概述
实义动词具有完整的词义,能独立用作谓语,分及物动词和不及物动词。
及物动词
及物动词从语义上不能完整的叙述“做什么”的过程,需要有自己的宾语来说明动词的接受者、对象物或处所等客观实体,才能构成完整的意义。通常及物动词可用于被动语态。
The store employed extra workers at Christmas.
Extra workers were employed by the store at Christmas.
圣诞节期间店里雇了临时工。
有些不及物动词与介词构成短语,夜作及物动词,并能用于被动句。
She looked after the little baby closely.
The little baby was closely looked after by her.
她细心照顾婴儿。
不及物动词
不及物动词从语义上说明了“做什么”的过程,本身意义完整,不涉及动作接受者、对象或处所等客观实体。在语法上不需要宾语,因此一般至于主动语态有关。
Take time when time comes, lest time steal away.〈谚〉把握时辰,勿失良机。
We will arrive the day after tomorrow.我们将宇后天到达。
但在英语中,某些不及物动词克与介词连用(vi+prep),构成短语动词。这类短语动词具有机务动词的特征,需要有自己的宾语。
I will listen to any suggestion you make.我乐意倾听你提出的任何建议
