【难点】mood 意为“情绪”,be in no mood (to do )意为“全然不想做某事”；feeling意为“情感”；emotion意为“激情，感情”；tendency意为“倾向，趋向”。feeling和emotion辨析:feeling 指人的感觉，如快乐，悲哀，痛苦，钦佩等情感，它本身不反映感情的强弱。emotion指由于受到某种刺激而产生的喜、怒、哀、乐等情感。
【难点】by means of 意为“借助于；用；依靠”。method, way， manner 都有“方法，方式，办法”之意，但彼此间略有不同。method 指精心拟定的一组方法，强调详细，步骤分明。way 即可指单一的技巧，也可指复杂的操作方法，还可指一些人处理某一问题所采用的特殊方法。manner常指一种独特的做事方法。
