词义讲解
常见错误
词源解说
n.(名词)
point用作名词时的意思比较多,可作“要点,论点,观点,尖端,尖儿,点; 小数点,标点,(某一)时刻,(某一)地点,分数,得分,条款,细目”“特点,特征,长处”等解,均用作可数名词。作“目的,意图”解时,是不可数名词,多与the 连用。
in point意思是“切题的,恰当的”; in point of意思是“就…而言,在…方面”; make a point of sth 意思是“特别重视某一事项”; not to put too fine a point on it意思是“不客气地说,直截了当地说”。
v.(动词)
point用作动词的意思是“削尖”“弄尖”“使尖锐”,引申表示为“指向”“对准”“加强”“强调”等。
point既可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时接名词或代词作宾语; 用作不及物动词时,常与介词to,at,towards等连用,表示“指向某位置或方向”,或者表示“表明”“暗示”等。
n.(名词)
这组短语的意思并不完全相同。其区别在于：
1.at the point of和on the point of的意思都是“将近…的时候”“即将…的时候”,前者多接名词,后者多接动名词。例如:
The boy hurt in the accident lay at the point of death for weeks, then he got well.事故中受伤的男孩生命垂危达数星期,后来他恢复了健康。
I'm glad you've come.I was on the point of telephoning you, but you've saved me the trouble now.你来了,我真高兴。刚才我正要给你打电话,但现在你让我省事了。
2.in point of意思是“关于”“就…而论”。例如:
In point of that test,I have discussed with him. 关于那个试验,我已经和他讨论了。
3.on the point of比 at the point of表示的时间更迫近。试体会：
The man was at the point of death.
这人快要死了。
The man was on the point of death.
这人就要死了。
v.(动词)
这组短语的意思并不相同。其区别在于：
1.point by point的意思是“一点一点地”。例如:
The fire burns down point by point.火一点一点地变弱了。
2.point for point的意思是“一点一点地对比”。例如:
Point for point you must choose between the two men.一点一点地对比你必须在这两人中间挑一个。
3.point to point的意思是“从一点到另一点”。例如:
We advanced from point to point.我们从一点走向另一点。
n.(名词)
现在哭也没有什么用了。
误 There's no point to cry now.
正 There's no point in crying now.
正 There's no point crying now.
如果情况属实,再跟他争辩就没有意义了。误 If it is the case, there is no point to argue further with him.
正 If it is the case, there is no point in arguing further with him.
正 If it is the case, there is no point arguing further with him.
析 there's no point后不能接动词不定式,只能接(in) v -ing结构。
为了完成这件事,我们必须做到两点。误 In order to finish the work, we must do two points.
正 In order to finish the work, we must do two things.
析 误句为中式英语,这里的两点的含义是“两件事”。
v.(动词)
他指了指墙上的标示牌。
误 He pointed the sign on the wall.
正 He pointed at〔to〕 the sign on the wall.
时针指向一点半。误 The hands of the clock pointed at half past one.
正 The hands of the clock pointed to half past one.
析 point是不及物动词,后接宾语时要用at或to。在表示“时针指向”时,介词只能用to,不能用at。
当时他正把*对准我。误 He was pointing the gun to me.
正 He was pointing the gun at me.
析 point表示“指”,是不及物动词,表示“指着…”要用point at〔to〕 ...,作“把…指向…”“把…对准…”解时point是及物动词,要用point...at结构。
我指出了她的错误。误 I pointed to her mistake.
正 I pointed out her mistake.
讲解员给我们指出了所有有意思的东西。误 The guide pointed to us all the objects of interest.
正 The guide pointed out to us all the objects of interest.
一切证据都表明他有罪。误 All evidences point out his guilt.
正 All evidences point to his guilt.
析 point out表示“指出…”,相当于及物动词的用法,后接宾语; point to意为“说明”“表明”。
他把*放在洞里,*口朝外。误 He placed his gun in the hole, pointed outward.
正 He placed his gun in the hole, pointing outward.
析 “*口朝外”构成句子的伴随状语,需用现在分词。
☆ 直接源自拉丁语的pungere，意为刺穿。
