词组 prove
释义 prove
provev. [pruːv] (proved; proved/proven; proving)
双解释义
1. vt. & vi.证明  show that sth is true and right
2. vt.检验,试验  establish that sth is genuine; show that sth has been properly made
基本要点
1. prove的基本意思是“证明”,即以足够、可靠的证据来证明自己的观点或结论是正确的,而对方的论点或结果是站不住脚的。此外,也可表示证实有争议的人或物的品质、实力或适合性等。引申可作“检验”解。
2. prove既可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时,可接名词、代词、从句作宾语。prove还可接"to be+n./adj./prep.-phrase”充当补足语的复合宾语, to be一般可以省略,但当to be是完成式即to have been时不可省略。prove还可用作系动词,意思是“显现出是,被发现是”,其后可接“(to be)+adj./prep.-phrase”或介词短语作表语。
3. prove的过去分词在英国是proved;但在美国往往用proven, proven常用作形容词,在句中作定语。
