有些不及物動詞可變成及物動詞, 此時其後以其同系名詞作受詞; 所謂同系名詞乃指其詞源和意義與動詞相同的名詞, 其形態與動詞一樣, 但有時稍有改變。此類用法常見如下:
|
die (死)
dream (作夢)
laugh (笑)
live (過活)
sigh (嘆氣)
sleep (睡覺)
smile (微笑) |
→ death (死)
→ dream (夢)
→ laugh (笑)
→ life (生活)
→ sigh (嘆氣)
→ sleep (睡眠)
→ smile (微笑) |
＊dream作不及物動詞時, 與介詞of並用。
例: The victims of the plane crash died a terrible death.
(那次空難的罹難者死得很慘。)
I dreamed of my deceased grandfather last night.
(我昨晚夢到我已過世的祖父。)
＊deceased a. 死 (亡) 的, 已故的
