Talk 不及speak莊重,而且多用於說話,少用於書寫。 Talk表示兩個或更多的人在對話。

當賓語是一種語言時,要用 speak 不用 talk 或 say:

在書面英語, talk 極少用作及物動詞,除非在 talk 後接用以下的賓語: - R1 c" I6 v) L, d$ U
7 p% |) t9 _8 U7 c; I Stop talking nonsense.

Say 通常跟講者所說的話一起使用,不論是直述句或陳述句:
; A" T% P8 m" y! ]. _9 D 5 y0 ~0 C* D' ]; F6 }" O; s. h
Please say hello / thank you to your mum.

He said that he could not believe it.
- C/ A! Z+ O0 y . a, {' z$ i5 }6 {/ @5 W; ]4 X. n
可是,say 有時也可用於一些非直述句或陳述句中。

- A! E# n3 T( j I want you to say something about how we met at our wedding party.
: J8 o) h! ` c0 ]7 e4 n + \" ~- t; {! S1 u/ z
注意 something about how we met並不是用於引述別人所說的真實語句。

Tell 並不是用於引述別人所說的話語,而是表達別人的說話中所述的事實或資料:
