turn的详细讲解：
turn的基本意思是“旋转,转动”,指做圆周运动或弧形运动。引申可作“翻转”“开始涨或落”“瞄准,指向”“使…向某方向走”“达到,超过”“表演”“(使)变酸”“(使)不适,作呕,恶心”“翻译”“赶走”“考虑”“用车床加工,车削”等解。作“改变”解时,指彻底改变,以至面目全非,且常用于朝坏的方向改变。
turn可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时,可接名词或代词作宾语,也可接以形容词充当补足语的复合宾语。
turn还可用作系动词,意为“成为,变成”,后接名词或形容词作表语,用作表语的名词须用零冠词。
turn后接副词away表示“离开,走开,把…打发走”; 后接副词back表示“折回,返回”; 后接副词down表示“拒绝接受某人〔某事〕”; 后接副词in表示“睡觉,转身进入,拐入”“把某物上交,把某物交出”; 后接副词off表示“关(自来水、电源、煤气等)”; 后接副词over表示“翻身,将…翻身”; 后接副词out表示“结果是…,证明是…”“撵出”“生产”; 后接副词up表示“出现,出席,到达”“发现”。
turn a hand和turn a hair通常用于否定结构。例如:When we were all hurrying to get the house ready for foreign guests, only he sat reading and wouldn't turn a hand.正当我们都为外宾来访忙于布置屋子的时候,唯独他坐着看书,不来帮忙。We watched him closely throughout the interrogation, but he didn't turn a hair.在审讯中我们一直注视他,可他一点也不动声色。
turn用作名词的基本意思是“转动,旋转”,指使某人或某物转动的行为或某物自己旋转的动作,是可数名词。
turn也可表示“方向的改变,转折,转折点”“转弯处”,引申可作“时间上的转折点,交替时期”解,是可数名词。
turn也可作“轮到的机会,顺次”解,通常用于单数形式。
turn还可作“发展变化,新趋势”“散步”“短小节目”“风格,性格,性情,习性”等解,是可数名词,常与不定冠词a连用。
在口语里, turn可表示“惊吓,震惊”“不适,疾病的发作”,作“惊吓,震惊”解时,通常用作单数形式。
turn, alter, become, change, convert, modify, vary
这组词的共同意思是“改变”“变化”。change和alter有时可以互换。例如:
Whatever we do, we can't change〔alter〕 the facts.不管我们做什么,我们总不能改变事实。
He has changed〔altered〕 a lot since I last saw him.自从上次见面到现在,他变了很多。
The weather changes〔alters〕 almost daily.天气差不多天天在变。
其区别是：
1.change在这几个词中是最普遍、最不正式的一个,可用于任何变化的过程,而不论变化的性质和程度; alter指局部的、表面的、轻微的“改变”“改动”,修改后仍基本上保持原状; alter和convert都指形式和用途上的局部微小改变; turn指彻底改变,以至面目全非,且常用于朝坏的方向改变; modify指限定在一定范围内的修改或修饰,以使之更完美; vary则指事物或其一部分暂时地或反复地变化,从而使事物各部分呈现不同外貌和特点。例如:
When matter changes to a substance different from what it was, the change is a chemical change.当物质变成和原来不同的物质时,这种变化是化学变化。
The plan is O.K. at large, but I suggest it be altered.该计划总的来说是可以的,但我建议做进一步修改。
Pressure varies directly with temperature and inversely with volume.压力随温度成正比例变化,与容积成反比例变化。
All the bank bill was converted into cash.所有的银行票据都兑换成了现金。

The newspaper turned against the president.该报转而攻击总统。
After he left the university, he became a teacher, but he later turned to translation.他大学毕业后当了教师,但后来转向翻译工作。
2.convert可指改变信仰,尤其是宗教信仰; modify指态度变温和。例如:
He has converted from Buddhism to Catholicism.他已放弃佛教改信天主教了。
You'd better modify your tone.你最好缓和一下你的口气。
He will have to modify his views if he wants to be elected.他如果想当选,就得把观点变得明朗些。
turn, become, come, go, grow
这组词均可用作系动词,表示“变成”。其区别是：
<e多指向好的方向转变; go往往指向坏的方面转变; become指向好的(也可指向坏的)方面发展, turn是正式用语,指向好的,也指向坏的方面转变。试比较:
When did that style of dress come into fashion?
