v.(动词)

1. post作“张贴”解时,用作及物动词,接表示张贴物或内容的名词或代词作宾语,引申表示“宣布”“公告”时,接名词或代词作宾语,也可接以as短语充当补足语的复合宾语。
2. post作“邮寄”解时,可接双宾语,其间接宾语可以转化为介词to的宾语。
3. post作“设岗”“布置岗哨位”解时,其宾语为guard, sentry, soldier等名词,常用介词at引出设岗的“地点”; post引申可表示“派某人做某工作或担负某任务”,只用于被动结构。

1. 英国人一般用post去表示“寄信”，而美国人则习惯用mail一词。

   I shall post the letter to him tomorrow.（英国英语）
   I shall mail the letter to him tomorrow.（美国英语）

2. post同mail的比较：作动词时，post和mail都可加双宾语。mail可统称“信件”，但post却不可以。英国人偶尔也用mail，常包含报纸杂志等。英美人都用mail去统指“一包一包的邮件”。 英美人都常用air mail作航空邮递，mail order作邮购，以及mail train作邮政列车；

   We will post/mail you the booklet early next week.

   He has a large amount of mail to answer every day.
   句中的mail不可改成post。

   The mails arrived by rail.

3. by post的用法比by the post普遍。

   The letter came by (the) post.

4. 美国人常用post no bills指“禁止招贴”，同英国的Stick no bills意思相同。

n.(名词)

post, mail

这两个词的共同意思是“邮件”。其区别是：

1.mail主要用于美式英语; post多用于英式英语。

2.post常可用作定语构成合成词, mail无此用法。例如:

It came in the mail.那东西是邮寄来的。

The post office is quite near.邮局很近。

v.(动词)

post to, address to, mail to

这三个短语结构相同( v. + prep. ),意思相同(将某物寄给某人或某地),用法相同(接表示人或地点的名词作宾语,可用于主、被动结构)。它们之间的区别在于使用场合上,作“寄信”解时可换用。例如:

Please address〔mail,post〕 the letter to Alaska.请将此信按地址寄至阿拉斯加。

而“寄包裹或其他物品”时英国人多用post to,美国人多用mail to。例如:

支票于昨日寄给您了。

The cheque was posted to you yesterday.

(BrE)

The check was mailed to you yesterday.

(AmE)

mail，post

这两个词作名词均可表示“邮件”，作动词均可表示“邮寄”。

mail主要用于美国。

post主要用于英国。

place，position，post，situation

这些名词均有“职位”之意。

place指任何不分高低贵贱的职位；有时侧重指在政府、法庭所谋求的职位。

position侧重指社会地位较高，工作较为庄重，领取工资的职位。

post普通用词，指人的职务，职位，岗位。

situation正式用词，一般指雇员或为富有人家工作所担任的职位，现多见于广告中。

v.(动词)

邮包我已经寄出两天了。

误 I have posted the parcel for two days.

正 I posted the parcel two days ago.

正 It is two days since I posted the parcel.

析 post是瞬间动词,不可与表示一段时间的状语连用。

• ☆ 直接源自古英语的post，意为柱子，门杆；最初源自拉丁语的postis：por (往前） + stare(站），意为站在前面。
