join&join in &take part in& attend
(一)join则比较严肃,多指参加某组织,社会团体,参军成为其中的一个成员。
join有两个用法:
(1)指加入某个党派,团体组织等,成为其成员之一,意为:“参军、入团、入党”等。如:
①When did your brother join the army? 你哥哥什么时候参军的?
②She joined the Young Pioneers. 她加入了少先队。
I will never forget the day when I joined the Party.我永远也忘不了入党的那一天。
(2)或是你正在做什么,邀请别人一起加入其结构为:join sb. in (doing) sth.,根据上下文,in (doing) sth. 也可以省去。如:
①Will you join us in the discussion? 你参加我们的讨论吗?
②He'll join us in singing the song. 他将和我们一道唱歌。
③We're going to the East Lake Park on Sunday. Will you join us?
我们打算星期天去东湖公园。你跟我们一道去好吗?
Will you join us for dinner?请你和我们一起吃饭好吗?
would you like to join us? 你想加入我们吗
(二)、take part in一般是参加什么活动,也可以是会议之类的
take part in指参加众性活动、会议、劳动、游行等,往往指参加者持有积极的态度,起一份作用,有时与join in可互换。例句:
①Will you take part in the English evening?同我们一起参加英语晚会好吗?
②All the students took an active part in the thorough cleaning.所有的学生都积极参加了大扫除。
③We should take an active part in school activities.我们应该积极参加学校的活动。
take part in 指参加会议或众性活动等,着重说明句子主语参加该项活动并在活动中发挥作用。如:
We'll take part in social practice during the summer vacation. 暑假期间我们将参加社会实践。
We often take part in physical labour. 我们经常参加体力劳动。
【注意】take part in是惯用词组,part前一般不用冠词,但part前有形容词修饰时,要用不定冠词。如:
①Lincoln took an active part in polities and was strongly against slavery. 林肯积极参加政治活动,强烈反对奴隶制
、join in sth. / doing sth.意为“参加”,后面接的宾语一般是表示竞赛、娱乐、游戏等活动的名词或V-ing。 join in多指参加小规模的活动如“球赛、游戏”等,常用于日常口语。如:
  ①Can I join in the game? 我可以参加这个游戏吗?
  ②They all join in singing the song. 他们一起唱这首歌。
  Come along, and join in the ball game. 快,来参加球赛。
  ④Why didn't you join in the talk last night? 昨晚你为什么没参加座谈?
attend是正式用语,及物动词,指参加会议,婚礼,葬礼,典礼;去上课,上学,听报告等。句子的主语只是去听,去看,自己不一定起积极作用。如:
  He'll attend an important meeting tomorrow. 他明天要参加一个重要的会议。
  I attended his lecture. 我听了他的讲课。
(五)participate in,侧重积极性,参加
  ①How many people participated in the opening ceremony? 多少人参加了开业典礼?
总结:
  attend侧重参加或出席会议或学术活动等
  join普通用词,指加入党派、团体或游戏活动等。
  participate正式用词,特指参加团体活动,暗示以一个积极的角参加。
  take part in侧重参加某项众性、集体性的事业、工作或活动,突出参加者在其中发挥一定的作用。
