| 释义 | 1．right（权利）后面接不定式或 of 和动名词都可以。例如：You have a（或 the）right to use（或of using）this room. 用不定式比较普通。 2．He is right in thinking so 比 He is right to think so 普通。 3．比较下面四句： It is right for you to do this. （你做这件事是对的。） It is right of you to do this. （你做这件事是应该的。） It is right that you should do this. （跟第一句相同） You do right in doing（或to do）this. （跟第二句相同） 4．You are right 是“你是对的”（不指道德），You are in the right 有时是“你是对的”（不指道德），有时是“你是正直的”（指道德）。right 的反义词是 wrong，in the right 的反义表达方式是 in the wrong。 据我看来，说“对的”（不指道德）用 right 和用 in the right 也有一个区别：right 只说“对的”，in the right 通常含有“在对的（而不是错的）一方面的”的意思。如假定你的朋友某人说 Shakespeare was born in England，你对他说 You are right，通常不说 You are in the right。但假使甲说 Shakespeare was born in England，乙说 Shakespeare was born in France，你对甲说 You are right 或 You are in the right 都可以。wrong 和 in the wrong 也有这区别。 5．right 可以用作副词，作 rightly 解，right 通常用在动词的后面，rightly 通常用在动词的前面。例如： 但在 remember，act 等词后面 right 和 rightly 都可以用，如 If I remember right(ly), during the past few years it has very seldom happened that we didn't see each other for so long as a fortnight 和 You acted quite right(ly)。 6．right along，right here，right now 和 right there 是美国英语，相当于英国英语 all the way along，here and now，at this moment 和 just there。right away（立刻）原来也是美国英语，但现在在英国也很普通，相当于英国英语 straight away。 7．put right 和 set right 作“修理”，“治疗（人）”或“改正”解，put to rights 和 set to rights 作“安排”解，不可说 put to right 或 set to right，注意下面各句： We should try to put（或set）the machine right. I hope this medicine will put（或set）you right. The essay contains some misprints, it should be put（或set）right. He has a wrong opinion about this, he should be put（或set）right. I wonder how we can put（或 set）matters right（或to rights）. She put（或set）her room to rights and went out. 8．参见 left |
