用法辨析
- boast的基本意思是“升,提”,指說話人在確實(shí)具有夸耀理由的基礎(chǔ)上,對(duì)自己的某一事(如業(yè)績(jī)、成就、學(xué)識(shí)、機(jī)靈、祖先等)有比事實(shí)更大的虛飾,更多的炫耀,有言過其實(shí)的成分,可譯作“夸口”或“吹噓”,但并不一定都有壞的含義。引申表示為“因擁有…而自豪”。
- boast用作不及物動(dòng)詞時(shí),意為“自夸”“自吹自擂”,常接介詞of或about; 用作及物動(dòng)詞時(shí)可跟簡(jiǎn)單賓語,也可跟that從句。接以“(to be)+ n./adj. ”充當(dāng)補(bǔ)足語的復(fù)合賓語時(shí)則表示“自詡是”“自夸是”。
- boast用在進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)中時(shí),并不真正表示“正在吹噓”,而是說他有愛吹噓的壞毛病。
- boast作“自夸的話”解時(shí)有貶義，作“引以為榮的事物”解時(shí)不帶貶義。
- boast后常跟that引導(dǎo)的同位語從句。
