請賜教?be composed of與consist of與be made up of各自區別是什麼?
be composed of與consist of與be made up of三個詞組都有由什麼組成的意思,具體區別,用法是什麼呢?

解答：

consist和of搭配,表示一個事物由幾個部分組成,它的主語應該是事物的整體,賓語爲部分,它只能用主動語態.例如；The team consists of four Europeans and two Americans．compose是「組成」的意思,相當於"make up',它的主浯爲部分,賓語爲整體.但它常用過去分詞作表語,跟of引起的短語.例如：Men and women evenly composed the committee．也可以說：The committee was evenly composed of men and women．consist of常用整體作主語,表示「整體由部分組成」,引申爲「包含有」,不能用於被動語態.make up用部分作主語,表示「部分構成整體」,用於主動語態；如果用整體作主語,必須用被動結構be made up of,這時可以和consist of互換.另外,make up還可以表示「化裝；編造」.
