词语用法

词义讲解

常见错误

词源解说

v.(动词)

break是一个常用词,基本意思是突然地施加一个力(压力或拉力等)使之“破”或“碎”(从一个裂纹到七零八落)。引申可指事物部分地或全部破坏、瓦解、崩溃。

break有时只表示“冲破”“开创”等过程意义,但更多的是强调了其破坏的物或事物的完整性、统一性或连续性。

break用作不及物动词时,可表示物体“破”,用于人,则可指身体或精神“垮”“崩溃”。

break用作及物动词时,除作“弄断”“弄碎”等解,还可作“透露”解(主要是美国口语),与agreement, promise, law, regulation, rule, vow, word等词搭配时,还可作“违背,违犯”解。可接简单宾语,也可接以形容词或介词短语充当补足语的复合宾语。

break用作不及物动词时,主动形式可表示被动意义,其主语通常是表示无生命的东西。

break后还可接形容词作表语。

n.(名词)

break用作名词的基本意思是“裂口,裂缝; 破裂”,用于时间可表示“间歇,休息时间”,也可指旧方式或生活习惯的“改变”或“中断”,是可数名词。

break作“休息”解时是不可数名词，用作单数形式需加不定冠词。

break在口语中有时作“机会”解,美国俚语中还作“运气”解,是可数名词。

break还可表示“奔跑,试图逃跑”。

break作“天亮,拂晓”解时是不可数名词。

v.(动词)

break off, break out of, break up, break with

这组短语容易混淆,应注意区分:break off作“暂停,中断”解,指人突然终止某种正在进行的活动或已形成的关系,如谈话、婚约等; break out of意为“脱离,逃脱”,指人或物从很危险的、被禁锢的状态中逃脱出来或从俗套中脱颖而出; break up表示“分开,解除”,指使某种相对完整的东西自身解体,还可专指“放假,放学”等; break with作“终止,断绝”讲,常专指人结束自己与他人的友谊、关系,还可指放弃、革除旧习惯等。

n.(名词)

break, demolish, destroy, ruin

这组词都含有“破坏”“毁坏”“消灭”的意思。其区别在于:

1.destroy和ruin这两个词所表示的“毁坏”都含有“彻底”的意味,有时可互换。destroy强调“彻底性”; ruin强调不可修复。例如:

The rain has ruined〔destroyed〕 the crops.这雨把庄稼全毁了。

2.break, destroy和demolish的主语可以是人,也可以是事物; 而ruin的主语多为天灾人祸等无形的力量。例如:

The windshield broke but did not shatter.挡风玻璃裂了,但没有碎。

All the intruders were destroyed.所有的入侵者都被歼灭了。

That street was demolished a few years ago.那条街于几年前拆除了。

She has a very real grievance against the hospital since the operation which ruined her health.自从她做过手术后,健康状况变坏,所以她确实对医院有怨言。

3.break的宾语可以是有形物,也可以是非物质性的事物; destroy和demolish用于具体事物可指“高楼大厦”等; 用于抽象事物时destroy指“名誉”“声望”等, demolish则指某人的论点、论据等。ruin的宾语则多是美好珍贵的事物。例如:

His mother's heart will break if he leaves her.如果他离开母亲,她的心会碎的。

All his hopes were now destroyed.他的一切希望现在都破灭了。

We have demolished all her arguments and she has nothing more to say.我们推翻了她所有的论点,她无言以对。

The manuscript was ruined by long exposure in the cold damp cellar.手稿在地下室因长期受阴冷潮湿的破坏而无法辨认了。

4.break可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词; destroy和demolish只用作及物动词; 而ruin多用作及物动词,偶尔可用作不及物动词。例如:

She broke a vase uncarefully.她不小心打破了一只花瓶。

The cup broke when it fell on the floor.茶杯掉到地上摔破了。

The mad dog ought to be destroyed.这只疯狗应该杀死。

They are going to demolish that old factory.他们准备拆毁那家旧工厂。

I was ruined by that law case; I'm a ruined man!我被那场官司搞垮了,现在已经倾家荡产!

v.(动词)

他在回家的路上摔了一跤,左腿摔断了。

误 He had a fall on his way home and his leg was broken.

正 He had a fall on his way home and broke his left leg.

析 break作“摔坏,跌伤”解时,除非特殊修辞需要,一般不用被动结构。

误 His house broke into last night and a lot of things were stolen.

正 His house was broken into last night and a lot of things were stolen.

析 break into意思是“闯入某地”,主语是物时,谓语动词须用被动结构。

n.(名词)

咱们休息一会吧。

误 Let's take break.

正 Let's take a break.

析 break作“中间休息”解是可数名词,其前的a不可省略。

☆ 1300年左右进入英语，直接源自古英语的brecan，意为打破，粉碎，破坏；*初源自原始日耳曼语的brekan。
