用法辨析
- pretend的基本意思是“偽裝”“假裝”,強(qiáng)調(diào)明顯地表露出是假的。多用作及物動(dòng)詞,可接名詞、代詞、動(dòng)詞不定式或that從句作賓語(yǔ),還可接以形容詞充當(dāng)賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)的復(fù)合賓語(yǔ)。
- pretend也可用作不及物動(dòng)詞,常與介詞to連用,表示“自稱應(yīng)該享有(所有權(quán)、權(quán)利)或自稱有才能、學(xué)問(wèn)”等,也可表示“覬覦”。一般用于疑問(wèn)句或否定句中。
- pretend在口語(yǔ)中還可接as if或like引導(dǎo)的從句,表示“裝…的樣子”,此時(shí)pretend用作系動(dòng)詞,從句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用陳述式。
v. (動(dòng)詞)
