meet

1.meet和meet with从前可以说完全相同，但在现代英语里下面几点该注意：

（1）说“遇到（迎面而来的人）”，“迎接（人）”，“跟（人）结识”，“跟（人）会谈”或“与（人）对抗”，用meet。例如：

• I often meet him in this street.
• I shall meet him at the station.
• I was fortunate enough to meet him at dinner.
• The owners were ready to meet the miners.
• John came out to meet Henry in the duel.

（2）说“偶然遇到（人）”用meet或meet with都可以，说“偶然遇到（物）”用meet with，说“（在阅读的时候）偶然遇到（词或语句）”用meet或meet with都可以。例如：

• I often meet (with) him in the library.
• I sometimes meet with such fish in the market.
• I seldom meet (with) this idiom in literary works.

（3）说“应付（困难等）”用meet。例如：

• I shall do my best to meet this difficulty.
• I shall do my best to meet this misfortune.
• I shall do my best to meet these objections.
• I shall do my best to meet these evils.

（4）说“遭遇（困难等）”用meet with。例如：

• I met with many difficulties on the way.
• I met with this misfortune on the way.
• I met with a small accident on the way.
• I met with strong opposition.
• I met with ill-treatment at his hands.
• I met with a strange adventure in the forest.

I met with many obstacles in carrying out my plan.

meet with an untimely end（不幸早死）里有the。但meet his（或her等）fate（死去）和meet his（或her等）end（死去）两种表达方式里没有with，meet (with) his（或her等）death（死去）里用with或不用with都可以。

（5）说“得到（赞成等）”通常用meet with，有时用meet。例如：

• My suggestions met with approval.
• My application met with favourable consideration.
• My book met (with) a warm reception.
• The play has met (with) a great deal of criticism.
• My performance met with much praise.
• Their efforts met with much success.
• The new pronunciation system has met with favour.

（6）说“满足（要求、希望等）”用meet。例如：

• This will meet the market's demands.
• This does not meet all her expectations.
• This will meet the people's wishes.
• This does not meet all her views.
• This does not meet the students' needs.
• This does not meet all her requirements.

（7）说“偿（债）”、“践（约）”等用meet。例如：

• Jack always meets his liabilities.
• Jack always meets his bills.
• Jack always meets his obligations.
• Jack always meets his engagements.

2.Meet Mr...，Meet Mrs...，Meet Miss...等是美国人的介绍语，如Smith在把Roberts介绍给Webb的时候，向Webb说Meet Mr Roberts。Pleased to meet you是被介绍的美国人的常用语，英国人通常不这么说，而说How do you do?

3.We are met here on an important occasion等句子里的met是不及物动词的过去分词，用作形容词。
