词语用法

词义讲解

常见错误

词源解说

n.(名词)

light的基本意思是“光,光线,光亮”,指自然界中可以照亮其他物体的物质。light也可用来指一束光的来源,即“光源”或“电灯,灯”。light还可用来指“火焰,火花,点火物”。

light作“光,光线”解时,如果其前有形容词修饰,可与a连用。

light在句中有时可用作定语。

adj.(形容词)

light用作形容词时意思是某物有足够的光线,而显得“光线充足,明亮”或颜色“浅淡”;light还可指“轻的”,指某物不重;也可指做某事的动作比较轻缓,即“轻柔的,轻巧的”。引申可指“容易做的,轻松易懂的”“容易承受的,不严厉的”“不猛烈的”“稀少的”“少量的”“易消化的,清淡的”或“不沉的,不熟的”“愉快的,无忧无虑的”等。

light在句中可作定语或表语。用作表语时,其后可接动词不定式或that从句。

v.(动词)

light用作动词时,其意思是“点火”“生火”“点燃”,指为照明或取暖而点蜡烛或生炉子;light还可指用灯或蜡烛等物体来“照亮,照明”,引申可指“使容光焕发”。

light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;用作不及物动词时,主动形式常含有被动意义。

light的过去式和过去分词有两种形式,即lit或lighted。lit较lighted用得更普遍,但其过去分词用作形容词时,一般用lighted,不用lit。

n.(名词)

light, blaze, flame

这组词都有“火”“火光”的意思。

1.blaze指大火; flame既可表示孤立的小火,也可表示“火舌,火苗,火焰”; light为一般用语,泛指日、月、星、火、灯的光。

2.blaze可给人带来温暖,但如控制不住可造成火灾; flame和light强调光明、光线, flame也可造成火灾。

3.blaze多用单数形式; flame表示“火舌,火苗,火焰”时常用复数形式; light为不可数名词。

adj.(形容词)

light, bright

这两个词都可表示“明亮的”。bright指东西发光或反光而明亮，light则指光线充足而明亮。

v.(动词)

light, fire, ignite, inflame, kindle

这组词的意思都与“燃烧”有关。其区别是：

1.fire多用于口语中,表示迅速燃烧起来,并产生通红的颜色; light是普通用语,指发光或发热; kindle指需较长时间或事先要做一定准备方能点燃。例如:

Someone fired the building.有人放火烧了那栋楼房。

She lighted the candles.她把蜡烛点燃。

The spark kindled the dry wood.火星燃着干柴。

2.ignite多用于科技方面,指来势凶猛的燃烧,或与易燃物接触后所引起的燃烧; inflame则多用于文学作品中,指激起强烈的感情。例如:

Spontaneous combustion ignited the heap of oil-soaked rags in the basement.自燃使得地下室渍油的破布堆燃烧起来了。

Her question seemed to inflame him all the more.她的问题似乎使他更加恼火了。

n.(名词)

她开了灯。

误 She switched on light.

正 She switched on a light.

析 light作“灯,灯光”解时常用作可数名词。

误 Plants grow rapidly when exposed to lights.

正 Plants grow rapidly when exposed to light.

析 light作“光线,亮光”解时多用作不可数名词。

v.(动词)

屋子中间有一张桌子,上面有一盏亮着的灯。

误 In the middle of the room stood a table with a lit lamp on it.

正 In the middle of the room stood a table with a lighted lamp on it.

析 light的过去分词有lighted和lit两种,单独作前置定语时应该用lighted,其他情况多用lit。

☆ 直接源自古英语的leht；*初源自原始日耳曼语的lingkhtaz，意为不重的。
