英语：英语中各种“穿”的表达方法-Wear, put on, dress,in的区别

英语中有些单词翻译后都可以用一个汉语意思来表达，给我们的英语学习造成了不少麻烦。其中Wear, put on, dress, in这几个英语单词都能表示“穿”的意思，它们的区别如下：
1, Wear
Wear意为“穿着；戴着”，表示状态。当我们wear衣服、鞋子、珠宝时，表明这些东西在我们身体上。

2, Put on
短语Put on表示“穿上、戴上”，强调“穿”“戴”的动作。当然们说put on衣服时，表明我们的目的是wear这件衣服。当我们不想wear时，就要把它们take off. 另外的用法还有“put on weight(增肥)”，其反义词是“lose weight”。
