［辨析］pull, drag和draw都有“拖”，“拉”的意思。pull是普通用语，应用范围广，指用力拉，与push相对，如：He pulled the door open and rushed out.他拉开门，冲了出去。drag指比较缓慢艰难的动作，拖的东西一般是笨重的，还意味着阻力很大。如：He dragged a heavy box out of the room. 他把一只很重的箱子从屋里拖了出来。He dragged his tired feet slowly along. 他拖着疲乏的步子慢慢地走着。 draw 不像 pull 那样急促有力，通常指比较平稳地、比较从容地去拉。如：After some time, he began to draw the net in. 过了一些时候，他开始收网。Draw your chair up to the table. 把你的椅子拉到桌子旁边来。
