【问】 我国出版的英语参考书都强调指出：meet作“遇见、相逢、会见、迎接”解，而meet with则作“偶然碰上、遭遇”解。下面是我国最近出版的《最新高级英汉词典》(商务印书馆，1995年，P.708)对meet with的注释：(1)偶遇：～with a friend in the train在火车上遇到朋友;(2)遭遇;经历：～with misfortunes遭受不幸;(3)获得(同意等)：The plan metwith approval.计划得到了批准。我不知如何解释下列句子里meet with的用法：

1. Immediately on my return I shall meet with you to discuss the matter.

2. We can meet with the professor Monday night.

【答】 在英国英语中一般用meet来表示“会见、会晤、与……会谈”等意思，而在美国英语中则常用meet with来表示上述含义。例如：

1. Waldheim met for an hour Tuesday with Brezhnev.

瓦尔德海姆周二同勃列日涅夫会谈了一小时。

2. The President met with his advisers.

总统会见他的顾问们。

3. The mayor meets with Union officials in an attempt to avert a strike.

市长与工会领导人举行了会谈，试图阻止罢工。

1. You ____John Marshall last year when you were in England. He is over two metrestall.

A. can have met B. may have met

C. can meet D. may meet(Nelson，250A)
