释义

■ care

这个单词作为名词使用时词义比较清楚明确,问题不大。但是作为动词使用时,部分意义有点复杂,甚至有些意义似乎相互矛盾。下面将 care 的几种主要意义和用法分别列举。

1) care about 或是 care 后面接从句,是个表示状态的延续动词(第一类),词义是“关心”、“在乎”、“介意”、“顾虑”(意义从正面逐渐遍及反面)。

  • She cares deeply about social issues.她十分关心社会问题。
  • All he cares about is sport.他唯一关心的就是体育运动。
  • He doesn't care about his clothes.他不讲究衣着。
  • He cares (about) what other people think.他对别人怎样想是在乎的。
  • Once inside, we didn't care whether it rained or not.进去之后,下不下雨我们就不在乎了。
  • I don't care a damn about the job.对这份差事我才不在乎呢。
  • I couldn't care less what he does.他干些什么我才不管呢。
  • I couldn't care less if he comes or not.他来不来,我才管不着。

  • What do I care if they don't invite me?他们不邀请我又怎么样?
  • Who cares what she says?谁管她说些什么呢?

逐渐往否定意义发展,可以接近 mind 的程度。

  • I don't care if I go.我去一趟也可以。
  • If no one cares, I'll smoke.如果没有谁介意,我就抽烟了。

2) 表示“喜欢”、“乐意”、“愿意”(都是正面的,属第一类动词),采用三种形式:

a) care for(多用于否定句或疑问句,较少用于肯定句,而且由于表示心态,不能用进行时)。

  • I don't care for his type very much.我不大喜欢他那一类型的人。
  • The house was lovely, but I didn't care for the furniture.房子倒是挺舒服的,不过我不喜欢那些家具。
  • What music do you care for best?您最喜欢哪种音乐?

  • Would you care for a cigar?来根雪茄烟好吗?
  • Would you care for a stroll in the garden?到花园散散步好吗?
  • I don't care much for going to the theatre.我不大喜欢看戏。
  • He didn't drink; he didn't care for the taste of it.他没有喝;他不喜欢那股酒味。
  • I didn't care for the way he looked at me.我不喜欢他那副盯着我看的样子。

但是 care for(不限于否定句与疑问句)也有普通的含义,就是“照料”(在体上属表示活动的延续动词,第二类)。

  • to care for the wound照料伤员
  • to care for an aged relative at home在家照料一个年老的亲戚
  • The children are well cared for.孩子们得到良好的照料。

Care for 用于表示行动的“照料”意义时,可以用现在或过去进行时。

  • Millions of boomers are caring for parents afflicted with a disease that steals minds and memories.数以百万计的婴儿潮时期出生者,正在照料着患了一种丧失心智和记忆力的疾病的父母。

b) care to inf. (属第一类兼第二类动词)。

  • Would you care to join us for dinner?您愿意同我们一起吃晚饭吗?
  • He needs her more than he cares to admit.他比自己愿意承认的更加需要她。
