do with和deal with
do with 常与连接代词 what 连用,而 deal with 常与连接副词 how 连用,如:
1 . I don't know how they deal with the problem . (= I don't know what they do with the problem . )我不知道他们如何处理这个问题。
2 . He is easy to deal with . (= He is easy to do with . 这时"do"是不及物动词)他是容易相处的人。这两个词组在使用时有细微的差别。一般地说,do with 表示"处置"、"忍受"、"相处"、"有关"等。如:
1 . They found a way to do with the elephant . 他们找到对付那头大象的办法了。

3 . We are difficult to do with the new comer . 我们很难与新来的那个人相处。
