■ distinguish可以及物，也可以不及物。基本上是个瞬时动态动词，但也可以用作延续状态动词。 1) 作为及物动词，基本搭配是 to distinguish X from Y，主语可以是认识到区别的人，但也可以是显示区别的客观事物。 - ... permits us to distinguish the styles of the North American Indians... from those of the better-known African, Mesoamerican and South Pacific primitive cultures. (Barbara Rose, New York, Jan. 10, 1972)…使得我们能够将北美洲印第安人的样式同非洲、中美洲以及南太平洋一些原始文化的样式区别开来。
... It had its stone wall... to protect it, distinguishing it from an open village. (G. M. Trevelyan, English Social History) …它有一堵石墙…保护住它，使它区别于一个开阔的村庄。2) 作为不及物动词，基本搭配是 to distinguish between X and Y，主语通常只能是认识到区别的人。 - ... a child under four will hardly distinguish between yesterday and a week ago. (Bertrand Russell, Education and the Good Life)…一个不满四岁的孩子，很难分清昨天与一周以前。
