william telln. 威廉泰尔(罗西尼所作歌剧,等于Tell William)
speak着重开口发声,不着重所说的内容,一般作不及物动词,用作及物动词,宾语只能是某种语言等少数几个名词,不能接that从句。
say着重所说的话,可用作及物动词,带宾语从句。
tell表示告诉,有时兼含“嘱咐”,“命令”等。Tell the truth说真话,tell a lie说谎,tell a story讲故事等为固定搭配。Tell是及物动词,但其后不跟that从句。
talk表示通过谈话方式交换意见、思想、消息等,一般只作不及物动词。

这组词都有“说、讲”的意思,其区别是:
state较正式用词,通常指用明确的语言或文字着重地叙述事实,既强调内容又注重语气。
speak侧重于说话动作的本身,着重说话的能力而不在内容,可以是长篇大论的演讲,也可以是三言两语的交谈,甚至指简单的开口发声说话。
say最普通常用词,指用语言表达思想,着重所说的内容。
tell普通用词,指把某事告诉或讲述给某人听,口语或书面语均可用。
utter着重说话的行为,常指声音的使用,突出用噪子发声。
talk普通用词,侧重指与人交谈时的连续说话,可指单方面较长谈话,和speak一样,着重说活动作而不侧重内容。

古英语 tellan “计算,数数,思考,尊重,考虑”(过去式 tealde,过去分词 teald),源自原始日耳曼语 *taljan “按顺序提到”(源头还包括古撒克逊语 tellian “讲述”,古诺尔斯语 telja “计数,编号; 讲述,说”,古弗里斯兰语 tella “计数; 讲述”,中古荷兰语和荷兰语 tellen,古撒克逊语 talon “计数,估算”,丹麦语 tale “说话”,古高地德语 zalon,德语 zählen “计数,估算”),源自 PIE 词根 *del-(2)“计数,估算”(参见 tale)。
英语中“叙述,宣布,叙述”的意思始于公元1000年左右; “通过口头或书面方式宣布”这一意思始于12世纪初。意思是“揭示或披露”始于公元1400年左右; “充当告密者,告密”这一意思记录于1901年。“命令(某人做某事)”的意思始于1590年代。至于 tell (someone) off “训斥”这一说法,则始于1919年。
teller 和 tell time 的原始意义。关于意义的演变,可以参考法语 conter “计数”, raconter “叙述”; 意大利语 contare,西班牙语 contar “计数,叙述,讲述”; 德语 zählen “计数”, erzählen “叙述,讲述”。Klein 还将希伯来语 saphar “他数了数”, sipper “他讲述了”与此相比较。
