内部讲义:常考词的语法与用法(13)
◆regard v. & n.
1. 用作动词,表示“把……看作……”,与介词 as 连用;as 之后可接名词、代词、形容词、分词、介词短语等。如:
I regard him as a friend. 我把他当朋友。
He regarded the situation as (being) serious. 他认为形势严重。
We can’t regard the matter as settled. 我们不能认为这事已经解决。
He regarded her as (being) without principles. 他认为她没有原则。
注:不要把以上各句中的 as 均不能省略,也不能改为 to be或that 从句。如:
误:I regard him (to be) a friend. (www.hxen.net)
误:I regard him that he is a friend.
2. 表示“注视”、“看待”,通常与介词 with 连用。如:
Now they regard her with a new respect. 现在他们对她有了新的崇敬心情。
3. 用作名词,表示“关心”、“关怀”等,是不可数名词;表示“尊重”、“赞赏”,也是不可数名词,但有时可与不定冠词连用。如:
He shows little regard for others. 他很少关心别人。
I have (a) great regard for him. 我很尊重他。
4. 表示“问候”,要用复数形式。如:
Please give him my (best) regards. 请代我向他问好。
My father sends his regards to you. 我父亲向你问好。
5. 用于 as regards 或 with [in] regard to, 意为“关于”、“至于”。如:
As regards money, I have enough. 至于钱,我有的是。
I have something to say with [in] regard to his conduct. 对于他的行为,我有一点意见。
◆regret v.
1. 表示“遗憾”、“抱歉”,是及物动词,不要按汉语意思在其后连用介词 about 或 for。如:
假若你现在就走,你会后悔的。
误:If you go now, you will regret about [for] it.
正:If you go now, you will regret it.
2. 表示对将要发生的事感到“遗憾”或“抱歉”,其后要接不定式。如:
I regret to tell you that he can’t come. 很抱歉他不能来。
We regret to say that we can’t accept your kind offer. 很抱歉我们不能接受你的友好提供。
注:其后所接不定式通常是 to say, to tell, to inform 等,此时主语一般是第一人称,且 regret 通常用现在时。
3. 表示对已经发生的事感到“后悔”或“遗憾”,其后通常接动名词的一般式或完成式(有时也接不定式的完成式)。如:
He regretted doing [having done] it. 他后悔做了此事。
I regret not having [to have] worked harder. 我后悔当初没有更努力些。
注:若句中含有具体的过去时间状语,则以用动名词的一般式表示已发生的动作。如:
I regret going there yesterday. 我后悔昨天去了那儿。
4. 其后可接 that 从句,比较以下同义句型。如:
我不能来,觉得很遗憾。
正:I regret being unable to come.
正:I regret that I can’t come.
他后悔说了那样的话。
正:He regretted having said that.
正:He regretted that he had said that.
◆remain v.
1. 表示“剩下”、“留下”、“尚需”等,均为不及物动词,因此不能跟有宾语,也没有被动语态,并且一般不用于进行时态。如:
地震之后,没剩几座房子。
误:Few houses were remained after the earthquake.
误:Few houses were remaining after the earthquake.
正:Few houses remained after the earthquake.
