collect,gather,assemble
是词义很近的同义词，它们的一般含义是“收集”或“使…集中到一起”。
collect 通常表示有目的或有挑选的收集，而gather 一般表示由少积多的收集。

海盗常把金子埋藏在山洞里，而后来又没能取走。
此外，gather的用法较广泛，能组成不少的习语。如：be gathered to one's fathers(死亡)，gather the brows (眉)，gather oneself together(振奋精神)。collect 和gather 有时虽然可以换用(如：He collected his belongings and went away. 此句中的 collected 便可换以gathered, 句子的意思并不改变。)但是collect one's thoughts 与gather one's thoughts 之间便有明显的含义差别，前者的意思是把自己的思想有条理地组织起来，后者的意思是把分散了的思想集中起来。collect money 表示为某目的而收款或募款，而gather money 则表示积钱。
