relating to vs related to

參:http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/67703/relating-to-or-related-to

answer:

relating to直接有關

related to間接有關

---------------------------------------

These two words are close, and in most cases, they are interchangeable.

However, I think there is a subtle difference between the two, one I can't readily support with a good source at the moment.

"Related to" only means that there is some kind of connection while "relating to" indicates something that is about the topic.

For instance, if I asked for websites relating to english.stackexchange.com, I might expect to get meta.english.stackexchange.com, maybe some news articles that cover the site, and a blog entry by a founder.

If I asked for websites related to english.stackexchange.com, I would expect to receive those same sites listed above, but I would also expect to see other SE network websites, other English-learner websites, and perhaps other Q&A type sites.

knock it off

Knock it off. I can't stand this anymore.

停止吧! 我再也不能忍受了.

「停止」這個動作在英文中有許多的表示方式, 例如最簡單的 stop 就是一例, 但是除了簡單的 stop 之外, 老美也喜歡說, "Knock it off." 或者是 "Cut it out." 例如看到兩個人在打架, 你可以趕快說, "Knock it off" 或者是 "Cut it out." 來勸他們快點住手.

Knock off 這個片語還有許多其它的用法, 像是颱風把高壓線給吹掉了, 在這裏你就可以說, "The typhoon knocked the power line off." 或是上數學課時老師說把 x 給消去, 這裏的消去也可以用 knock off 喔. 造個句子就是, "If you knock off x in this equation, you will end up with the final solution." (如果你把 x 從這個式子給消去的話, 你就會得到最後的答案.)

please advise (me) (of) the date.

問：Please advise(me) the date（日期請賜示）這樣的句子，十分常見，但查劍橋字典，沒有類似例句，正確說法是Please advise me on the date，對嗎？

答：我不知道讀者說的是那本劍橋字典，但「日期請賜示」不應作Please advise me on the date。To advise someone on something是「就某事給人意見」的意思，例如：He advised the president on military affairs（他在軍事上給總統意見）。
讀者那一句的advise，指「通知」或「告訴」，其後可用of帶出「通知」或「告訴」某人的事情，但那of也可略去，例如：（1）Can you advise me(of) the time, date, and location of the meeting?（會議之日期、時間、地點，可否賜告？）（2）Please advise us(of) what happened（發生了甚麼事，請告訴我們）。Advise之後，也可以直接帶出要通知或告訴別人的事，例如：Please advise the time required to complete the task（工作需時多久，請告知）。
