 ♣ dress well, well dressed

 ♣ dress, have on, put on, wear
　这组词语都有“穿”或“穿衣”的意思。其区别是：
1. 在表示“穿着”时， wear和have on可以互换。
2. dress仅限于表示“穿衣服”; put on可表示“穿上衣服”或“戴上眼镜、帽子等”; wear和put on则可表示一般的“穿”或“戴”；留胡子则用wear来表示。
3. put on只表示动作；wear和have on均表示状态；dress则既可表示动作也可表示状态。
4. put on是瞬间动词；wear和have on都是持续性动词；dress则既可作持续性动词，也可作瞬间动词。
5. have on不能用于进行时态，其他3个词则可以。
 ♣ 下列两句话的意思不同：

　前一句中的dressed是过去分词作定语，作“穿着”(wearing)解，而后一句中dressing是不及物动词dress的现在分词形式，表示“穿（衣服）”(putting on a dress)的意思。

1. 我马上就能穿好衣服。
　［误］ I can dress my clothes in no time.
　［正］ I can dress in no time.

　［正］ She is well dressed this morning.
　［析］ dress可表示“穿着”的状态，如果要表示一次穿衣情况，则要用被动语态。

　［同义词］ n. clothes, clothing, costume, frock, skirt v. clothe, garb
　［反义词］ v. undress
　［词源］　中古英语dressen（弄直） <古法语drecier（安排）
