(三)注意搭配习惯

同义词往往在用法上有较大差别。其中非常重要的一方面是搭配习惯的不同。比如，撤销、取消、取缔、吊销，四个词都指取掉，但对象不同。“撤销”的对象多是决定、职务或机构；“取消”的对象是制度、资格或其他抽象事物；“取缔”则指国家专政机关禁止一些团体或活动；“吊销”主要的对象则是证书类的执照等。例如：

(1)那位贪污受贿的官员被撤销了职务。

The official who is guilty of corruption and taking bribes has been dismissed from his post.

(2)取消中国的最惠国待遇，最大的受害者将是美国。

The U•S. will suffer most if it discontinues China's most-favored-nation status.

(3)政府授权工商部门严厉取缔投机倒把活动。

Departments in charge of industry and commerce are authorized by the government t 0 ban speculation and profiteering.

(4)他因违章开车被永远吊销了驾驶执照。

His driving license has been revoked once and for all because of his violation of traffic regulations.

(四)区分文体意义。同义词的差别还表现在应用场合上，即其语体色彩的不同。比如，有的为口语，有的为书面语；有的随便，有的正式；有的粗俗，有的高雅，等等。例如：询问、审问前者为日常用语，后者为法律用语。

(1)昨天我打热线询问了一些关于如何购买、安装使用数字传呼机的问题。

Yesterday I asked some questions through the hot line about buying, installing and using a digital B. P.

(2)连长正在审问战俘。

The company commander was interrogating a prisoner of war.
