differentiate 表示“把某物与另一物区分开”时，固定搭配是 differentiate A from B 或 differentiate between A and B，不能用 and 直接把两个宾语并列。汉语说“区分真新闻和假新闻”，学习者容易照搬 and，英语中须用 from 引出被区分开的对象。

differentiate 是及物动词，意为“把……区分开”或“使……不同”，后面要接宾语；它不能像不及物动词那样单独作谓语表示“两者不同”。表示“两者在某方面有差异”应用不及物动词 differ，搭配 differ in sth。

distinguish 强调辨认出两者之间的差别，常用 distinguish between A and B 或 distinguish A from B；differentiate 更偏学术和技术语境，强调“使有差异、分化”，日常说“辨别”时两者常可换用，但“distinguish oneself（使自己出众）”不能用 differentiate。
discriminate 表示“辨别”时比 differentiate 正式，而且它更常见的义项是“歧视”，单独使用容易引起歧义；要中性表达“区分”，用 differentiate 更稳妥。
differ 是不及物动词，意为“（两者）不同”，结构为 A differs from B，不能说 differ A from B；differentiate 可作及物动词或接 between，表示“把……区分开”或“使有差别”。
