用法辨析

v. (動(dòng)詞)

• say的基本含義是指把自己的思想或觀點(diǎn)通過(guò)言語(yǔ)表達(dá)出來(lái),使人明白其意圖,即“說(shuō),講”,著重所說(shuō)話的內(nèi)容,引申還可指“預(yù)告”“說(shuō)明”“表明”“宣稱(chēng)”“背誦”等。
• say還可以作“比方說(shuō),假定說(shuō)”解,是let's say的省略說(shuō)法,用作插入語(yǔ)。
• say可用作及物動(dòng)詞,也可用作不及物動(dòng)詞。用作及物動(dòng)詞時(shí),后可接名詞、代詞、動(dòng)詞不定式、帶疑問(wèn)詞的不定式或that/wh-從句作賓語(yǔ)。也可引出直接引語(yǔ)?？捎糜诒粍?dòng)結(jié)構(gòu)。有時(shí)還可用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)表過(guò)去。
• say引出直接引語(yǔ)時(shí),如果主句是放在引語(yǔ)之前,主句中的主語(yǔ)不管是名詞或是代詞,主謂均不倒裝; 如果主句是放在引語(yǔ)之后或是插在引語(yǔ)之中,主語(yǔ)是代詞時(shí),主謂也不倒裝,主語(yǔ)是名詞時(shí),主謂?？傻寡b。
• “It is/was said that...”結(jié)構(gòu)的意思是“據(jù)說(shuō)”。
• say后有時(shí)可跟替代詞so或not。

n. (名詞)

• say作名詞的意思是“決定權(quán),發(fā)言權(quán)”,指人們對(duì)某一件事或物發(fā)表看法或觀點(diǎn)之權(quán)。常用于單數(shù)形式,也可用作不可數(shù)名詞。用單數(shù)形式時(shí),常與不定冠詞a連用。
• have a say意為“有發(fā)言權(quán)”; have the say意為“有決定權(quán)”; have said one's say意為“利用機(jī)會(huì)表達(dá)自己的意見(jiàn)”。
