常见错误
词源解说
adj.(形容词)
cruel作为形容词具有评价意义。其基本意思是表示人的某种性格特点,即置别人的痛苦于不顾,甚至以目睹他人遭受痛苦或使他人遭受痛苦为快。
cruel在句中可用作定语或表语。作定语时主要修饰表示人的名词,也可修饰疾病、战争、命运等抽象名词。作表语时,其后可接由to引起的介词短语,表示“对…残酷”; 也可接动词不定式(短语),表示根据某一行动而评价某人是“残酷〔忍〕的”,这时的主语与动词不定式呈逻辑上的主谓关系。
adj.(形容词)
这两个词的意思都是“残忍的”,其区别仅在于程度上。后者表示“极度残酷”,语义比前者强得多。例如:
Murder is a brutal crime.谋杀是极残忍的罪行。
adj.(形容词)
这样做真残忍。
误 It was very cruel doing so.
正 It was very cruel to do so.
析 cruel后可接动词不定式,但不接动名词。
☆ 13世纪初期进入英语,直接源自古法语的cruel,crudel;*初源自古典拉丁语的crudelem,意为失去知觉的,残忍的。
