小编导读：英语是一门非常容易引起混淆的语言，明明两个单词之间只有一两个字母的差别，它们的意思却差之千里。下面我们来看看8组非常容易让人混淆的单词吧。
1.farther 和 further
【例句】Are we going much further or farther?
我们是要更进一步还是要走得更远一些？
语言学界对farther和further之间的区别一直争论不休。有人说它们是用来分别形容比喻性和字面上的距离，事实上，further既可以形容比喻性的距离，也可以形容字面上的距离，但是farther就只能形容字面上的距离了。
2. flaunt 和 flout
【例句】Do you flaunt your wealth or flout your wealth?
你是要炫耀你的财富还是要藐视你的财富？
Flaunt意为“招摇卖弄”而flout则表示“公然无视规则”，所以你可以flaunt your wealth（卖弄你的财富），而不可以flout the laws（藐视法规）。
3. historic 和historical
【例句】The opening was a historic/historical event.
那次对外开放是一次具有历史意义的/历史上发生过的事件。
你也许觉得这两个词意思差不多，都表示“历史的”，其实不然，historic和historical差别还是挺大的，前者意为“历史上著名的、有意义的”，后者意为“在历史上发生过的”。如果一件事情可以用historic来形容，那么也能用historical来修饰，反之则不一定了。
4. pour 和 pore
【例句】Did sweat pour out of his pores?
汗水是从他的毛孔里流出来吗？
Pour意为“像一条小溪那样快速不断地流出”或者“倾泻而出”，而pore则是“你的皮肤上的微小开口”，pore作为动词则表示“凝视、细想”，常与介词over或through连用，比如He pored over the dictionary（他聚精会神地看着那本字典）。
5. adverse 和 averse
【例句】Was he averse or adverse to the idea of getting ice cream?
他是反对（还是不利于）买冰淇淋这个主意？
Averse意为“强烈厌恶或反对某事”，adverse则表示“阻碍某事成功或发展、对其不利或有害”，前者用来形容一个人的态度，而后者可以用来形容某种情况、条件或事件。所以例句中应该用的是averse。
6. flair 和 flare
【例句】She dressed with flair/flare, wearing a blouse with a stylish flair/flare at the ends of her sleeves.
她穿着一件袖子末端缀着时尚的天资/荷叶边的衬衫，打扮得很时髦/闪闪发光。
Flare可以用来表示“突然发生的火光或亮光、突发的情感”，也可以形容“裙子或裤子逐渐变得宽大”；flair则表示“过人的天资、天生的才能”，或意为“时尚、创意”。所以你可以打扮得with flair（很时髦），你的裙子可以有a stylish flare（时尚的荷叶边）。
7. discreet 和 discrete
【例句】Did you mean a discrete voice or a discreet voice?
你是指独立的声音还是谨慎的声音？
Discrete意为“离散的、独立的、不连续的”，discreet可以形容某人“言行谨慎”，也可以形容某物“不引人注目”。有一个分辨它们的小技巧，在discrete里，两个e被t给分开了，所以表示“离散的、独立的”。
8. tortuous 和 torturous
【例句】Are you talking about the tortuous or torturous scenes?
你是在说曲折的还是折磨人的情节？
如果一部电影情节一波三折，那你可以用tortuous来形容它；如果一部电影充满了折磨与拷问的情节，毫无疑问，它可以用torturous来形容。
