用法辨析
- bother的基本意思是“打擾”“攪擾”,指使人受到煩擾或在精神上煩惱; 尤指把某人弄得焦急不安,心煩意亂,心情不能平靜或?qū)R?在句中多半用于否定結(jié)構(gòu)。
- bother在表示“煩擾”“煩惱”時(shí),除人體的head, brain, heart等或由人組成的機(jī)構(gòu)、組織以及個(gè)別俚語(如bother the record)以外, bother一般不用事實(shí)作直接賓語; bother著重“打擾”行為的本身,而不指由此而產(chǎn)生的“煩躁”“不安”狀態(tài),因此表達(dá)“感覺煩躁”這個(gè)意思時(shí),不能說I feel bothered.而應(yīng)說I feel restless.
- bother可用作不及物動(dòng)詞,也可用作及物動(dòng)詞。表示“某事或某人使某人操心或焦急”時(shí)以“原因”為主語,以人為賓語;表示“為某事而操心或焦急”時(shí)以人作主語,“某事”則由with或about引出。在全否定句中,bother可接動(dòng)詞不定式或動(dòng)名詞(可認(rèn)為其前省略了介詞about)作賓語,兩者意思上無明顯差別。bother還可接以動(dòng)詞不定式充當(dāng)賓語補(bǔ)足語的復(fù)合賓語。bother可用于被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu),語氣要比主動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu)時(shí)稍強(qiáng)。
- bother在口語中還可用作感嘆語,意為“討厭”,表示不耐煩或厭惡的感嘆。
- bother作“麻煩”“不便”“憂慮”解時(shí)是不可數(shù)名詞; 作“令人煩惱的人或事物”“引起麻煩的人或事物”解時(shí)是可數(shù)名詞,其前可加不定冠詞。
- bother也可作“努力”解,是不可數(shù)名詞。
- bother在作“斗毆”“暴力行為”解時(shí),多用在英式英語的非正式口語中。
- 表示“打擾或麻煩某人時(shí)”,可用bother…with/about….Don't bother your father about it now. 現(xiàn)在先不要麻煩你的父親。
- bother表示“費(fèi)心”時(shí),有多種表達(dá)方法,而且多用否定句式。bother (oneself) to do是不定式。bother (oneself) about后面跟名詞或動(dòng)名詞。Don't bother to answer this. 不要費(fèi)心去答復(fù)它。Don't bother about answering this.
v. (動(dòng)詞)
n. (名詞)
