    词义辨析
    occupy,have,have got,hold,own这组词(组)的共同意思是“有”“拥有”“具有”。其区别是:
    1.have既可指有生命物及无生命物之间的所属关系,也可指部分与整体的关系,或指精神上、身体上的特点;have got与have意义相同,但在口语中比have用得广泛;own则指具有在法律上的所有权,即使不在身边的东西,只要拥有法律上的所有权,就应用own;hold语气较强,有占据、控制、抓住(保持〕住某物的意思;而occupy则指占有空间、时间或占领、占据某地,或拥有某种职务或地位等。
    例如I didn';t have the books that she asked for.我没有她所要的书。
    Your books have got all over the place.你的书到处都是。
    They don';t hold the power to hire or fire at will.他们没有雇用或随意解雇的权力。
    Enemy troops occupied the country.敌军占领了这个国家。
    2.have是普通用语,在这几个词中概念最广,运用最广泛。own的主语只能是人。
    例如These enterprises are owned by him.这些企业是属于他的。
