词源与构词

记忆钩子 ring 作“铃响；打电话”时变化为 ring—rang—rung；英式口语中 ring you 就是 call you，“回电话”是 ring back。

词族与关联词

易混词（形近或义近，注意区别）
  • call 打电话；呼叫；称呼
    在英式口语中，ring sb 与 call sb 都可表示“给某人打电话”；但 ring 还可表示按铃或钟铃鸣响，call 没有这一用法。ring 作动词表示“铃响”或“打电话”时，过去式和过去分词分别是 rang、rung，而 call 是规则变化。
    Could you call the restaurant and ask whether it is still open? 你能给餐馆打个电话，问问是否还营业吗？
