| 词组 | drown |
| 释义 | 1．drown 用作不及物动词作“淹死”解，但除了在现在分词和动名词以外，通常不用 drown 而用动词 to be＋drowned，如 The drowning man was a foreigner, He was saved from drowning 和 He was drowned last night。He drowned last night 也不算错，但不很自然。 2．drown 用作不及物动词作“淹死”解，用作及物动词作“把……淹死”解，都指“死”，说“淹而未死”或“放入水中”不可用 drown，如不可说 I was drowned last night, but was fortunate enough to be saved 和 I drowned my cat, but she jumped up and ran away。 3．drown 只用于有生命的东西，不可用来指船的“沉没”或“使（船）沉没”，如不可说 The ship (was) drowned yesterday，该改作下面的任何一式： The ship went down yesterday. The ship sank yesterday. The ship was sunk yesterday. The ship was lost yesterday. The ship was wrecked yesterday. |