那种式样的衣服是什么时候时兴的?
When did that style of dress go out of fashion?
那种式样的衣服是什么时候不时兴的?
<e的主语往往是人; become的主语可以是人或物; 而go的主语多是物。
<e的表语通常是形容词; become的表语可以是形容词、代词或名词(须加不定冠词); go和grow的表语为形容词; turn的表语可以是形容词或名词(不加不定冠词)。
turn, depend, hang, hinge
这组词都可表示“依赖”“依…而定”。其区别是：
depend侧重思想上的悬念,无法进行预测,常指对某物的未来情景捉摸不定; hinge侧重思想上的悬念; hang不太侧重事件的捉摸不定或没把握的成功等; turn侧重旋转和对变化的、偶然的东西的依赖。例如:
Whether he goes back to jail depends on whether he violates parole.他是否重回监狱得看他假释期是否犯罪而定。
Everything hinges on where we go next.一切要看我们下一步去哪里而定。
The future of the company hangs on the outcome of his meeting.公司的前途取决于这次会议的结果。
The success of the negotiations turns on getting the agreement of the Italian delegation.谈判的成功依赖于取得意大利代表团的同意。
turn into, become
这两个词(组)的共同意思是“变成”。其区别是：
become着重目前状态; turn into着重改变用途。例如:
The storeroom has become a workshop.
库房成了车间了。
The storeroom has been turned into a workshop.
库房变成了车间。
turn out, bear, produce, yield
这四个词(组)的意思相近,都表示“生产出”。其区别是：
bear表示“产仔或结果实”,可引申指“再生产”; produce的用法更广,可指生产一切有形的或无形的东西; yield也表示生产,但强调结果与回报,而不是所做的努力; turn out强调结果,但同时还侧重先前付出的劳动与艰辛。例如:
The soil bears good cotton.
这种土壤出产优质棉花。
Gas can be produced from coal.
煤气可从煤中提制。
His business yields big profits.
他的生意带来巨大的利润。
This factory can turn out 100 cars a day.
这家工厂每天能生产一百辆汽车。
turn out, prove
这两者的共同意思是“证明”。其区别在于:prove的主语可以是人,也可以是事物; 而turn out的主语一般是物,有时含有“意外”的含义,常用于口语中。例如:
His first attempt proved successful.他的第一次尝试证明是成功的。
They proved that he was guilty.他们证明他有罪。
As it has turned out, there was no need to worry.结果证明当初不必担心。
下面两组中的两个句子意思相同:
They took turns at watching the baby.
They took turns watching the baby.
他们轮流看守婴儿。
We took turns with them standing guard.
We took turns with them at standing guard.
我们与他们轮流站岗。
这些动词均可表示“变成，成为”之意。
:become最普通用词，作为连系动词，指从一个状态向另一个状态的变化。
:get常指某人或某物有意无意地获得引起变化的因素，结果使变成另一状态。
:grow常指逐渐地变成新状态，强调渐变的过程。
:turn侧重指变得与原来截然不同，有时含贬义。
:go作为连系动词，通常与形容词连用，指进入某种状态，从而发生变化，多指不好的状态。
:come侧重变化的经过或过程，多用于不良情况。
这些动词均含有“变化，改变”之意。
:change指任何变化，完全改变，强调与原先的情况有明显的不同。
:alter常指轻微的改变，强调基本上保持原物、原状的情况下所进行的部分改变。
:vary暗示不规则或断断续续地变。
:convert指进行全部或局部改变以适应新的功能或用途。指信仰或态度时，强调较激烈、大的改变。
