词义讲解

常见错误

词源解说

v.(动词)

reduce的基本意思是“减少”,指重量、程度、数目、范围、速度等减少或降低,不仅可以指量的变化,还可以指质的转变。引申可作“降职”“使…陷入某种状态或状况中”“将…概括或简化”“将…还原”“征服”“攻陷”等解。

reduce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。可用于被动结构。

reduce偶尔也可接动词不定式作宾语补足语,意思是“使…不得不…”。

reduce后常接介词by表示“以某幅度减少”或“以…方法减少”; reduce常接介词to表示“减少到…”或“使陷入…状态”。

reduce的过去分词reduced常可用作形容词,在句中作定语。

v.(动词)

reduce by, reduce to

这两个短语都表示“减少”,前者用于表示减少的数量; 后者用于表示减少的程度。

v.(动词)

他们被减薪了。

误 Their salaries were reduced down.

正 Their salaries were reduced.

正 Their salaries were cut down.

析 reduce本身就表示减少,所以无需再用down这一副词。

☆ 14世纪晚期进入英语，直接源自古法语的reducer；*初源自拉丁语的reducere：re (回） + ducere (带，领），意为带回，恢复，撤退。
