词义讲解
常见错误
词源解说
n.(名词)
sight用作名词的基本意思是“视力,视觉”,也可指“看见,瞥见”“视域,眼界”等,是不可数名词。引申可表示“情景,景象”,是可数名词; 还可指“风景,名胜”“(步*等的)瞄准器,观测器”,常用于复数形式。
sight作“视域,眼界”解时,常与介词in(to)连用。
a sight除了可用于表示“一处景象”或“一个瞄准器”之外,在口语中还可指“显得滑稽可笑的、不整洁的人或物”“非常,很多”等。作“非常,很多”解时,其后常接介词of。
at (first) sight〔on sight〕 的意思是“乍一看,初看起来”; at the sight of的意思是“一见(就)”; catch sight of意思是“发现,突然看见”; lose sight of的意思是“忽视,忘记”“看不见”“失去联系”等; out of sight意思是“看不见,在视野之外”。
v.(动词)
sight用作动词时基本意思是“看见,发现”,尤指观望一阵之后才得以“看见或发现…”,此时通常用作及物动词,接名词或代词作宾语,可用于被动结构。
sight还可表示“(用仪器)瞄准〔观测,察看〕”,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。
sight有时还可表示“调整(*、炮等的)瞄准器”,用作及物动词。
n.(名词)
这两个短语意思不同:前者意为“乍一看”,含义是“仅凭表面而未深入探究”, first前没有定冠词the,多位于句末; 后者意为“一见到…(就)”,强调两个动作的连续性, first前常有定冠词the,可置于句末,亦可置于句首。另外, at (the) sight of常可转换为as soon as引导的时间状语从句。例如:
They fell in love at first sight.
他们俩一见钟情。
The little rabbit darted to its mother at the sight of a man.
这小兔子看到人,匆忙跳到母兔处。
n.(名词)
那列火车很快就看不见了。
误 The train was soon out of the sight.
正 The train was soon out of sight.
析 out of sight意为“在视野之外,看不见”, sight前不用定冠词the。
☆ 直接源自古英语的gesiht,意为看见的事物。
