出自：P. Rothcompose的详细讲解：词语用法v.(动词)compose的基本意思有二,一是“组成”“构成”,引申可表示“作曲”; 二是“使安定,使镇静”。compose作“组成”解时,是及物动词。主语是组成前的各个部分,宾语是组成后的一个整体,不用于被动结构。compose作“作曲”解时,可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词。compose作“使镇静”解时,强调有意识的努力、决心和坚毅,是及物动词。表示“自我镇定”时,须接反身代词作宾语，不用于被动结构。compose作及物动词时，表示“构成”，用于主动语态。Many components compose an electronic computer.
许多个零件构成了一个电子计算机。
be composed of表示“由……组成”，没有be comprised up of的表达方式。词义辨析v.(动词)compose, calm这组词的共同意思是“平静”。其区别是：compose着重指“动作”,即控制自己的思想情绪或感情,使其“平静”; 而calm着重指“状态”,即镇定而显不出迷惑或兴奋。compose, comprise, consist of, constitute这组词都是“包括”的意思。其区别是：1.compose多用于被动结构,其主语多为物质名词或集合名词; comprise和constitute既可用于主动结构,也可用于被动结构; consist of则不能用于被动结构,意思与被动结构的compose完全相同。2.compose偶尔也用于主动结构,其主语通常为复数名词或集合名词。compose，comprise，consist，constitute这些动词均含“组成，构成”之意。compose正式用词，多用被动态。指将两个或两个以上的人或物放到一起形成一个整体。comprise正式用词，指整体是由几个独立的部分所组成。consist与of连用，指一个整体由几个部分组成，或由某些材料构成。constitute正式用词，指由某些部分组成一个整体或构成某物的基舌战群儒的主人公是谁？舌战群儒的主人公是诸葛亮。舌战群儒典故的意思：舌战、激烈争辩；儒：指读书人。指同很多人辩论，并驳倒对方。本成分。在句中，主语表事物的组成部分，宾语表示事物的整体。create，compose，design，invent，make，produce这些动词均有“创造”，“制作”之意。create侧重创造出来的东西以前并不存在，或者指独具特色的创作。compose多指音乐或诗歌、画的创作。design主要指在艺术或技术领域的创作设计，强调构思多于实际制造。invent主要用于科技领域，指通过思考、研究或实验制造出新的前所未有、极为有用的东西。make最普通用词，指任何东西的创作或制造。produce指产品的生产，或作品创作的完成。compose的相关资料：近反义词【近义词】create创造make做constitute构成make up弥补put together合在一起soothe缓和calm平静的devise设计quiet安静的construct建造build建造pacify使 ... 平静comprise构成write写compile编译invent发明combine联合unite联合arrange整理order顺序set out规划organize组织dispose清除indite著作、撰写（诗、文等）...silence沉默soften(使)变柔和place地方up向上form形式prepare预备inhere固有harmonize协调manufacture（手工）制造...put放together共同mint薄荷produce生产draw up拟定frame骨架consist由 ... 组成design设计pen钢笔【反义词】discompose使不安临近单词composedcomportcompose windcompose poemcompose notecompose musiccompose songscompose a tunecompose an odecompose a songcompose buffercompose a note
