【AEAS考试网】混淆的动词形态
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混淆的动词形态。
从观察所得,动词形态错误的一个原因是不规则动词的混淆所引起的。
这里便举些例子谈谈。
㈠ Hang
这动词有两个主要意思,就是“悬挂”和“吊死”。前者的过去式和过去分词是hung,如:
① Mr Lim hung a newly bought oil painting on the wall.
② Who has hung the dirty clothes on the tree?
Hang当“吊死”时用,它的过去式和过去分词是hanged,如:
③ The prisoner hanged himself in the prison.
④ Drug-traffickers, if arrested, will be hanged.
如果贸贸然用hung代替hanged或以hanged取代hung就会令人莫名其妙,如:
⑤ The murderer was caught and hung.
⑥ How can such a nice painting be hanged in the kitchen?
㈡ Lie
这动词的常见意思是“说谎”和“躺下”。前者的过去式和过去分词是lied;后者的是lay和lain.
若不小心,把两个动词的形式搞乱了,很可能会有这样的错误:
⑦ The puppy lied on the carpet and slept.
⑧ Have you lain to your good friend?
⑦里的应为lay;⑧里的是lied.
提到lay,它也是原动词,意思是“生产”或“摆设”;过去式和过去分词都是laid,如:
⑨ That hen has laid its first egg.
⑩ Mother laid the table for dinner.
㈢ Speed
当“急驰”时,这动词的过去式和过去分词是sped;和up连用当 “加速”解时,则用speeded,如:
The boy ran out of doors and sped down the main road.
The new scheme has speeded up the administrative process.
㈣ Bear
这动词有几个意思,包括“生产”和“出生”,过去形式是bore ,过去分词是born/borne,如:
Pat has borne two lovely children.
Lily was born after Singapore's independence.
Born只用在“出生”这意思上,其余的要用borne,如:
The Government's investments abroad have borne fruit.(结果)
David has borne with the unfriendly criticisms with tremendous courage.(忍受)
