catch, catch at
catch at和catch的意思都是“抓”。它们的区别是:
catch at一般表示“想抓住,设法抓住”,但不一定能抓住; catch则强调抓住。例如:

他抓住我的手,握得紧紧地。
A drowning man will catch at a straw.
快淹死的人连根草也要抓。
catch sb by the arm, catch sb's arm
这两个词都是“抓住某人的胳膊”的意思。它们的区别是:
前者强调“抓住”这一结果,而且往往带有感情色彩; 后者强调“抓住”的部位,不带感情色彩。例如:
The little school boy ran to the pickpocket and caught his arm.
那小学生跑到小偷那儿,抓住了他的手。
Father looked faint.Mary rose quickly and caught him by the arm.

catch, catch up, catch up with
这三者都可表示“赶上”。它们的区别是:
1.catch一般接bus, train等交通工具,而catch up和catch up with较少用于交通工具,较多用于人、单位、团体。
2.catch up和catch up with一般可通用,美式英语多用catch up,英式英语多用catch up with。
