decide sth 意为“决定”“解决”,表示解决某个悬而未决的问题,使用范围较窄,一般接question, case, argument, dispute, outcome, match, fate等; 而decide on sb/sth 意思是“选定”“决定”,表示从几个事物或人中选定一个,使用范围较广。
这两个短语都有“决定”的意思。它们的区别在于:
1.必须作出决定而涉及的一般事物用 about ,已决定的事情用on。例如:
We still have to decide about a date for the meeting.我们还得决定一个开会的日期。
What date have you decided on?你已决定什么日期?
2.decide跟on连用时表示“就重大事情作出决定”或在多种情况〔事物〕中“作出选择”; 与about连用时表示“就一般事情作出决定”。例如:

这组词(组)都有“决定”的意思。它们的区别在于:
1.decide是普通用词,指经过讨论、思考消除分歧而对是非、优劣、取舍等问题“作出决定”; resolve强调信念的目的性; 而settle则强调最后的“决定”。例如:

He resolved that nothing should hold back.他决心不为任何阻碍所挫。
The heavy rain might settle the changeable weather.这场大雨也许能使变幻不定的天气稳定下来。

4.make up one's mind指下决心做某事,不再改变。例如:
