词语用法

词义讲解

常见错误

词源解说

v.(动词)

pretend的基本意思是“伪装”“假装”,强调明显地表露出是假的。多用作及物动词,可接名词、代词、动词不定式或that从句作宾语,还可接以形容词充当宾语补足语的复合宾语。

pretend也可用作不及物动词,常与介词to连用,表示“自称应该享有(所有权、权利)或自称有才能、学问”等,也可表示“觊觎”。一般用于疑问句或否定句中。

pretend在口语中还可接as if或like引导的从句,表示“装…的样子”,此时pretend用作系动词,从句的谓语动词要用陈述式。

v.(动词)

pretend, assume, feign

1.feign和pretend作“假装”解时,可互换使用。

2.pretend指佯装成某身份或伪装成正在做某事,其目的是出于嬉戏或欲欺骗他人,多用在坏的意味上; assume指为了掩饰自己而“假装”“装出”,通常指表面上的装腔作势,未必含有坏的意味; feign指作为借口或理由想避免危险、困难等而“伪称”“假装”“冒充”。

3.pretend后可接动词不定式,也可接that从句。

v.(动词)

当我走进房间时,她假装在读一本小说。

误 She pretended reading a novel when I came into the room.

正 She pretended to be reading a novel when I came into the room.

析 pretend作为及物动词可以接动词不定式,但不可以接动名词作宾语。

他母亲进来时,他假装在做作业。

误 When his mother came in, he pretended to do his homework.

正 When his mother came in, he pretended to be doing his homework.

析 pretend后的不定式有时须用进行或完成时态来表达“假装正在做”或“假装已做了…”。

☆ 1380年左右进入英语，直接源自古法语的pretendre，意为主张，要求；*初源自古典拉丁语的prtendere，意为提出，辩解。
