loaded,laden 这一对词很易引起混淆。 Loaded是动词load的过去式和过去分词,意为装载、装填。例: We loaded the ship with coal. 我们把煤装到船上。 The Australian rice was loaded upon a wagon. 澳洲米装在货车上。 The robber has loaded his gun. 该贼已将子弹装在他的枪上。 Laden是动词lade的过去分词(lade已不再通用),意为负有、充满(heavily loaded,burdened),在句中一般只用作形容词,并常用作比喻意。例: My mind is laden with grief. 我的心非常悲伤。 That robber is laden with guilt. 那个强盗恶贯满盈。 The company is laden with debt. 该公司肩负重债。 值得注意的是,loaded和laden虽然来自两个不同的动词,但载满时却可互换使用。例如: The tree is loaded (or laden)with fruit(树上结满了果子) The ship was loaded(or laden)with cotton.(船上装满了棉花) 在下面有比喻义的句子中,只能用laden,不能用loaded: The town is filled with smoke-laden air. |
