the world ♦︎ earth ♦︎ the globe ♦︎ the planetThese words all mean the planet that we live on. 这些词均表示地球。PATTERNS AND COLLOCATIONS 句型和搭配◆around / across / all over the world / earth / globe / planet◆on (the) earth / the globe / the planet◆to save / destroy the world / earth / planet◆the world / earth turns / revolves◆the face / surface of the earth / globe / planet◆the (four) corners of the world / earth / globe■ the world [singular] the planet that we live on; all the people or countries that exist 地球；世界◆He's always wanted to sail around the world.他一直想环球航行。◆Which is the largest city in the world?世界上最大的城市是哪个？◆French is spoken in many parts of the world.世界上许多地方说法语。◆He's the world's highest paid entertainer.他是世界上薪酬最高的艺人。◆She spent much of her life campaigning for world peace.她几乎把一生都投入到了世界和平运动之中。■ earth ( the earth, Earth, the Earth) [uncountable, singular] the planet that we live on 地球◆The fossil record shows the history of life on earth.化石记录着地球上的生命史。◆The earth revolves around the sun.地球绕着太阳转。◆In the story the aliens have a plan to destroy planet earth.故事中外星人计划摧毁地球。NOTE 辨析 The world or the earth?In some cases you can use either word. 在有些情况下这两个词可以通用◆I must be the happiest person in the world / on earth!我肯定是这世上最幸福的人了！However, there is usually a difference of emphasis: use the world when you are only concerned with things that exist in the world, and not with anything that exists outside it. Earth is more often used when our planet is being considered in relation to other planets, its place in space, or heaven. Compare world peace (= peace between all the countries in the world) and peace on earth (= peace as a gift to people on earth from God in heaven). 但是，两个词通常强调不同的内容。使用the world时表示仅与地球上的事物相关，与地球以外的事情没有关系。earth常指相对于其他行星或太空的地球，或相对于上天的大地。试比较world peace（世界和平）和peace on earth（上帝赐予大地的安宁）。 ■ the globe [singular] the world, especially when emphasizing how big it is 地球，世界（尤用以强调其大）◆The resort attracts tourists from every corner of the globe.这个胜地吸引了来自世界各地的游人。■ the planet [singular] the world, especially when talking about the environment 地球（尤用于谈论环境问题）◆South East Asia has emerged as a key arena in the battle to save the planet.东南亚已经成为保护地球环境的主战场。
