这两个短语的共同意思是“准备”。其区别是：前者着重表示“准备好了”这一状态；后者着重表示“做准备”这一动作。从下面两个句子体会：
They are ready for the competition.
We must get ready for it.
Be ready和be prepared的区别：
这两个短语都可以表示已经完成采取某种行动之前所必要的准备或具备进行某项活动的条件。其区别在于：be ready表示具备做某事的条件、处于可以做某事的状态，或有思想准备，乐于做某事。例如：
We are ready to start.
He was always ready to help his friends.
而be prepared 除强调为做某事而进行了积极的努力外，还常常用来强调精神上有应付意想不到的事件的能力。例如：

辨析：reach , arrive, get to 的区别
三者均可表示“到达”
Arrive和get 都是不及物动词，前者较正式，后者则较口语化。两者之后均不可接宾语，但可接here, there, home之类的表示地点的副词作状语。例如：
What time does the train arrive?
We got (arrived)here last night.
要表示“到达某地”，需借助适当介词。Arrive之后通常接介词at 或in ，例如：We arrived at the station five minutes late.
They will arrive in Paris next Monday.
Get之后通常接介词to ，例如：
When we got to the park, it began to rain.
The bus gets in at five thirty.
Reach通常是及物动词（较get更正式），其后可直接跟地点名词作宾语（不能用介词）例如：
He reached Beijing yesterday.
主语：reach之后也可接here, there, home等词。例如：
When did he reach home yesterday?
拓展：reach除可表示到达某地外，还用于其它意义的到达。
Your letter reached me last week.
He has reached school age.

11.No more不再
辨析：
No longer, no more的区别：
No longer = not any longer; no more = not any more
No more和not any more 可以作宾语，no longer不可以。No longer意思是“不再”，其确切含义为某状态在某个时刻之后不再继续下去了。
所以，当你熊学校毕业了，就可以说：I’m no longer a student.
有两个短语和no longer同义，即not...any longer和not ...any more,但其侧重的方面不同。前者侧重时间，例如：
He no longer lives here.= He doesn’t live here any longer.
后者侧重程度和数量,例如：
You can drink no more. = You can’t drink any more.
注意：由于no longer本身就带有否定的含义，即表示“再也不”，所以不能在同
一个句子中加入否定词。
I’ll come here no longer.
