embody, assimilate, identify, incorporate

这组词都可表示“结合”。它们之间的区别是:identify指把事实上相同或认为是相同的事物等同起来; incorporate指把相同或不相同的事物结合或融合成一个均匀一致的整体; embody指把各部分依次归并成一个有组织、有系统的结构; assimilate指使两件或两件以上的相似物融合成整体,或使一件事物同化另一件事物。

embody, materialize, realize

这组词的共同意思是“实现”。其区别是：

realize指把希望、理想、计划等变成现实; embody指使抽象的原理、观念、特点、性质等具体化; materialize强调赋予原先模糊、朦胧、不可捉摸的东西以形体,使其看得见、摸得着。例如:

The country's constitution embodies the ideals of freedom and equality.这个国家的体现了自由和平等的理想。

The magician appeared to materialize the rabbit from thin air.魔术师看来似乎是凭空气变出那兔子的。
