辨析英语近似词汇：fifty dollars in notes
fifty dollars in notes，a fifty-dollar noteFifty dollars in notes的意思是“钞票数张，共计五十元”。dollars是可数名词，故在词尾加-s.a fifty-dollar
note 是“一张五十元的钞票”，这里的dollar作定语用，故其后不加-s.
通过下列句子的比较，可以进一步看出它们的差别：
I gave him a twenty-dollar note.
我给他一张二十元的钞票。
I gave him twenty dollars in notes.
我给他钞票若干张，共计二十元。
There are ten fifty-dollar notes on the desk.
桌上有十张五十元的钞票。
There are five hundred dollars in notes on the desk.
桌上有共值五百元的钞票若干张。
请注意，“He has changed his note.”的意思是“他已改变语调”，不是“他已换了钞票”，如要表达此意，应该说：
He has changed the banknotes.
在“change one's note”中，note作“态度”或“口气”解;在“change one's
banknotes”中，note作“钞票”解。在下面一语中，我们也要注意note的涵义：to compare
notes是“交换意见”，不是“对比钞票”或“核对笔记”。
