相信各位小伙伴们都发现了，在sat考试中，常会涉及一些容易混淆的词，有时候一两个字母的差异也会使意思大相径庭。下面小编为大家汇总整理了sat词汇辨析词合集，供大家参考!
1. antipathy vs. apathy antipathy: strong or deep dislike 反感;厌恶;憎恶 e.g. he showed a marked antipathy to foreigners. apathy: lack of interest; indifference 缺乏兴趣;漠不关心 e.g. my parents do not feel apathy about the election. 这一组词大家可以用词根词缀发来区别，path-作为词根是“情感”的意思，anti-作为前缀是“相反，对抗”，而a-是“不、无、非”的意思，相关单词有sympathy, empathy等。
2. derive—derivative vs.deride—derisive derive: originate from sth; get sth from sth 源自，源于;得到获取 e.g. thousands of english words derive from latin. deride: mock sb/sth 嘲笑，嘲弄 e.g. they derided his effort as childish. derisive这个单词出现在阅读中经常被当做是derive的形容词性理解，其实是deride的形容词，意思为“嘲笑的，嘲弄的”，例如derisive laughter。
3.exhausted vs. exhaustive exhausted: very tired 精疲力尽的 e.g. after a ten-mile hike, everybody is exhausted. exhaustive: very thorough; complete 详尽的;彻底的 e.g. police make an exhaustive research.
4. imprudent vs. impudent imprudent: not wise or discreet不智的;不谨慎的;轻率的 e.g. it would be imprudent (of you) to resign from your present jobbefore you are offered another. impudent: very rude and disrespectful 粗鲁的;放肆的;无礼的;不尊重的 e.g. tom is an impudent child who never listens to his parents. 在记这组词之前，最好先记住prudent这个单词，它本身就是“谨慎的，审慎的”意思，在其加上im-这个表否定含义的前缀，意思就很容易得出了。
5. intelligent vs. intelligible intelligent: smart, educated 聪明的，智能的，智力的 intelligible: that can be (easily) understood 可(易)理解的 e.g. that’s totally a muddled explanation which was scarcely intelligible.
