词组 | come |
释义 | 1.come 是“来”,go 是“去”,似乎很简单,但有下面几点该注意: (l)Please come to see me 里当然用 come,不可用 go。I will come to see you 和 I will go to see you 都可以说,但通常用 come。在“来”和“去”对比的场合用 go。例如:As you cannot come to see me, I will go to see you. (2)He has asked me to come to see him 和 He has asked me to go to see him 都可以说,但通常用 come。在“来”和“去”对比的场合用 go。例如:As he cannot come to see me, he has asked me to go to see him. He has asked me to go to see his brother 里用 go,但假使那哥哥或弟弟跟“他”在一起,也可以改用 come。 (3)Shall you come to see him tomorrow?和 Shall you go to see him tomorrow?都可以说,但用了 come 含有“我也将去”的意思。Will you come with me to see him?和 Will you go with me to see him?都可以说,似乎用 come 普通些。 2.He has come from Shanghai 是“他曾经从上海来”,He comes from Shanghai 是“他是上海出身的人”。He comes of(或 from)a peasant family(他是农民家庭出身的人)里用 comes,不可用 has come。 Where do you come from?是“你是什么地方的人?”Where have you come from?是“你刚从什么地方来?” 3.come(过去分词)有时被用作形容词,如 He is come 和 Your time is come。is come 着重在“已来”的状态,has come 着重在“已来”的动作。is come 现在不普通。 下面三句里的 come 都是过去分词用作形容词: I am glad to hear of George come home. The young man is an engineer come to consult my father. This is one of my childhood reveries come real (成为了事实的). 4.have come 是“已经来而仍旧在这里”的意思,说“已经来(而又去了)”不可说 have come,所以下面各句都不对: He has come often recently. He has come twice this week. He has come only once. 该把各句里的 come 改作 been here。 但 have come and gone 是可以说的,因为 come and go 是习语,作“来而复去”,“来来去去”或“一来就去”解。 Nobody has come 是“没有人已经来到。”Nobody has been 是“没有人来过”。 5.He has come for five days 是“他已经来了,预备住五天”(不是“他已经来了五天”)。He has been coming for five days 是“他已经有五天要来而未来了(实际不曾来)”。说“他已经来了五天”该说 He has been here for five days。It is five days since he came (here) 和 He came (here) five days ago 都没有“他仍旧在这里”的含意。 6.答应敲门的人,英国人通常说 Come in!美国人通常说 Come! 7.How comes it that you have lost your watch? How came this word to be used in this sense?等句并不比 How does it come that...?How did this word come...?等句不普通。在美国有 How comes you have lost your watch?等句(没有 it 和 that),在口语里往往不用 comes 而用 come。 8.when(偶尔用 if)it comes to(至于……,就……而论)里的 to 是介词,不是不定式的符号,所以 When it comes to writing short essays, you had better ask his advice 里的 writing 不可改作 write。come near to(几乎)里的 to 也是介词,所以 He came near to making the mistake 里的 making 不可改作 make。 9.Come have supper with us 和 He asked me to come see him 里的 have 和 see 前面省去 to 是习惯用法,但不及不省略普通。 10.下面两句意思相同: He came to the house by inheritance. The house came to him by inheritance. 11.I first met him five years ago, come the sixth of next month 是“我在 5 年前的下个月 6 日第一次遇到他”。 12.come in useful 是“证明为有用”,come in handy 是“证明为在手头可用”。不可说 come in convenient, come in useless, come in interesting 等。 |
