释义 | 1.下面三句都作“我已经三十岁以上了”解: I have turned thirty. I am turned of thirty. I am turned thirty. 注意:(1)不可说 I have turned of thirty。(2)第二句和第三句里的 turned 是不及物动词的过去分词用作形容词。(3)第二句嫌旧,不很普通。 可以说 She is only a girl just turned sixteen。 A school-teacher turned novelist published his first work last week 里的 turned 作“成为”解,也是不及物动词的过去分词用作形容词。参见 3 2.下面每组里的两句意思相同: 参见 prove 3 3.比较下面各句: The young woman turned out a musician. (这个年轻女子后来被人发现她是一个音乐家。[她原来是音乐家,不过人家不知道。]) The young woman turned into a musician. (这个年轻女子成了音乐家。[例如在童话里]) The young woman turned musician. (这个年轻女子成了音乐家。) 关于第三句,下面几点该注意: (1)musician 是表语,前面没有 a。 (2)即使 turned 的主语是复数,表语也往往用单数形式。例如:Both sisters turned musician(s). (3)这结构通常表示突然的或者不很好的变化。例如: As my mother was ill, I had to turn cook.
