词组 | acquaint |
释义 | 1.acquaint 是“使……认识”,不是“认识”,后面接 with。“我认识他”该说 I am acquainted with him。be acquainted with 含有“仅仅认识、并不亲近”的意思。 2.acquaint 虽然作“使……认识”解,“我要使他认识她”却不可说 I want to acquaint him with her,照习惯该说 I want to make (或get) him acquainted with her。 3.make (或 get) him (或 you 等) acquainted with 后面接指事物的词也可以。例如:I want to make (或 get) him acquainted with some new words. (我将使他认识几个新词。)把 make 或 get 改作 bring 从前普通,现在不大通用。 4.He wrote to acquaint me with the situation(他写信告诉我那情况)和 He wrote to acquaint me how the work was going on 等句子里的 acquaint 现在在美国是普通的,但在英国不很普通,通常改用 tell 或 inform。改用了 tell 或 inform,第一句里的 with 该改作 about。 |
