possession 的用法与短语搭配

1. 表示“拥有”“占有”等,是不可数名词。比较以下各组句子有无修饰语(定冠词或物主代词等)所导致的含义上的区别(主动或被动):

这房子是李先生的。

正:Mr Li was in possession of the house.

正:The house was in the possession of Mr Li.

他得了一大笔财产。

正:He came into possession of a large fortune.

正:A large fortune came into his possession.(www.hxen.net)

注:take possession of 和 have possession of 这两个结构中通常不用冠词。如:

He has had possession of the house for ten years. 他拥有这房子已有10年了。

The policeman took possession of the thief’s bag. 警察拿下了那个小偷的包。

2. 表示“财产”“所有物”等,是可数名词,但通常要用复数形式。如:

He has few possessions. 他的财产很少。

He is a man of great possessions. 他是个大财主。

He lost all his possessions in the fire. 他在火灾中失去了他所有的财产。
