comment, remark or observe?用 comment、remark 还是 observe？
If you comment on sth you say sth about it; if you remark on sth or observe sth, you say sth about it that you have noticed: there is often not much difference between the three. However, while you can refuse to comment (without on), you cannot 'refuse to remark' or 'refuse to observe' (without on). * comment on 表示谈论某事，remark on 或 observe 表示谈论或评论注意到的事物。以上三词通常无大的区别，但拒绝评论可说 refuse to comment（不带 on），不能说 refuse to remark 或 refuse to observe（不带 on）：◆He refused to remark/observe until after the trial.
