round 和around的意思相近,但用法不完全相同.
异同如下:
around and round
作介词用的around与round通常可以互换,只不过美语常用around,而英语常用round,例如:You can see the post office round/around that corner. (绕过那个弯你就可以看到邮局。但是一定要区别它们的不同之处:round可以用作形容词、副词、介词、动词、名词;而around只能用作副词或介词。例如:The post office is just round (around) the house (用作介词). He has round face (用作形容词). The river rounded the stones. (用作动词)
1.在表示"圆形运转,回到原处", "环绕","周围"时,英语用round,但美国人用around, 例如:
The earth revolves round(around)the sun(地球绕太阳运行).
They sat round(around)the table.(他们围着桌子而坐)
New things are happening all round(around) us(新事物在我们周围不断发生)
There is a small restaurant round(around)the corner(绕过街角有一家小餐馆).
2. 美国人以及部分英国人也常用around表示"到处","无目的地","附近","左右"等较为模糊的概念, 例如
The news that President Clinton was coming spread rapidly around the campus(Clinton 总统就要到来的消息很快地就在校园里传开啦)
3.around 还可以表示"不止一处","在许多地方","在不同地方". 但在美国英语里,一般只用around, 例如:
The students are standing around(学生们在到处站着)
They are rushing around in New York.(他们在New York到处奔波).

state, condition, situation都含"情况"的意思。
state 系常用词, 指"人或物存在或所处的状态", 但不着重于"这种状态和具体原因或条件的关系", 如:
He is in a good state. 他身体健康。
condition 指"由于一定的原因、条件或环境所产生的特定情况", 如:
His condition will not permit him to travel. 他的情况不允许他旅游。
situation 指"多种具体情况造 成的综合状态", 常着重"这种状态的影响或和处于该状态的事物的关系", 如:
We are in difficult situation. 我们处于困境。
situation 情形, 境遇, 局势, 多强调国际局势(大环境)
condition 条件, 环境, 社会地位 ,多强调条件因素
state 状态,多强调个人的某种身心状态
1.She is in a good (state) of mind.
2.He is in no (condition) to travel.
3.At that time,the whole country was in a (situation) of war.
4.Now we are studying international (situation).
5.The (state) of his health prevented him from working.
1和5强调个人身心状态 2强调条件 3和4指国际局势
She is in a poor ______of health,which worries her mother much.
A.position B.situation C.state D.condition
答案:C
名词position①“位置”;②“状况,环境”=condition。situation=condition;state of affairs“状态;事态”。state“人或物在环境、外观、心情、健康等方面的状态;情况;情形”。通过语境可知,此处表示的是她的身体状况很差,所以使用state。
He is in no condition [out of condition] to travel. 他的健康状况不宜于旅行。
not in good physical or mental condition;身体或者心理状况不好
out of condition. 健康状况不佳。
Health condition 健康状况
the state of (good) health--especially in the phrases "in condition" or "in shape" or "out of condition" or "out of shape".
健康时的状态,尤其是在以下短语里“身体很好”、“状态良好”或“身体不适”、“状况不佳”。

severe是形容词,用来形容名词。
意为“严重的”“严厉的”
可以指严重的伤口,严厉的人
serious也是形容词。
“严重的,严肃的,认真的”表示对某件事情的态度。或者situation很紧张,很有压力。
和severe可以通用,但是注意一点,就是serious指情况状态 是看不见的东西。意识上的。
而severe可以形容实物,比如伤口,你就能看得见。
severe一般多用于表示苛刻的,冷酷的,是对别人的态度。
