摘　　要：近义词辨析一直是中国学生英语学习中的难点,因此如何帮助学生准确辨析近义词,正确理解并恰当使用近义词就成为摆在广大英语教师面前的一大挑战。随着计算机的应用和语料库的出现,基于语料库的研究作为一种新的语言研究方法得到广泛的运用。本文借助英语国家语料库(BNC)从词频分布、搭配和语义韵三个方面对event和affair的用法进行比较,旨在用真实的语料帮助英语学习者区分这两个词的含义及用法,也希望能够对英语教学提供有益的借鉴。Chinese students often find it is hard to differentiate English synonyms and teachers also find it is a challenge to help students accurately grasp the subtle difference of synonyms and correcdy understand and properly use them. Since the application of computers and the emergence of corpus, the corpus-based study as a new research approach is being widely employed. Based on BNC, this paper makes a comparative study on ＂event＂ and ＂affair＂ from word frequency distribution, collocation and semantic prosody, hoping to distinguish the usage and implication by using corpus-based approach and provide references for English teaching.
