| 释义 | depart 1. Quite a number of prepositions are used with depart; the choice is determined by the meaning and purpose of the prepositional phrase. On or in for the time, on for the nature of the activity, for for the destination, and from for the point of departure, whether physical or nonphysical, are probably the most common, but others appear from time to time: • Alvarado departed on the adventure late in 1523 — Chester Lloyd Jones, Guatemala Past and Present, 1940 • ... and thus departed for Bucharest that December with his Queen —Current Biography 1947 • ... persons who thus departed from the house — Herman Melville, Pierre, 1852 • ... a measure of the amount by which a curve departs from a straight line —Bertrand Russell, Foundations of Geometry, 1897 • ... monetary policy departed from acute restraint — John W. Schulz, Forbes, 1 Dec. 1970 • ... he had a "formula" ... and was not encouraged to depart from it —Seymour Krim, Evergreen, August 1967 2. From the evidence produced by a correspondent reprinted in Safire 1984, some wire service stylebooks (and perhaps some newspaper stylebooks too) insist on from after depart, disapproving the transitive use of the verb. The OED (the volume covering D was published in 1897) marked the transitive use rare except in depart this life. If the transitive was rare at the end of the 19th century, it no longer is. Copperud 1980 calls the use "unexceptionable"; it certainly seems common enough: • So on August 2, 1943, Wahoo departed Pearl Harbor for the Japan Sea —Edward L. Beach, Submarine, 1946 • When Four-two-zero first departed Honolulu — Ernest K. Gann, The High and the Mighty, 1953 • ... when they are departing scientific fact for scientific speculation and when they are departing science altogether —Meg Greenfield, The Reporter, 26 Sept. 1963 • ... one boiling morning in July, we departed my father's house —Larry L.
