昂立外語【新概念培訓】分享drop詞匯。下面分別看看drop用法。
drop作為動詞：意為“落下；跌倒；下降；放棄；漏掉”，首先要注意到drop是重度閉音節，過去式過去分詞要雙寫p+ed, drop-dropped-dropped
在Webster字典中的解釋為：
vt. to let (something) fall
人為造成的下落, 故意的或不故意的：
She dropped the apple core into the trash can.
她把蘋果核扔進了垃圾箱。
They dropped bombs on the city.
他們向城市投放炸彈。
He dropped [=lowered] his voice.
他放低了聲音。
She dropped [=reduced] her speed when she saw the patrol car.
看到了巡邏車，她降低了車速。
You have dropped an "f" in your spelling of the word "different"
你在拼寫different的時候漏掉一個f。（不故意的行為）
在新概念第二冊L35中：

在新概念第二冊L53中：

一只鳥從地上抓起蛇，然后把它仍在電線上。（非故意行為）
另外有以下固定搭配：
drop sb. a line 寫信給某人
= write to sb
vi. to change to a lower level, amount, position, etc.
程度、數量、職位等的自動下落
The temperature dropped (to 50 degrees).
溫度下降到50度。
His voice dropped [=became quieter] as he told us the secret.

在新概念第二冊L86中：
Before long, the noise dropped completely and the boat began to drift gently across the water.
不久，噪音徹底消失了，快艇開始在水面上慢悠悠的漂流。
與fall的區別：
fall在Webster字典中的解釋為：
“to come or go down quickly from a high place or position”
See some examples:
An apple fell from the tree. 蘋果從樹上落下來。
A vase fell off the shelf. 花瓶掉落書架。
Rain fell from the sky. 雨從天降。
She slipped and fell on the ice. 她滑倒了，摔在冰上。
Her hair fell loosely over her shoulders. 她的頭發蓬松地披落在肩頭。（What a vivid description!）
不難分析，fall與drop第二層含義一致，強調：“自動下落”,而且更多用于“具體事物”，像數量、溫度、水平等抽象名詞，多采用“drop”這個詞。不過今后隨著我們知識的進一步擴展，這兩個詞的用法也會見到互通之處。中學階段只需辨別出基本差別，并可以順利完成以下習題即可：
試著完成下面練習：
I ______ the glass on the ground which smashed into pieces.
He ____ down the stairs and broke his leg.
(dropped; fell)
drop作為名詞： 翻譯為水滴的“滴”，在英語中是個量詞
在Webster字典中的解釋為：
a very small amount of liquid that falls in a rounded shape
比如水滴、一滴血、一滴雨等。
a drop of …一滴…
a drop of water/blood/ink
一滴水，一滴血，一滴墨水
See more examples:

他一直擠瓶子，知道擠出幾滴才放手。

他感覺到落在手臂上的雨滴，知道天快下雨了。
