单词 | born(borne) |
释义 | born : borne — 169 1. 作“生(孩子)”讲,两者在用法上不全一样:前者只能用于没有用由 by 引导的短语的被动语态,而且又可以用于一般过去时态——即使本人还活着,也不例外;后者则多半用于主动的完成时态或用有由 by 引导的短语的被动语态(注:两者都是动词 bear 的过去分词形式)。 例如: The author was born in 1900 and died in 1974. 作者生于 1900 年,死于 1974 年。 Another child was born to her. 她又生了一个孩子。 Bessie has borne two children since marriage. 打结婚起,贝茜已生了两个孩子了。 This is one of the two girls borne by his stepmother. 这就是他后娘生的两个女孩中的一个。 2. 作其它解释,只能使用后者,不用前者;而且,多半要用于被动语态或用于反身结构。 例如: We were borne backward by the crowd. 我们被大伙儿挤到后面去了。 Facts were borne out. 事实昭彰。 The four foundamental principles must be borne. 四项基本原则必须牢记。 The sound of music was borne on the wind. 乐声随风飘荡。 All the cost of the repairs will be borne by our company. 一切修理费用全归我公司负担。 You have borne yourself bravely in the battle. 这次战役你表现得很勇敢。 |
