答
consist和of搭配,表示一个事物由几个部分组成,它的主语应该是事物的整体,宾语为部分,它只能用主动语态.例如;The team consists of four Europeans and two Americans.compose是“组成”的意思,相当于"make up',它的主浯为部分,宾语为整体.但它常用过去分词作表语,跟of引起的短语.例如:Men and women evenly composed the committee.也可以说:The committee was evenly composed of men and women.consist of常用整体作主语,表示“整体由部分组成”,引申为“包含有”,不能用于被动语态.make up用部分作主语,表示“部分构成整体”,用于主动语态;如果用整体作主语,必须用被动结构be made up of,这时可以和consist of互换.另外,make up还可以表示“化装;编造”.
