词语用法

词义讲解

v.(动词)

boast的基本意思是“升,提”,指说话人在确实具有夸耀理由的基础上,对自己的某一事(如业绩、成就、学识、机灵、祖先等)有比事实更大的虚饰,更多的炫耀,有言过其实的成分,可译作“夸口”或“吹嘘”,但并不一定都有坏的含义。引申表示为“因拥有…而自豪”。

boast用作不及物动词时,意为“自夸”“自吹自擂”,常接介词of或about; 用作及物动词时可跟简单宾语,也可跟that从句。接以“(to be)+ n./adj. ”充当补足语的复合宾语时则表示“自诩是”“自夸是”。

boast用在进行时态中时,并不真正表示“正在吹嘘”,而是说他有爱吹嘘的坏毛病。

n.(名词)

boast作“自夸的话”解时有贬义，作“引以为荣的事物”解时不带贬义。

boast后常跟that引导的同位语从句。

v.(动词)

boast about, boast of

这组词语都表示夸耀的内容,常可互换,只是of所指内容比about更具体些。试比较:

The old woman often boasts about her grandson.

那老太太常常夸耀自己的孙子。

The old woman often boasts of her grand- son's high grades in school.

那老太太常常夸耀她孙子学习成绩 优秀。
