重点讲解
一.act:n. 行为,行动,法案,(戏剧、歌剧等的)一幕,假装 v. 行动,举止,假装,表演,扮演,充当,有效果
【词义辨析】
1.act, action, deed, operation, performance,
act: 一般指具体的、短暂的或个别的行为,强调行为的完成及其效果。
action: 普通用词,着重行动的过程。
deed: 较庄重用词,除泛指各种行为外,还可用于指某种高尚或伟大的行为,故常译作“功绩,业绩”。
operation: 多指一连串行动或行为的完成方式。
performance: 主要指行动的方式方法。
2.law, constitution, regulation, code, rule, act,
law: 普通用词,泛指由最高当局所制订、立法机构所通过的任何成文或不成文的法规或条例。
constitution: 指治理国家或国家在处理内外政务时所遵循的基本法律和原则;也指规章规则的汇集。
regulation: 普通用词,指用于管理、指导或控制某系统或组织的规则、规定或原则等。
code: 指某一阶层或社会所遵守的一整套法典、法规或法则;也可指与某一特殊活动或主题有关的规则。
rule: 通常指机关、团体的规章、条例或比赛规则;也指对人行为、方法等所作的规定,还可指习俗所承认的规定。
act: 指经立法机构通过并由行政管理签署的法案。
【词语用法】
1.act与action 的区别:
act指短暂,简单的动作,而action指持续,复杂的动作。
使用act of cruelty,act of kindness,act of madness时(后都是接of和抽象名词)只用act,不用action。
cruel act(ion),foolish act(ion)等,均是前面用形容词,更惯于使用action。
act比action具体,action比act抽象,如in word and act中word与act均是具体的,in speech and action中,speech与action都属抽象的;
2.act the hero (装出英雄气概),act the child (做出儿童模样)等表达方式里多用the,而不用a;
3.当着重点在那个人当时的情况时,act后多使用形容词,而不是副词,例如下句中用natural而不用naturally:
At first he was a little shy in class, but now he acts more natural.
4.有时act +形容词意为“假装得…似的”。
Even elephants have been known to act dead.
【例句用法】
1.Think well before you act.
要三思而后行。
2.Parliament has passed an Act forbidding the killing of rare animals.
国会通过了一项法令,禁止捕杀珍稀动物。
二.concern:n. 关心,关心的事,忧虑 vt. 涉及,影响,关心 n. 公司,企业
【词语用法】
1.so far as ... is/are concerned,as far as ... is/are concerned,so far as concerns和as concerns都是“就...而言”的意思。注意后两种表达中concerns用复数不用单数;
2.concern to后加不同动词有不同目的。
He was concerned to hear of her ill health.
to hear表示原因
He was concerned to improve her health.
to improve表示目的
3.concern后加不同介词时,表示不同意思。
He was concerned about the matter.
他为了这件事关心或担心。
He was concerned in the matter.
他参与了这件事。
He was concerned with the matter.
他跟这件事有关。
4.be concerned with常与concern意思相同,concerned with常与concerning意思相同。下面两句子意思一样:
The story is concerned with a national hero.
The story concerns a national hero.
这个故事牵涉到一个民族英雄。
5.concerned等于that is concerned或who are concerned,如everybody concerned (每个有关的人),all concerned (有关各方) 和the department concerned (有关部门)。注意that is不可写出;
6.your concern for me意为“你对于我的关怀”,your concern over me 意为“你对于我的担心”;
7.To whom it may concern或To Whom It May Concern用在不指明收信者是谁的信里,当作称呼语。这种信通常没有Yours,turely等信尾客套语。
【错句举例与错句分析】
错句:We are all concerned with his health.
纠正:We are all concerned for his health.
翻译:我们都很担心他的身体健康。
分析:be concerned with意为“与……有关”,be concerned for/about意为“为……担心”。
【例句用法】
1.This restaurant is a family concern.
这家饭店是由一家人经营的。
2.These problems concern all of us.
这些问题影响到我们每一个人。
3.How much money I earn is none of your concern.
我挣多少钱与你无关。
