[语法感知]
英语中动词可分为两类:动作动词(Activity Verbs),如 ②③⑤ 和状态动词(State Verbs),如 ①④ 。
英语中动词可分为两类:动作动词(Activity Verbs)和状态动词(State Verbs)。动作动词描述动作,可用于一般时态和进行时态;状态动词描述状态,一般不用于进行时态。
一、动作动词可分为三类:
1.表示持续动作的动词,如eat, listen, read, run等。
►She is listening to the radio.
她在听收音机。
2.表示短暂动作的动词,如hit, jump等。
►She jumped up into the chair.
她跳到椅子上。
►He was jumping up and down to keep warm.
他上下跳动来取暖。
这类动词一般用在现在时中,表示当时的一次性动作。如果用于进行时态,则表示短暂动作的多次重复。
3.表示转变和位置移动的动词,如arrive, change, come, die, go, leave等。
►The train leaves at nine.
火车9点开车。(侧重每天)
二、状态动词可分为四类:
1.表示思维活动的动词,如admit, agree, believe, know, mean, realize, remember, think, understand, want等。
►Both have agreed on the need for the money.
双方都同意需要那笔钱。
►Paul had to admit that he didn't know where they were.
保罗不得不承认他不知道他们在哪里。
2.表示情感的动词,如care, like, dislike, love, hate, hope等。
►She cares deeply about environmental issues.
她对环境问题深感忧虑。
►I hope you will stop advertising your product in such a way that may harm our children.
我希望你们停止用可能伤害我们孩子的方式在你们的产品上做广告。
3.表示拥有和存在的动词,如appear, be, belong, contain, have, include, need, seem, possess, own等。
►The gallery possesses a number of the artist's early works.
这座画廊藏有这位艺术家的一些早期作品。
►Each contains five bedrooms, toilet facilities, and a shared kitchen with a fridge and cupboard.
每个都有五间卧室、厕所设施和一个带有冰箱和橱柜的共用厨房。
4.感官动词,如feel, look, smell, sound, taste等。
►It doesn't feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology.
它不像在所有技术进步之前那样感觉孤独。
注意:有些状态动词也可以表示动作。在此意义上,这些动词可以用于进行时态。
►We have a second-hand car.我们有一辆二手车。(have=possess, a state)
►She is having some tea.
她正在喝茶。(have=drink, an activity)
三、有些动词可兼作两类动词,但意思不同。
1.动词hold的句子主语是人,作“握住”讲,是个动作动词;句子主语是处所,则作“容纳”讲,是个状态动词。
►John is holding a ball in his hands.
约翰手里拿着一个球。
►The bus holds 50 people.
这辆公共汽车能坐50人。
2.动词have,当表示动作的发生或过程时,相当于take, get, receive, eat, drink等词,为动作动词;当表示“拥有”,相当于own, possess等词时,为状态动词,没有进行时态。
►I was having my coffee quietly then.(drink)
那时我正安静地喝着咖啡。
►The man has a new car.(own)
这个人有一辆新车。
3.动词consider,作“考虑”讲,为动作动词,后跟名词、动名词作宾语;作“认为”讲,为状态动词,后跟复合宾语、that从句作宾语。
►We are considering your application.(考虑)我们正在考虑你的申请。
►I consider (that) you acted very wisely.(认为)
我认为你做得很明智。
4.动词词组apply to中,如果apply作及物动词,是动作动词,意为“应用”;如作不及物动词,则是状态动词,意为“适用于”。
►They are applying the new theory to practice.
他们正在把这个新理论应用于实践。
►What I have said doesn't apply to you.
我所说的话对你不适用。
