205　depend on/upon和rely on/upon

① 表示“信賴，依賴”時(shí)，depend on/upon和rely on/upon?？蓳Q用。結(jié)構(gòu)為：

depend on/rely on sb./sth.

depend on/rely on sb. to do sth.

② depend on還可以表示“以……而定，由……而定，取決于”，這時(shí)不可用rely on。

Good health depends on good food，exercise and getting enough sleep. 身體的健康要靠良好的食物、鍛煉和充足的睡眠。

③ depend用于It all depends或That depends結(jié)構(gòu)中，意為“很難說(shuō)，得看情況”，這時(shí)不可用rely。
