内部讲义:常考词的语法与用法(13)
◆result v. & n.
1. 用作动词,表示“产生结果”或“有某种结果”,是不及物动词,表示先因后果后接介词 in;表示先果后因后接介词 from。如:
Love results in marriage, naturally. 恋爱终归于婚姻(有情人终成眷属)。
His failure resulted from his carelessness. 他的失败是由他的粗心造成的。
比较:
Success results from hard work. 成功来自于努力工作。
Hard work results in success. 努力工作可以导致成功。
2. 用作名词,用于as a result, 意为“结果”、“因此”。如:
As a result he was forced to leave home. 结果他被迫离开了家。
He had some bad fish. As a result, he felt ill. 他吃了些坏鱼,结果感到不舒服。
表示“由于……的结果”,后接介词 of。如:
He was late as a result of(=because of) the snow. 由于下雪,他迟到了。
注:as a result 这一结构中,用不定冠词,但在 as a [the] result 这一结构中,却用不定冠词或定冠词均可。如:
As a [the] result of his hard work, he got a pay rise. 由于他工作勤奋,所以他加了工资。
◆return v.
1. 用作动词,表示“回来”、“返回”,其义相当于 go (come)back, 所以一般不再与副词 back 连用,以免构成用词重复。
2. 表示“归还”,可接双宾语;若双宾语易位,用介词 to。如:
He didn’t return me the book. =He didn’t return the book to me. 他没有还书给我。
3. 用作名词,表示“归来”、“归还”、“回报”,通常用作不可数名词,但有时可与不定冠词连用。如:
We look forward to your return from
He didn’t expect any return from what he had done. 他对他所做的一切,一点不图回报。
These flowers are a small return for your kindness. 向你献花聊表谢忱。
比较 in return (for) 与 on [upon] one’s return:前者意为“作为……的报答(交换)”;后者意为“回来的时候”。如:
What can I do in return for your kindness? 我怎样做才能报答你的好意呢?
On his return from work he found her asleep. 他下班回来,发现她睡着了。
4. 比较:a returned student(归国留学生),a return ticket
(来回票,双程票)
◆rich adj.
1. 用于 the rich, 表示“富人”,表示复数意义。如:
The rich are not always happy. 有钱人并不一定总很快乐。
注:the rich 可以有修饰语。如:
You can tell the very rich by their evening dress. 你可以从晚礼服认出那些极有钱的富人。
2. 比较 rich and poor 与 rich or poor:前者相当于名词,意为“穷人和富人”,后者相当于副词,用作状语(表示让步),意为“不管是穷人还是富人”。如:
Rich and poor celebrate the Spring Festival. 穷人和富人都庆祝春节。
Rich or poor, they are all my friends. 不管是穷人还是富人,他们都是我的朋友。
