重点讲解
一.behave:v.表现, 行为, 举止
【语法用法】
behave和behave oneself表示“举止合度”,“守规矩”,多用于指儿童。
You must behave yourself.
你必须要表现得像你自己。
behaved是不及物动词的过去分词,可作形容词。
He is now better behaved.
他现在表达好多了。
【错句举例与错句分析】
错句: He behaved himself strangely last night.
订正: He behaved strangely last night.
翻译: 昨晚他的举止很奇怪。
分析: behave oneself意为“举止检点,守规矩”,此处与状语strangely(怪异)意思上冲突。
【例句用法】

培养儿童用餐时举止得体是很困难的。
