在现代英语词汇里，转化词很多。其中的名词转化为动词的趋势更为显著。原因是转化动词很有生气，极富吸引力。必须注意的是，转化动词与原动词的含义，有所不同。例如： ①a. Do you know how to serve the guests?（侍候） b. Do you know how to service this type of machine?（维修） ②a. Who empowered him to announce the news?（授权） b. How to power this dissused machine?（为提供动力） ③a. NUS is situated on a ridge.（位于） b. Where are they going to site the new factory? （定 的地点） ④a. Before he departed, he packed the clothes and other belongings into his trunk.（装进；包好） b. You should know how to package the goods to attract more customers.（包装） 转化动词越来越多，报章杂志里，比比皆是。读书阅报时，要多多留意，尽量吸收。 下面是些信手拈来的常用动词，全都由名词转化而来： ● There is no guarantee against crimes unless every flat and house can be properly policed.（警备） ● The criminal elements would factor into their chances of getting away quickly.（把因素考虑在内） ● The shelling targeted the rivals headquarters.（把作为目标） |
