1. dress ［误］My father bought a new dress for himself yesterday. ［正］My father bought a new suit for himself yesterday. ［析］一般来讲男套装用suit, 女服则用dress; 作男服的服装店是tailor shop (tailors), 而做女装的服装店是dressmakers. ［误］The mother dressed the clothes on her child. ［正］The mother dressed her child. ［析］dress作及物动词当穿衣服讲时，其后不能接衣服而只能接人，如：The boy is still too young to dress himself. 但作为一种穿着打扮的状态时，则多用其过去分词作形容词，如：He is not dressed in his new suit.或She is dressed in red. 词组dress up是过节日时应服装整齐，如：They dressed up for the holiday. dress, have on, put on, wear 要区别这几个动词需分清是表示动作的动词还是表示状态的动词。表示状态的动词是have on和wear, 如：He has on a white coat. He was wearing heavy shoes. 而put on则表示穿衣的动作，如：Put on your coat, it is cold outside.而dress既可以作状态又可以作动作，作动作讲时其后面接人而不能接衣服，作穿着状态时则多用dressed的形式。如：I saw a lady dressed in red. I saw a girl dressing herself. |
