arrive

Compared meaning: come to a place, arrive (verb).

比较义项：来到，到达某地（动词）。

• come

  Come highlights movement toward the speaker's or listener's location; it is casual and everyday, often used without naming an exact time, and can stand alone before a purpose clause like 'to visit'.

  come强调朝说话人或听话人所在的方向移动，语气随意、日常，常不点明具体时间，还可以直接后接“to visit”这样的目的从句。

  My parents will come to visit us next weekend.

  我父母下周末会来看望我们。

• arrive 本词

  Arrive focuses on the precise moment of reaching a destination, typically paired with a specific place or scheduled time (arrive at/in), and carries a more formal, timetable-like tone with no sense of direction toward the speaker.

  arrive强调到达目的地的确切时刻，通常与具体地点或预定时间搭配（arrive at/in），语气更正式，像时刻表用语，也不带有朝说话人方向移动的含义。

  The train should arrive at the station by six o'clock.

  火车应该在六点前到达车站。

Come and arrive both mean reaching a place. Come stresses movement toward the speaker or listener and sounds casual, without stressing the exact time. Arrive stresses the exact moment of arrival, often with a place or time, and sounds formal, with no sense of direction.

这两个词在“到达某地”这一意义上很接近，容易混淆：come强调朝说话人或听话人所在方向移动，语气随意，常不特别强调到达的具体时刻；arrive强调到达目的地的那一时刻，常与具体地点、时间搭配，语气更正式，也不强调方向性。
