词组 part from/part with
释义
part from/part with     

【问】 The Random House Handbook. (P. 253)说: “To part from is to take leave from or goaway from: She parted from her poodle,i. e.,She bade her poodle farewell. To partwith is to give up: She parted with her poodle,i.e. She got rid of the dog. ”(part from的意思是“离开”、“分别”:She parted from her poodle.是说“她告别了她的鬈毛狮子狗。”part with的意思是“放弃”。She parted with her poodle.是说“她摆脱了那条狗。”)

但是我却读到过这样的句子:

He parted with us at the end of the trip. (DAI)

他在旅行结束时与我们分手了。

【答】 如果把The Random House Handbook作者的解释看作是写作指导,那是完全正确的。但是,如果用他的观点来观察英语的实际使用情况,那就未免有失片面。因为在英语的实际使用上,part with除用于表示“放弃”、“摆脱”、“舍弃”、“卖掉”、“解雇”之外,有时也用于表示“分别”。例如The Concise Oxford Dictionary 中明确注明:“part from or with,say goodbyeto”。这就证明part with也可用于表“分别”、“告别”。例如:

1. Mr Jackson has rendered very valuable service to the firm over a number of years,andwe are very sorry to part with him.(Wood)

多年来杰克逊先生为公司做出了许多有价值的贡献,与他分开,我们都感到很惋惜。

2. Of course,we should be very sorry to lose her,but I think that a mother who doesn'tpart with a daughter every season has no real affection. (DEAU)

那当然,虽然让那女儿离开,我们非常难过,但我觉得每当社交忙季不让自己的女孩出去的母亲不能说对她具有真正的感情。
