指“快速而緊緊地抓住”，用于比喻意義時指“掌握”，“領會”。例如：Idon’tknowhowmanytimesIhaveexplainedthisword,yethestillfailstograspit.這個詞我都不知道解釋多少遍了，可他還是不能理解。DR_word_takesth.off3grab指“搶奪”，“攫取”，常表示粗魯地甚至不顧侵犯他人權利地抓取。例如：CF:Howcanyougrabthecreditfortheworkdonebyothers?你怎么能無功受祿呢？snatch指“突然快速地拿、取、奪、搶走”，強調拿取時動作的突然，而不表示是否拿得穩(wěn)或緊。例如：Thenaughtyboysnatchedhisaunt’shandbagandranaway.這個淘氣的小男孩一把搶走他阿姨的手提包，跑了。DR_word_takesth.off41.Theboytheappleandranoff(withit).

CF:Collocation：肥沃的土壤/土地fertilesoil/fields

DR_word_fertile3fruitful

指“促進多產的”，在指土壤時，可代替fertile；它也可指結果，尤其是“好結果”。例如：CF:那些討論證明是卓有成效的。Tductive指人或事物“多產的，有成果的”，是一個意義很廣泛的詞。例如：他是位多產作家。Heisaproductivewriter.肥沃的土壤能種出好莊稼。Fertilesoilyieldsgoodcrops.DR_word_request1request:1.v.

ask(aperson)todosth.AllIrequestofyouisthatyoushouldbeearly.我對你的唯一請求是要你早點到。Irequestedhimtousehisinfluenceonmybehalf.我請求他為我使用他的影響力。這三個詞都可作動詞用，都有“要求”的意思。request意思是“請求（某人）做某事”，側重請求。例如：request,ask&solicitCF:DR_word_request2ask作“詢問”，“提問”，“要求”講時，指某人對不知道或不明白的事情、道理提出問題，請別人解答；作“要求”講時，側重要求得到某物。例如：CF:他向他父親要的太多。Hehasaskedhisfatherfortoomuch.solicit是正式用語，指“恭敬或認真地請求”?，F(xiàn)在多用于“請求別人注意”，因而常見于商業(yè)用語中。例如：《中國日報》正在征求訂戶。ChinaDailyissolicitingsubscriptions.敬請您光臨宴會。Youaresincerelyrequestedtobepresentattheparty.DR_word_request3request一詞后如果接賓語從句，則從句中用虛擬語氣should+v.（原形），或省略should，直接用v.（原形）。NB:Mr.PainerequestedthatI(should)handinmyhomeworkbeforeFriday.佩恩先生要求我星期五之前交作業(yè)。類似的用法還有suggest,advise,demand,order及這些詞的名詞形式。Hegaveusasuggestionthatwe(should)stayathomeontheNationalDay,becausetherewerecrowdseverywhereinthecity.2.n.
