fill

1.fill通常用作“把东西放满在…里”解，如fill the cup with wine和fill the box with books，注意用with。用作“把…放满在器皿里”解现在很不普通，该避免，如fill wine into the cup和fill books into the box都不该说。

2.fill不可用作“把东西放满在…上”解，如不可说fill the table with books，该改作put the books on the table。同样地，可以说His head is filled with strange ideas，但不可说His head is filled with black hair。因为ideas在头的里面，但hair在头的外面。The page is filled with printed matter是可以说的，因为page被看作一个可以“容”得下文字的东西。

3.fill用作fulfil解在英国从前也有，现在不流行，但在美国仍流行。例如：This fills a long-felt want. This fills every requirement. 和He filled five engagements that day.

4.fill用作“配（药方）”解是美国英语，在英国用make up或dispense。例如：I have had the prescription filled at the dispensary.

5.fill有时有双宾语。例如：He filled me a glass of beer.

6.说“填写（表格等）”用fill in, fill up和fill out都可以。例如：I have filled in（或up，或out）the document. fill out是美国英语。说“填写在（空白处）”用fill, fill in, fill up和fill out都可以，如Please fill these blanks和Please fill in（或up，或out）these blanks。说“把…填写”只可以用fill in。例如：Please fill in your name and address.
