Do和Make之间，你该如何抉择？

小编曾经说过，翻译并不是学习和理解外语的一种好途径，因为一种语言中的很多词汇，很难在另一种语言中找到100%正确的对应。别说中文和英语，哪怕是相近的语言，由于文化和历史发展的不同，也存在很大差异性。

如果你翻开一本简易词典，你会发现do和make的意思都是“做”，但是你知道他们的区别吗？



由于各自句子、语境的不同，do和make的意思差别也是多种多样。外教老师就说了，这是中国学生经常搞混的一个问题。在实际使用中，你可以根据场景的不同来使用。

Do and Make are both verbs which are confuse by students. Here we will learn about the difference between Do and Make and when to use each one.

When do you use DO?

1. DO is used when talking about work, jobs or tasks. Note, they do not produce any physical object

• Have you done your homework?

• I have guests visiting tonight so I should start doing the housework now.

• I wouldn't like to do that job.

2. DO is used when we refer to activities in general without being specific. In these cases, we normally use words like thing, something, nothing, anything, everything etc

• Hurry up! I've got things to do!

• Don't just stand there – do something!

• Is there anything I can do to help you?

3. We sometimes use DO to replace a verb when the meaning is clear or obvious. This is more common in informal spoken English

• Do I need to do my hair? (do = brush or comb)

• Have you done the dishes yet? (done = washed)

• I'll do the kitchen if you do the lawns (do = clean, do = mow)

Remember Do can also be as an auxiliary verb (for making questions in the present tense - Do you like chocolate?) For more about Do used in this case, see our page about Do vs Does. Here we will be talking about Do as a normal verb.



When do you use MAKE?

1. Make is for producing, constructing, creating or building something new. It is also used to indicate the origin of a product or the materials that are used to make something

• His wedding ring is made of gold.

• The house was made of adobe.

• Wine is made from grapes.

• The watches were made in Switzerland.

2. We also use Make for producing an action or reaction

• Onions make your eyes water.

• You make me happy.

• It’s not my fault. My brother made me do it!

3. You make after certain nouns about plans and decisions

• make the arrangements,

• make a choice

4. We use Make with nouns about speaking and certain sounds

• make a comment

• make a noise

• make a speech

5. We use Make with Food, Drink and Meals

• make a cake

• make a cup of tea

• make dinner



Compare Do and MakeA: You have to make a cake for Simon.B: I’ll do it later.

Notice how in the response the verb DO is used. This is because the meaning is clear and to avoid saying “I’ll make it later.” which could sound repetitive.

在英语里，do和make是两个十分常见的词，因此如果能够分清楚do和make应用的不同领域，那么就能避免很多错误了。
