constitute, compose, comprise, consist of

这组词都是“包括”的意思。其区别是：

1.compose多用于被动结构,其主语多为物质名词或集合名词; comprise和constitute既可用于主动结构,也可用于被动结构; consist of则不能用于被动结构,意思与被动结构的compose完全相同。

2.compose偶尔也用于主动结构,其主语通常为复数名词或集合名词。

compose，comprise，consist，constitute

这些动词均含“组成，构成”之意。

compose正式用词，多用被动态。指将两个或两个以上的人或物放到一起形成一个整体。

comprise正式用词，指整体是由几个的部分所组成。

consist与of连用，指一个整体由几个部分组成，或由某些材料构成。

constitute正式用词，指由某些部分组成一个整体或构成某物的基本成分。在句中，主语表事物的组成部分，宾语表示事物的整体。
