说：speak/talk/say/tell这四个词都有“说话”的意思，就像“一家子”，但有区别：[speak]：只是表示“说”、“说话”，或发出话语的声音，而不管内容是什么。如：She is speaking to the assistant.You speak English.[say]：不仅表明“说”，而且是有内容的，在直接引语或间接引语前后，通常都用say ，如：He says hev's going to help me .“I won't come .”said Tom .It's hard to say who it was.[tell]：它的意思是“告诉”，即传达给某人关于别的事情，如：The next day in school, she told Tom about the note .[talk]:意思是“交谈”、“谈论”，一般指相互间的谈话，且没有一定的内容。有时要谈到关于某人某事时，后接介词 about 或 of ，（还可作名词）如：In the bus we sat together and talked.We offen talk about our work and study.I had a long talk with her.
