[误区警示]

(1)means 表示“方法、方式、手段”，其单复数同形，常与主谓一致结合起来进行考查。当 means 作主语且有 every, each 等词修饰时，谓语动词用单数；有 some, several, many, few, all 等词修饰时，谓语动词用复数。

(2)by this means 强调的是“有条理的办事方法”；in this way 强调的是“用简便的方法”，in 有时候可以省略；with this method 强调的是“用已形成的系统的、理论的方法”。

(3)means的另一个考查点是它的习惯搭配。

(4)by no means放在句首时，句子用部分倒装。

[典型例句]

[思维拓展]

以上各句中的as均不能省略，也不能改为to be，或换成that从句。如：

(2) 表示“注视”“看待”，通常与介词 with 连用。如：

She was regarding me with smiling eyes.

她笑眯眯地看着我。

I have always regarded him with the greatest admiration. 我总是很敬佩他。

用作名词，注意以下用法：

He shows little regard for others.

他很少关心别人。

I have (a) great regard for him.

我很尊重他。
