spare
1.下面每组里的两句意思相同，但第二句不及第一句普通：
- Could you spare me a few yuan?
Could you spare a few yuan to me? - He said he could spare me only ten minutes.
He said he could spare only ten minutes to me.
He said he could spare me only ten minutes可能有两个意思：“他说他只能够拨出十分钟给我。”或“他说他只能放我自由（不需我侍候）十分钟。”在only前面加上了for全句只可能有第二个意思。
2.下面每组里的两句意思相同，但第二句不及第一句普通。
- I wish I could spare you all the suffering.
I wish I could spare you from all the suffering. - That will spare him the trouble of calling again.
That will spare him from the trouble of calling again.
但假使from后面接动名词，那from不可省去，如That will spare him from calling again里的from不可省去。
3.to spare作“余下的”解。例如：There is one yuan to spare. and to spare或enough and to spare作“很多的”解。例如：There is money (enough) and to spare in his pocket.
