1、meet/meet with
（1）.meet 意为“碰见”“遇见”“见到”。
e.g.I'm glad to meet you.很高兴见到你。
He had never met a foreigner who spoke such perfect chinese.
他从来没有遇见一个能说这样好的汉语的外国人。
而meet with则强调“偶然遇到”“碰到”(come across;meet sb.by chance)
e.g.I have met with this word many times in my reading.我在阅读中多次碰到这个词。
I had not seen him for years but met with him in the street yesterday.
我几年没见他了，但昨天在街上碰到了他。
(2).表示主动地去“接”或“迎接”要用meet。
e.g.I'll meet my uncle at the station.我将到车站接我叔叔。
I'm to meet the seven o' clock train.我去接7点钟的火车。
而表示“遭到”“遭遇”(后接抽象名词)，“受到”(=to receive)要用meet with。
e.g.He met with an accident when riding a bike.他在骑车时遇到了意外事故。

e.g.I didn't care to meet these people.我不愿见这些人。

但表示较正式的“会见”“会晤”，常用meet with。

We must try our best to meet the demand of the market.我们必须尽力满足市场的需求。

2.tear(at)/tear down/tear up
(1).tear为“撕，扯”意思，但tear可用于及物或不及物动词(常与at连用，只表“撕，扯”动作本身，并未言及结果)。试比较：

3.China/Chinese/China's/of China
代表国家的专有词“China,China's,Chinese及of China”都可修饰名词，但用法又有所不同。
首先我们对这四个词做一个分析，China既可作名词又可作形容词，作名词时意为“中国”，作形容词时意为“中国的，中国产的”；Chinese同样既可用作名词，又可用作形容词，作名词时意为“中国人，汉语，中文”，作形容词时意为“中国的，中国人的，汉语的，中文的”；China's是China作名词时的所有格形式；of China是China作名词时与of构成的“of-结构”，作名词的后置修饰语，它们都可以修饰名词，其主要区别如下：
1.China与Chinese
(1)两者均可修饰名词，并常构成名词固定短语，表示特殊意义。China表示“中国产的，来自中国的，中国土生土长的”或“在中国流行式样的”，一般指来源。
e.g.China silk 中国丝绸 China tea 中国茶 China rose 月季花
另外，也有些词已形成单独一个词。 e.g.China town中国城，唐人街
但用Chinese时，一般指“与中国(人)有关的或具有中国(人)特点的”，侧重于“具有中国特色的”，更多地是指文化方面，多用于人文。
e.g.Chinese calendar 农历，阴历 Chinese classics 中国古典文学
(2)当China与Chinese与后面的名词构成固定短语时，有时两者可互用。
e.g.China ink=Chinese ink 墨
China wood oil=Chinese wood oil 桐油
但有时用China 或Chinese意义不同。
e.g.China policy 指其他国家的对华政策 American China policy 美国对华政策
Chinese policy 中国人自己所实行的政策
(3)China及Chinese均可构成专有名词
e.g.China Daily 中国日报 China Centre Television 中央电视台
Chinese Academy of Science 中国科学院 the Chinese Olympic Committee 中国奥委会
(4)Chinese除能构成固定名词短语及专有名词之外，还具有普通形容词的两种意思：
a.“中国的、中国人的、中文的”
e.g.Chinese characters 汉字 Chinese food 中国食物
b.“中国风味的”
eg.Chinese dishes 中国菜 a Chinese room 中国式建筑或房间布置
2.China's与Chinese的用法比较
(1)两者都有“中国的”之意，但用China's时，一般把国家作为众人构成的集合体看待，并常用拟人用法。
e.g.China's reform 中国改革
China's foreign trade 中国对外贸易
而Chinese一般只是表达“中国的，中文的”等形容词意义。
e.g.a Chinese girl 一个中国女孩
(2)有时在同一名词前用China's或Chinese时意义不同。
e.g.China's chi-pao 中国生产的旗袍
Chinese chi-pao 中国式样的旗袍(不一定中国生产)
3.China's及of China
(1)China's一般用于人文或与人文有关的场合，而of China一般用于构成所有格，表示所有关系。我们一般用the map of China而不用China's map。
(2)of China还常构成一些专有名词
e.g.the Communist Party of China 中国共产党
the People's Republic of China 中华人民共和国
the People's Bank of China 中国人民银行
注意当涉及到固定短语及专有名词，在判断用哪一种形式时，应以字典为据。
4.would like,feel like
