| 词组 | end |
| 释义 | 1．注意下面各个用 end 组成的习语里的结构的异同： bring...to an end, bring an end to, put an end to, make an end of（都作“使……停止”解），come to an end（停止） 注意：1．各种表达方式里都用 an 不用 the。2. bring...to an end 比 bring an end to 普通。3．put an end to 不可改作 put...to an end。 2．at an end 作“完毕了的”解，是形容词短语。例如：The conference is now at an end. in the end 作“最后地”解，是状语短语。例如：In the end we reached an agreement. 偶尔也有人用at the end (=in the end）。 3．make both ends meet 是习语，作“量入为出”解，近二三十年来很多人把 both 省去，用 make ends meet。偶尔也有人用 make the two ends meet。 4．在 end 用作“目的”解的时候，说“达到目的”通常用 accomplish, attain, effect 或 gain。 5．The story has a happy end 里用 end 不及用 ending 普通。 6．an end to that state of things 和 the successful end to the war 等表达方式里的 to 改作 of 也可以。 7．There is no end to his energy 和 There seems to be no end to those recollections 等句子里用 to 比用 of 普通。但 Joseph must have had no end of trouble 里用 of 比用 to 普通。There are no end of such stories（这种故事是多得讲不完的）里必须用 of（注意用 are）。 8．no end 有时用作状语短语，作“无穷”解。例如：It's no end good of you to say so. The joke made me laugh no end. 和 That would help us no end. 9．at this end（在我［们］这方面）和 at your end（在你［们］那方面）是商业信函和报纸里的惯用语。 10．the final end 里的 final 是多余的。 11．end 作动词用，为了加强语气，后面有时加上 up。例如： George got in with the wrong crowd of boys and ended up a petty criminal. They had been enemies for years, but ended up the best of friends. Henry worked all day and went out every night, and at last ended up by（或 will）a nervous breakdown. 12．the week ending (on) 4 September 和 the week ended (on) 4 September 都是“9 月 4 日终止的那一星期”。有人说指将来该用第一种形式，指过去该用第二种形式，如 We shall spend the week ending (on) 4 September in the country 和 We spent the week ended (on) 4 September in the country。事实上指将来固然一定用第一种形式，指过去也可以用第一式。 13．把 end 用作被动语态往往不及用作主动语态合乎习惯。例如： The play ends（不用is ended）at eleven o'clock. The term will end（不用be ended）early in July. The story ends（不用is ended）with a celebration meeting. Their estrangement ended（不用was ended）as a result of an explanation. |
