词组 | place |
释义 | 1. 有时可指“住所、房子、家”等,下面每组句子的含义相似: We've bought a little place in the suburbs. We've bought a little house in the suburbs. Come over to my place. Come over to my home. 2. place 和 room 都可表示“地方”, 但 place 指“特定的地方或空间”, room 泛指“地方、空间”。place 为可数名词,room 为不可数名词: Is there any room for me in the car? ( 汽车里有多大地方? 不清楚。只是泛泛而问) Is there a place for me in the committee? ( 特指该委员会里的席位) 3. 在固定词组中,place 有时用复数,有时前面用定冠词,有时前面没有冠词,应注意: 1) 前面没有冠词: slide the bolt into place fall into place fit into place put quality in place feel out of place Changes are taking place here. click into place 2) 前面有定冠词: travel all over the place as if you own the place take the place of steam ships 3) 用复数形式: change places with her swap places with me going places have friends in high places plain,apparent,obvious 这组词都有“显而易见”的含义。 1. plain 最常用,强调“明白无误、清楚简单、一目了然”: His guilt is plain — the stolen wal- let is in his hand. 2. apparent 所指的“显而易见”含推测的成分较多,不一定是事实: He won the prize with apparent ease. ( 获奖看似容易,其实不然) 3. obvious 侧重指“因隐藏得不好而轻易让人发现的”,有“明白摆着的”含义: The meaning of the word is obvi- ous from its component parts. ( 词的意思不是那么容易被理解的,需分析后才能得知) 4. 下面的短语一般用 plain: plain speaking plain talking plain English plain language plain wording plain fact plain truth as plain as day as plain as pikestaff as plain as the nose on your face in plain terms in plain words 5. 表示“黑巧克力”英国人用 plain chocolate,美国人用 dark choco- late。 |
