read和say用法辨析

read: 牛津词典释义 [ V speech ] to have sth written on it; to be written in a particular way 写着;写成

The sign read ‘No admittance’. 告示牌上写着禁止入内

I've changed the last paragraph. It now reads as follows... 我已经修改了最后一段。现在是这样写的

 

say: 牛津词典释义[ no passive ] ( of sth that is written or can be seen 书面材料或可见的东西 ) to give particular information or instructions 提供信息;指示

The notice said ‘Keep Out’. 告示上写着禁止入内

The book doesn't say where he was born. 书上没说他是在哪儿出生的。

The guidebook says to turn left. 旅游指南上说应向左拐。

 

请教专家:以上readsay这种用法是否相同?

例如,我想表达:这封信上写着这个学校很美。

The letter says this school is very beautiful.

也可以用reads,即The letter reads this school is very beautiful 吗?

如果可以,但为什么考试,学校试卷答案只能是says, 不能reads

 (考试是选择题:The letter (  ) this school is very beautiful.  A. says, B. reads C. looks, D.writes. 答案是A.says)

 

又如:一张纸上写着2句话。

A piece of paper says two sentences, 还是 reads呢?还是二者都可以呢?

你如果用reads作谓语动词,你的宾语就必须是信的全部原文。says则无需是原文,可以是概述,或部分内容。一张纸上写着二句话,saysreads都是错误,Two sentences were written on a piece of paper. There are two sentences on the paper. 等等。
