You can get or receive a sudden feeling such as a shock or an impression; but feelings that you experience over a period of time such as enjoyment, pleasure and satisfaction you usually get, not receive. 这两个词的主要区别在于语体风格不同。receive相当正式，尤用于书面语；get更常用于口语。get和receive都可与shock或impression等表示突然的感觉的词搭配；但如果是enjoyment、pleasure和satisfaction等表示持续一段时间的感觉，则通常用get，不用receive。

NOTE 辨析 Get or fetch? Get has a wider range of meaning than fetch: you usually fetch people or things that are in a place and just need to be collected; you can get things that need to be prepared or obtained. * get的意思比fetch更广。fetch一般指只需去某处接人或取东西，get可指得到需要准备或设法弄到的东西

Fetch is not usually used in American English. * fetch通常不用于美式英语。

ⓘ When you are talking about people, collect is used in British English; in American English it is more usual to say pick sb up. When you are talking about rubbish/garbage collect is the usual word for the regular collection of waste from your house by dustmen/garbage men; pick up can also be used for this in American English, but to pick up rubbish/garbage more often means to bend down and pick up a piece of rubbish/garbage from the ground. 表示接人时，英式英语用collect，美式英语多用pick sb up。表示清洁工人定时上门收垃圾时，一般用collect。在美式英语中表达此义亦可用pick up，但是pick up rubbish/garbage更常指弯腰从地上捡起垃圾。

■ reach

NOTE 辨析 Get or reach?The main difference between these words is register. Reach is used especially in written English; get is the usual word in spoken English. Get takes no object, but always takes an adverb or adverbial phrase, often one that is not specific, when the listener is expected to understand the place that is meant by there, in or back. Reach always takes an object and is usually more specific about the place that is arrived at. 这两个词的主要区别在于语体风格不同。reach尤用于书面语，get常用于口语。get不带宾语，但总是带副词或副词短语，常不指明具体地点，而用there、in或back表明听者应知道所说的地方是哪里。reach总带宾语，一般较具体地指明到达何处。
