　　win You are sure to win.此句中win是不及物动词，意为“赢，胜，获胜”，是其常用法之一。win 除了此用法外，还有其它用法。如：

　　① She‘s had two wins in four races.（win用作名词，意为“胜利，赢”。）

　　② Win or lose， it should be a very good match. （win or lose意为“无论胜负，不管输赢，无论成败”。）

　　③ We are facing with a lot of problems but we‘ll win through in the end. （win through意为“摆脱困境，终获成功”。）

　　join v.& n.

　　What club do you want to join?

　　此句中的join是及物动词,意为“加入,参加”,这是其最常见的用法。另外它还有其它用法,如:

　　①The two rivers join at the bridge.(此句中的join是不及物动词,意为“会合,联合,相遇”。)

　　②The two pieces were stuck together so well that we could hardly see the join.(此句中的join是名词,意为“连接处,接缝”。)

　　interest

　　The money I borrowed from him was repaid with interest.

　　What he did was just to protect his own interests.

　　interest在教材中的意思为“兴趣”和“使感兴趣”,分别作名词和动词用。

　　上面句子中的两个interest都作名词用。作“利息”讲时,为不可数名词;作“利益,好处”讲时,多用复数形式。
