词语用法

词义讲解

词源解说

v.(动词)

postpone是及物动词,基本意思是“延期”“推迟”,一般指有意地拖延且通常拖延到某一确定的时间。后面跟延期或推迟的日期或其他修饰语。所延长的时间常用for引出,有时也可省略,延到某时则用to, untill或till。

postpone可接动名词作宾语,但不能接动词不定式。

v.(动词)

postpone, defer

这两个词的共同意思是“推迟”，其区别是：

1.defer可指有意推迟，也可指因不可抗力而推迟；而postpone一般指有意推迟。

2.postpone常用于拖延到某一确切的时间；而defer则更常用于不确定的时间。

☆ 1500年进入英语，直接源自古典拉丁语的postponere，意为忽略，忽视。
