单词 | word |
释义 | word n.词,单词,字〖同〗term;言语,话〖同〗statement,utterance;消息,传说〖同〗message,news;诺言,保证〖同〗guarantee,pledge 〖题〗They did not say ___ about their plan. A.words B.a word C.word D.the word 〖解〗答案B。句意:他们对计划只字不提。word在这里是“说的内容,话语”,当作一个整体来看待,不用复数。另外,word表示“消息”时,用单数,不加冠词,相当于information,如word about the talented boy关于这个天才孩子的消息;word还有“诺言,保证”的意思,如as good as his word言行一致。 〖题〗You must ___ if you promised to take the children to the cinema. A.keep word B.keep your word C.keep your words D.give your word 〖解〗答案B。keep one's word“守信用”,在这个短语中word必须用单数,前面需用物主代词修饰。其反义词是break one's word go back on one's word“失信,不守信用”。give one's word“保证,担保”。 〖词组〗in a word 总而言之;in other words 换言之;keep one's words 守信用;word for word 逐字地 |
