英语的实词不但多义，而且同一词还可以属一种以上的词类。此外，从一种词类又可以转化为另一种词类，其中以⒈名词转化为动词、⒉动词转化为名词以及⒊形容词转化为动词，这三种最为普遍、最为生动。转化后的词具有该词基本的特性，因此转化名词有如真正名词，转化动词就像真正动词。 ⒈名词动词 ① The workers found Bobs attitude hard to stomach. ② The parachutist had to nerve himself for the jump from his helicopter. ③ A few poor children had been dogging the tourists for some time. ④ Tuition schools have mushroomed for the last two years. ⑤ The traitor was knifed and stoned to death. ⑥ I leafed through a few pages of the book to see what it was about. ⑦ Personality clashes surfaced among some rival leaders. ⑧ Tom elbowed his way through the crowd. ⑨ It is impolite to ape ones superiors. ⑩ Delicious food made our mouths water. ⒉动词名词 ① The innocent girl was having a good cry. ② Active people are always on the go. ③ I often have a quiet read before going to bed. ④ People from all walks of life condemned a bad government. |
