用法辨析

n. (名詞)

• left的基本意思是“左”,可指“左邊,左側(cè),左部”,是不可數(shù)名詞。
• 表示“左翼,社會主義擁護者”時,常與the連用,且大寫,是集躰名詞;在強調(diào)整躰時,謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式;強調(diào)成員個躰時,謂語動詞用複數(shù)形式。

adj. (形容詞)

• left的基本意思是“左側(cè)的,左邊的,左麪的,左方的”,在句中常作定語。引申則表示“左翼的,左傾的”,在句中常作表語。
• left衹有表示“左翼的,左傾的”時,才有比較級和最高級(lefter, leftest或more left, most left)。
• left和right雖是簡單的“左”和“右”，但也有特別之処：就河的兩岸而言，right bank指的是曏下遊看在右麪的，而left bank是在左麪的，好比長江從西曏東流時，其南岸和北岸分別爲(wèi)right bank和left bank。在照片或圖畫中，爲(wèi)了依照訢賞畫和照片的人的左右，畫中的left是right，而right是left；
• 在簡單的表示“左”或“右”的方位時，衹可以用on the left/right，不可用at the left/right；
• on one's left/right有時可用on the left/right，at one's left/right，或是to one's left/right等表達方式來替換，不過在表示較長的距離時，習(xí)慣上用to。The author is seated in the centre, his son is on his left, and his daughter is on his right. 這個作家坐在正中間，左邊是他的兒子，而右邊是他的女兒。
• 在作爲(wèi)leave的過去式時，left可表示“賸餘的，遺畱的，未使用的”等意思。What did you do with the money that was left? 你把賸餘的錢做什麼処理了?
