， add up to的意思是“加起来是（多少）”。
2. add up可用作不及物动词短语，也可用作及物动词短语；而add up to只能用作及物动词短语。
3. add up的宾语一般是figure, bill, receipt, cost等名词；而add up to的宾语则为具体数字。
4. add up用作及物动词时是可分的，其宾语常可置于add与up之间；而add up to则是不可分的，宾语只能位于其后。
5. 这两个短语都可用于比喻意义，此时意思和用法都不相同， add up用作不及物动词短语，意思是“合乎情理”；而add up to用作及物动词短语，意思是“等于，意味着，总起来说”。
 ♣ add up to, amount to, come to, count up to, run into
　这五个短语动词都是“总计”的意思，其差别很细微：
1. 从构成上说， add up to和count up to是动副介型短语；而amount to, come to和run into是动介型短语。
2. 从主语上说， add up to和come to相同，均多为钱、账单、数目等；amount to和run into的主语多为loss, cost, expense, debt, sum等名词；而count up to的主语则仅限It. 例如：
　Our hotel bill added up to〔amounted to, came to〕 300 dollars.　我们的旅馆费共计300美元。
　His debts amounted to〔ran into〕 over 3000 dollars.　他的债务已高达3000多美元。
　It counts up to 300 dollars.　共计300美元。

　It counts up to a considerable sum.　合计起来数目相当可观。
　Losses run into six figures.　损失高达6位数。
4. 从使用场合上说， come to最通俗， count up to不常用。
