英语是AEAS考试培训中至关重要的课程,2016AEAS考试报名时大家关注较多的就是英语方面。为了更好的提高广大考试的AEAS真题模拟成绩,下面AEAS考试网带领大家一起学习pain的语法特征及用法说明(下)。

三、表示“努力”“辛苦”

1. 可数性问题:此时总是用pains这样的复数形式。如:

He had written the book with great pains. 他呕心沥血写了这本书。

We must give him something for his pains. 我们必须给他点什么以便酬报他的辛劳。

2. 修饰语问题:此时pains虽为复数形式,但在选择修饰语时,却总是被视为不可数名词,即不能用 many, few 等修饰,但可用 much, little等修饰。如:

Much pains, no gains. 辛劳无获。

3. 主谓一致问题:用作主语时,谓语通常用复数。如:

The labour pains were unbearable. 体力劳动的辛苦让人无法忍受。

Great pains have been taken to do this. 做这事费了不少苦心。

有趣的是,此时即使是用 much pains, little pains 等形式作主语,其谓语也通常用复数。

注:原来可用单数谓语,但在现代英语中已很少见。

四、用于某些习语

1. be at pains to do sth 费心(努力)做某事。如:

He is at pains to find facts. 他努力了解事实真相。

She was at pains to make sure that we all understood. 她尽了最大努力使我们每个人都弄懂。

2. in pain 疼痛的,疼痛地。如:

He was wounded and in pain. 他受了伤,很痛。

She was still twisting about in pain. 她疼得一个劲儿地打滚。

3. take pains to do [in doing] sth 费心(努力)做某事。如:

He has taken pains to study the problem. 他费尽了心血研究这个问题。

I took great pains to keep [in keeping] the house clean. 我费了不少心来保持房子整洁。

4. take pains over [with] sth 费心(努力)做某事。如:

He takes great pains over his work. 他工作兢兢业业。

He is a good teacher and takes great pains with his pupils. 他是位好教师,尽心尽力教育学生。
