词语用法

词义讲解

常见错误

词源解说

n.(名词)

pity的基本意思是“怜悯,同情”,指在别人遭遇不幸时所产生的怜悯之情,是不可数名词,一般不与不定冠词连用。

pity也可作“可惜的事,令人遗憾的事”解,为可数名词,但往往只用于单数形式,前面常加不定冠词a,常用于“It is/was a pity...”结构,其后可接动词不定式,也可接that从句。在口语中that可以省略, that从句中有时可用虚拟语气。有时还可以把it is省去,直接用pity作为句子的开头。

pity也常用于“What a pity”结构中,其后可接动词不定式或that从句。

pity有时也可用于反语,表示鄙视之情,指鄙视地怜悯那些由于不幸或天生较弱而条件不优越者。

v.(动词)

pity的基本意思是“同情”,即对某人遭受不幸时表示怜悯。有时可用于反语,表示“认为(某人)可鄙”。

pity是及物动词,接名词、代词作宾语,可用于被动结构。

n.(名词)

pity, compassion, mercy, sympathy

这组词都有“同情”或“可怜”的意思。其区别在于:pity通常只表示内心感到难过或同情,少给予帮助; sympathy指“同情心”或“恻隐之心”,强调共同分担,进而对某种经历或遭遇引起共鸣; compassion指“同情心”,强调由于理解而同情,并主动给予帮助,常常指通过自身痛苦或不幸而同情别人; mercy指“仁慈”或“怜悯”,含有主动救助别人脱离苦难之义。例如:

It is a pity that such an ability as him should be employed about such trifle matters.真可惜,像他这样有才能的人竟然被用来做这类琐事。

Her own experiences had taught her to have compassion for misunderstood children.她自身的遭遇使她认识到应对那些受到误解的孩子予以同情。

The criminal pleaded with the jury for mercy.犯人恳求陪审团宽恕他。

He was moved with sympathy.他动了恻隐之心。

n.(名词)

她对穷人总是抱着同情心。

误 She is always filled with a pity for poor people.

正 She is always filled with pity for poor people.

你们不能接受我的邀请,真是遗憾。

误 It's pity that you can't accept my invitation.

正 It's a pity that you can't accept my invitation.

真可惜,你当时没和我们在一起!

误 What pity you were not with us!

正 What a pity you were not with us!

析 pity是抽象名词,前面一般不加a。但当表示“可惜的事,憾事”或用于感叹句等特殊句型时,前面应该加a。

他怜悯那只无家可归的动物。

误 He took a pity on the homeless animal.

正 He took pity on the homeless animal.

析 have〔take〕 pity on是固定短语, pity 前无冠词。

这个女孩多可怜!

误 What a pity girl she was!

正 What a piteous girl she was!

析 pity一般不修饰名词作定语,须改用其同根形容词piteous。

☆ 13世纪初期进入英语，直接源自古法语的pitet，意为怜悯；*初源自拉丁语的pietatem，意为虔诚。
