1、high, tall
这两个词都是"高"的意思。
high 常见用法有:

离开地面的高度或测量的高度,如:
The tower is about 200 meters high. 这座大约有200米高。
比喻性的高,合成词。如:high price(高价), high jump(跳高)。

tall 一般指人和动物的体长或物体高度超过宽度。如:

2、worth, worthy
(1) worth 表示"值"、"相等于…的价值"。表示"价值…"的意思时,常与表示钱方面的名词连用;表示"值得…"的意思时,常与名词连用。它一般用作表语。常用下面两种句型:sth+ be worth + 动名词或名词,It + be worth (one's) while + 动名词(或不定式)。如:
The city is well worth visiting twice. 这个城市很值得再去看看。
=It is worthwhile to visit/visiting the city twice.
=It is worth our while to visit the city twice.
=It is worthwhile for us to visit the city twice.
What you have done is worth praise. 你所做的修复表扬。
(2)worthy 作"值得"、"应……的"、"足以……"解。用作形容词时,表示对某事有资格或合适的意思,通常作表语用。后接of短语或不定式。它还可表示可尊敬的,有价值的等到意思,用作定语。如:
She is worthy of praise.= She is worth praise. 她值得表扬。
The science fiction is very worthy of being read.
=The science fiction is very worthy to be read. 这篇科技故事值得一读。
=The science fiction is well worth reading.
=It is worthwhile reading the science fiction.
=It is worthwhile to read the science fiction.
3、a bit, a little
两个短语都可用定语修饰名词,意思都是"有一点";a little可直接置于名词前,a bit则需要加上of才行。如:
There is a little (或a bit of) water left in the bottle. 瓶子里还剩下一点水。
当它们用作副词词组时,在肯定句子中意思都是"稍微、有点",可以互相换用。如:
I feel a bit/a little sick today. 我今天感觉有点病了。
I'm afraid you speak a little/a bit fast. 恐怕你说的有点快。
在否定句中作副词词组的a bit和a little就不能相互换用。a bit 强化句中的否定。not a bit相当于not at all,意思为"毫不",a little则和句子的否定构成双重否定,not a little等very, much, a lot,为"很多、非常"之意。如:
The car didn't move a bit. 小汽车一动也不动。
I am not a little tired. 我很累。
4、alone, lonely
这两个词拼写和词义都很接近,但含义和用法有差异。alone的意思是"独自、单独"。仅用作表语和副词。放在名词或代词之后,可表示"只有、仅仅"的意思。如:
Most of the time, I am alone at home. 很多时候我独自一人呆在家里。
I can't lift the box alone; I need your help. 我自己抬不动这盒子,我需要你帮忙。
Gifts alone are not enough for a child, because he needs love most. 礼物本身对孩子来说还够,因为他们最需要的是爱。
lonely 既作定语形容词也可作表语形容词。作定时,词义为"孤单的、偏僻的、荒凉的"。如:a lonely traveller(孤身旅行的人), a lonely house(荒凉的房子), a lonely mountain village(荒凉的山村)等。作定语时,lonely表示"寂寞的、孤单的",指因缺乏人作伴而产生的忧郁和寂寞。如:
He lived a lonely life all his life. 他一生过着孤单的生活。
I am alone, but I'm not lonely at all, for I've got a short-wave radio. 我独自一人,但我并不寂寞,因为我有一个短波收音机。
