词组 set
释义 1.set 用作“放……(在那里)”解不及 put 通俗。

2.The sun has set 和 The moon is setting 等句子里不可在 set 或 setting 后面加上 down。

3.下面两句意思不同:
I have set him a task. (我已经给他一件工作。)
I have set him to a task. (我已经使他开始做一件工作。)

4.下面各句里的 set 的宾语后面都接现在分词:
That set me thinking. (那件事使我思索起来。)
The joke set all of us laughing. (这笑话使我们都大笑起来。)
Her absence set them wondering. (她的缺席使他们奇怪起来。)
The opening of the door set the bell ringing. (门一开使铃响起来。)
在这四句里的 thinking,laughing,wondering 和 ringing 前面加上 to 也可以,但不很普通。
下面各句里的 set 的宾语后面都接不定式:
He set his son to saw wood. (他叫他的儿子锯木头。)
She set her cat to catch mice. (她让她的猫捉老鼠。)
Who set you to pick the flowers? (谁叫你采这些花的?)
把这三句里的 to saw,to catch 和 to pick 改作 to sawing,to catching 和 to picking 也可以。用了动名词便把那动作看作一件工作,如 He set his son to saw wood 是“他叫他的儿子锯木头”。He set his son to sawing wood 是“他叫他的儿子做锯木头的工作”。
set myself(或 yourself 等)to...(不定式)作“决意……”解。例如:He has set himself to read through the long novel.

5.set to work(开始工作)和 set... to work(使……开始工作)两种表达方式里的 work 是名词,不是动词。后面都可以接不定式。例如:I have set to work to learn German. 和 I have set her to work to learn German. 有时接分词。例如:I have set to work learning German. 和 I have set her to work learning German.

6.I have set to learning German(我已经开始学习德语)里的 to 可以被当作介词(learning 是动名词),也可以被当作副词(learning 是现在分词)。
