用法辨析
- regret的基本意思是“懊悔,惋惜,遺憾”,指對(duì)于已經(jīng)發(fā)生或不愿發(fā)生但又不得不發(fā)生的事情在心里產(chǎn)生一種傷感或抱歉,但已經(jīng)沒有挽回的余地。引申還可指“抱歉”。
- regret既可用作不及物動(dòng)詞,也可用作及物動(dòng)詞。用作及物動(dòng)詞時(shí),后接名詞、代詞、動(dòng)名詞或that/wh-從句作賓語?？捎糜诒粍?dòng)結(jié)構(gòu)。
- regret后接名詞,表示對(duì)某事后悔; 后接動(dòng)詞不定式表示因?qū)⒁瞿呈露械奖富虿豢? 后接動(dòng)名詞表示因做了某事而感到后悔; 后接從句表示對(duì)某事感到遺憾。
- regret后接動(dòng)詞不定式的完成體也可表示對(duì)已發(fā)生之事感到遺憾、后悔,但不如接動(dòng)名詞常見。
- regret用作名詞時(shí)意思是“懊悔,遺憾”,指對(duì)失落物的悲傷、惋惜,也指對(duì)已做過或沒有成功的事表示懊悔或不愉快,也可指對(duì)自己無能為力做某事感到懊悔,常用作不可數(shù)名詞。regret還可指“痛惜”“失望”“悔恨”“辭謝帖”等。
- regret在表達(dá)一般的歉意時(shí)要用單數(shù)形式,由于謝絕而表示的歉意,則要用其復(fù)數(shù)形式或加much這個(gè)形容詞。另外, regret在表示“辭謝帖”時(shí)多用復(fù)數(shù)形式。
- regret前可用much, little, no等修飾,表示遺憾的程度。
- 用于“報(bào)告不開心的事”的表達(dá)方式有I regret that，I regret to say that，I regret to have to announce that等，語氣的輕重不同。I regret to tell you that my brother died yesterday afternoon. 我很遺憾地告訴你，我哥哥昨天下午去世了。
- 表示“因……而感覺悲哀或不開心”時(shí)，常在regret后接不定式。I regret to hear of your sister's death. 我為你妹妹的死而感到悲哀。
