動詞bear表生育時的語法與用法 ■ bear 表“生育”時,它的過去分詞有兩種形式,即born和borne。兩者的區(qū)別是:強調(diào)“出生”時,用born,主要用于be born這一結(jié)構(gòu);強調(diào)動作意義的“生育”時,用borne。如: She was born in the fifties. 她生于50年代。 His wife has borne (him) three children. 他妻子(給他)生了3個孩子。 在現(xiàn)代英語中,表示“生育”的borne通常不用于被動語態(tài),盡管原來可說He was borne by an English woman. 但現(xiàn)在一般會說成:He was born to an English woman. 他是一個英國婦女生的。 ■ 有人認為,表示“出生”意義的 be born只能用過去式,其實也不一定。如: Everyone is born equal. 人生來是平等的。 A woman is pregnant for nine months before a child is born. 在小孩生出前,婦女要懷孕9個月。 ■ 注意以下各例表示“出生”時后接的介詞: He was born to [of] wealthy parents. 他出身于有錢人家。 He was born into [to, of] a wealthy (noble) family. 他生于富裕人家(名門望族)。 注意,類似以下用法中的介詞to不可換成by: babies who are born to very young mothers 年輕小媽媽生的孩子 Two children were born to them. 他們生了兩個孩子。 He was born to a shoemaker’s wife in a small cottage. 他出生于一所小村舍,母親是鞋匠的妻子。 |
