动词speak和 talk 一般都指‘say words’, 但在用法上有一些小的不同。Speak比talk改正式。

英语混同 :

比拟:

I need to speak to you.我要和你谈谈。正式的。有可能：1.– 措辞者不太领会你。2.– 这是在正式场所，如事情场所。3.– 这人说的话很首要/很严厉。

I need to talk to you.我要和你谈谈。非正式的。有可能：1.– 措辞者是你的朋侪。2.– 固然措辞者是你不太领会的人，但他们要说的长短正式的。

咱们凡是利用 speak举行正式的演媾和讲座，利用 talk 举行非正式的演讲：

Dr Graham Foster will speak about the history of the region.Graham Foster博士将讲述这个地域的汗青。

Kyle is going to talk us through the benefits of the software and then Liz will talk about the marketing plan.凯尔会奉告咱们软件的益处，然后利兹漫谈论营销规划。

当咱们提到说话时，用 speak:

How many languages do you speak?你会说几种说话？毛病: How many languages do you talk?I wish I could speak Italian.毛病: … talk Italian.

Speak凡是重点只集中在措辞的人身上：

He spoke about the importance of taking exercise and having a good diet.他谈到了熬炼和杰出饮食的首要性。

Talk重点在于一个措辞者和最少一个听众，意思是“举行谈话”：

I hope I can meet you to talk about my plans for the company.我但愿能见到你谈谈我对公司的规划。毛病Not: I hope I can meet you to speak about my plans …

德律风扳谈用speak :

please?
