- come 本词
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
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。
