 ♣ shore, bank, beach, coast
　参见coast条。
 ♣ shore, seashore, seaside
　这组词都含有“岸”的意思。其区别在于：
1. shore指海洋、湖泊及大河的岸；seashore和seaside指海岸、海滨、海边。例如：
　The ship anchored along the shore.　这船沿岸抛锚。
　He fled to the seaside to escape the heat.　他逃到海边避暑。
2. shore含有较强的与“水”相对的意味；seashore指涨潮时被海水冲洗的部分；seaside尤指可供假日休养、游览之处。例如：
　The ship edged away from the shore.　船徐徐离岸。
　The children were playing on the seashore.　孩子们在海边玩耍。
　We were thinking of going to the seaside for the summer.　我们正考虑去海滨避暑。

　我喜欢躺在海滩看周围的人们。
　［误］ I like lying on the shore looking at people.
　［正］ I like lying on the beach looking at people.
　［析］ beach和shore都表示“海滨”。但beach相对来说比较平坦，适于游泳、日光浴等。shore是较为笼统的说法，可以包括beach，也可以指岸石突兀或陡峭的“岸边”。
