erase搭配

字迹/污渍：ERASE可用于能用橡皮或黑板擦之类干的东西擦拭掉的动作，如黑板或纸张上。譬如: erase the writings on the board erase the wrong answers on the sheet. 单词WIPE可以用于黑板，也用于用湿布等清洁一个东西的动作，如墙，车，或黑板上。譬如：Can you wipe the dirt off the car? Could you please wipe the writings off the board? (注意：wipe off为固定搭配）

记忆：两个词都可以用来形容洗脑样的动作。譬如：John's memory was completely wiped out. Linda was completely erased from John's mind.
