means的用法與搭配 用作名詞,主要表示“方式”“方法”“手段”等,使用時(shí)注意以下幾點(diǎn): 1. 單復(fù)數(shù)同形(永遠(yuǎn)有詞尾-s)。若用作主語,其謂語的數(shù)需根據(jù)句意來確定。如: One means is still to be tried. 有一種辦法還沒有試行。 All means have been used to get him to change his mind. 為了轉(zhuǎn)變他的想法,所有的辦法都用過了。 有時(shí)用作主語其單復(fù)數(shù)意思不明,則謂語可用單數(shù)或復(fù)數(shù)。如: Is [Are] there any other means of doing it? 做這事還有其他的什么辦法嗎? The end is good, but the means is [are] bad. 結(jié)局是很好,但采取的手段是不好的。 2. 表示做某事的方法,其后通常接“of+(動)名詞”。如: There are several means of transport on the island. 島上有好幾種交通工具。 There is no means of finding out what happened. 無法弄清發(fā)生了什么事情。 Taking a plane is the quickest means of getting there. 去那兒最快的辦法是坐飛機(jī)。 有時(shí)也可后接不定式,但不如接 of doing sth 常見。另外有時(shí)也可后接 for doing sth, 也不如用 of doing sth 常見。 3. 表示以某種方式、方法或手段,通常用介詞 by。如: This money wasn’t earned by honest means. 這筆錢不是通過正當(dāng)手段得來的。 He explained to us the means by which he persuaded her to come. 他給我們說明了他是如何說服她來的。 注意以下與介詞 by 連用的常用詞組: (1) by means of 意為“依靠”“通過”。如: We express our thoughts by means of words. 我們用詞句來表達(dá)思想。 He got into the house by means of an open window. 他從一扇開著的窗戶爬進(jìn)屋去。 (2) by all means 意為“無論如何地”“千方百計(jì)地”。如: This plan must be realized by all means. 這個計(jì)劃必須千方百計(jì)予以實(shí)現(xiàn)。 在口語中可以表示“當(dāng)然可以”。如: A:May I borrow your paper? 我可以借你的報(bào)紙嗎? B:By all means. 當(dāng)然可以。 (3) by no means 意為“絕不”“一點(diǎn)也不”(用于句首,句子要倒裝)。如: I’m by no means happy about his work. 我對他的工作一點(diǎn)也不滿意。 By no means should he be left alone. 絕不能把他單獨(dú)留下。 有時(shí)可說成not by any means。如: A foreign language isn’t by any means easy to master. 要精通外語絕對不是件簡單的事。 |
