appearance[E5pIErEns] n.1.[C,U] 出现;露面：The author made a rare personal appearance. 这位作者做了一次少有的个人公开露面。 2.[C,U] 外貌;外观：Don’t judge a man by his appearances. 不要以貌取人。

arrange[E5reIndV] v. 1. 排列;整理：I arranged books on the shelves. 我把书架上的书整理好。 2. 安排;准备：The meeting has been arranged for Tuesday evening. 会议安排在星期二晚上举行。
【用法】1.用作及物动词表示“安排”“准备”时，其后通常接事情，而不接具体的人或东西;若接具体的人或东西则需后接介词for，如以下两例中的for不宜省去：We’ll arrange for an experienced teacher. 我们将安排一位有经验的教师。/ I’ve arranged for a taxi. 我已安排好了一辆计程车。2.后接事情作宾语时，其后接不接介词for均可(在现代英语中以不接为多见)：Would you like to arrange (for) a personal interview? 你希望安排一次个别接见吗? 3.正因为表示“安排”时不能直接跟某人作宾语，所以要表示“安排某人做某事”，英语不能说arrange sb to do sth，而说arrange for sb to do sth：I’ve arranged for Mary to meet you at the airport. 我已经安排玛丽去机场接你。类似地，英语习惯上不说hope sb to do sth，而说hope for sb to do sth，不说wait sb to do sth，而说wait for sb to do sth，不说long sb to do sth，而说long for sb to do sth等。另外还有，英语习惯上不说demand sb to do sth，而说demand of sb to do sth。4.其后可接that引导的宾语从句，从句谓语通常用虚拟语气，但有时也可用将来时态：They arranged that the meeting (should) be put off to Saturday. 他们安排把会议推迟到星期六。/ I’ve arranged that one of our representiatives will meet you at the airmport. 我已安排好派一个代表到机场接你。比较同义句：I’ve arranged for him to attend the meeting.=I’ve arranged that he (should) attend the meeting. 我已安排他去参加会议。5.其后习惯上不接双宾语，如“请给我们安排一次与工人的会见”不能译为：Please arrange us an interview with the workers. 可改为：Please arrange an interview with the workers for us.

【用法】“A has [holds] attraction for B”这一结构的意思是“对B来说，A具有吸引力”，也就是说“A对B有吸引力或诱惑力”，即B喜欢A，而不是其相反，如要表示汉语的“他不为金钱和美女所动”，可以说成：Money and women had no attraction for him. 但不能说成：He had no attraction for money and women. 但是，“A feel an attraction for [to] B”的意思是“A喜欢B”：She felt an immediate attraction to [for] him. 她对他一见钟情。
