A. 总结英语中常见单词的不常见意思,附例句!越多越好
我归纳的这个材料也许对你很有用.
由于汉语表达的影响,容易忽略英语中的重要单词
available 没加以利用的
Do you have aroom, manager?
Do you have aroom available?
choose
--- Will you go to visit your grandmotherwith me or stay home to watch T V?
--- I will stay home and watch TV.
(I choose to stay home and watch TV.)
instead 或者 in return
We didn’t visit Shaoshan,(instead) we paid a visit to an old friend of my father’s.
Instead of 是短语介词,后接宾语
The professorasked us to write reports instead of giving us an exam.
He presented mea famous novel, I bought him a country music CD(in return)
“卖保险”不能说 sell insurance而说 sell insurance policies
Food (supplies) in the
flood-stricken area are running out, we must act immediately before there is
none left.
比较句中比错了对象
在汉语表达中,我们常说教授的工资比办事员高。但英语中教授的工资是不能和办事员这个人来比的。所以The professor’s salary is higher than a clerk.是错的,所以英语中多用 that或者those代替前面出现了的名词。正确说法是:
The professor’ssalary is higher than that of a clerk.
more examples:The students in our class are more diligent than those in their class.
7. but作介词表示“除…之外”时,可以接不定式做宾语,而不定式带不带to要看前面有没有do。前有do,后不用to。我们暂且把这叫做介词but接不定式时的do to不相容原则
Hedoes nothing but play computer games.
Hehas no choice but to obey his father’s order.
有个结构得搞清楚:He can deal with all butremenmber new words.
句中的can 管着两个动词:deal 和 remember,前有情态动词can,所以but后的remember不用to
英语中需用主动表被动的句型:
Bacteria are too small to see.
This novel is worth reding.
This math problem is very hard(easy, difficult) to work out.
This boy wants(needs, requires)washing.
Suffer和go starving
汉语中的“容易”有时不是“难”的反义,而是“往往”,“倾向于”的意思。
Be careful,
English learners tend to make mistakes when they translate this sentence into
English.
Leave him alone,he tends to get angry when he is writing something.
汉语口语中的“不知道”有时意思是“想知道”,宜用wonder 翻译。
It is a fine day
today and I wonder whethter it will rain tomorrow, some of us want to have a
picnic.
今天很晴朗,不知道明天会不会下雨,我们有些人想去野炊呢。
“有事要做”如果是主语自己做,作定语的不定式用主动,如果是别人来做,就要用被动。
Boss, I havefinished typing the letters, do you have anything else to be typed?
He is alwayshaving so much to do.
当你的回答与对方想得到的回答不一致时,宜用I’m afraid 开头,显得礼貌或者让对方好接受些。
----- Can I beaway for a few minutes, boss?
---- I’m afraidyou can’t, you have to recept an important client soon.
前文出现过的动词或动词词组,随后以不定式形式出现时,只用to,而省略该动词或其词组。
----- Pleasefetch me a thermos of water.
----- I don’twant to.
英语What’s the matter?中,疑问词what是做主语的,不存在倒装,变成名词性从句时不要做变化。
I went out tosee what was the matter.
不能说:I went out to see what the matter was.

C. 为什么一个英文单词有很多不同的意思怎么发展的
英文单词有很多来源,有的象是中文一样很多词在使用过程中以类比之类的方式产生衍回生意,有的则答是借来的,但是恰好与原来的单词是同样的形式,比如BALL在源语中意思是球,而在由法语中借来的BALL一词意思是跳舞的地方。
D. 相同意思不同英语单词的区别
proposition
更接近
suggestion,它只是一个建议,不是很具体
proposal
更接近
plan,它是一个完整的具体的建议
中文专意思属差不多的时候,一般看英文解释和例句来区分。推荐使用
Collins
Cobuild(柯林斯)字典,非常好
E. 英语单词一样,意思不一样的。
two,to,too by,bye,buy wait,weight, right,rite,write
F. 为什么有些英语单词有多个不同含义的意思
您好呀,学而好为您解答。
“一词多义”是任何语言不可避免会出现的用词现象内,是“用法不同”造成的,
英语中容一词多义非常普遍,主要是因为说英语的民族经常习惯于”不怎么用本义反而喜欢借用“的缘故,这也是为什么英语中”比喻“用法泛滥的主要原因.
希望对您有所帮助
G. 每个英语单词都会有很多种意思,我想问一下,这些不同的意思之间有联系吗
当然! 很明显嘛~
不过不用以此类推,有些词义还是很大区别的~ 自己对照下汉语就知道了
你不要只看汉语翻译,要查字典看一下它的英语解释,这样能更有助于你理解的!!
H. 英语中一个单词多个意思且意思不同,这样的单词有哪些
基本上常见的英语单词都有不止一个意思。
比如说 weasel 这个单词,作动词是“逃避”的意思,作名词是“黄鼠狼”的意思
I. 一个单词 但有很多个不同的意思的英语单词都有哪些
中英文除了一些表示名称的词,基本上都没有一一对应关系,记英语单版词主要要记这个词权的根意或基本义,其它意思都可以从基本义推出,有时需记几个基本义。翻译时,英翻中,就要注意用中文习惯的说法翻译,反之亦然,而千万不要执着于每个单词字典中的解释。
J. 英语中的一个单词为什么有很多意思,而且意思之间非常不同
个人觉得:“一词多义”是任何语言不可避免会出现的用词现象,是“用法不同”造成的,“词源不同”却仅见于“近义词”中,因为很多”近义词“往往也是“应用领域或对象”不同而特别区分的。英语中一词多义非常普遍,主要是因为说英语的民族经常习惯于”不怎么用本义反而喜欢借用“的缘故,这也是为什么英语中”比喻“用法泛滥的主要原因。
理论上讲,每个单词的“本义”只有一个,其它意思是从本义发展出来的“衍生义”或“派生义”。您的提法中所说的各个”意思之间非常不同“其实是误解:多义词的多个意思之间其实是”极其相关“的,所有其它意思源于本义,多数字面上的差异往往是”比喻、拟人、借喻、借代、抽象“等用法(修辞手法)所致,只有极少数单词在发展过程中会出现”转义“(意思的转变),或者由于年代久远的关系造成现在理解起来极其困难。
因此,从”构词法“(这个单词是怎么造出来的)和”用词法“(这个单词的这个意思是怎么用出来的)这2个角度入手,基本上能解决绝大多数英语单词中的”一词多义“问题,个别情况下还需要参考或分析它的”词源“(看它祖宗十八代)。如此,通过多义词的本义就能把它诸多的意思串联起来,这才是长久记住单词的根本办法,否则,就算天天看天天背也是”治标不治本“的做法。
