remain的六條重要用法

推薦人: 來源: 閱讀: 2.32W 次

  1. 表示“剩下”“留下”“尚需”等,均爲不及物動詞,因此不能跟有賓語,也沒有被動語態,並且一般不用於進行時態。如:

padding-bottom: 75%;">remain的六條重要用法

地震之後,沒剩幾座房子。

誤:Few houses were remaining after the earthquake.

誤:Few houses were remained after the earthquake.

正:Few houses remained after the earthquake.

Today only a few stones remain of the castle. 今天這座城堡只剩下幾塊石頭。(=Today only a few stones of the castle remain.)

  2. 由於是不及物動詞,所以用於名詞前作定語時,不能用過去分詞,而應用現在分詞(相當於形容詞)。如:

The remaining students will serve as audience. 剩下的學生將充作聽衆。

比較:You may have all those that remain. 剩下所有的都歸你。

He drank up the water that remained in the jug. 他把瓶裏剩下的水喝完了。

  3. 由於是不及物動詞,所以類似下面句子中的that從句不是賓語從句,而是修飾其前the fact的同位語從句。如:

The fact remains that she was lying. 事實是,她說的是假話。

類似地,下面一句中的of the castle不是與remain搭配,而是與其前的a few stones搭配:

  4. 其後可接不定式,根據意思的需要選用主動或被動。如:

Nobody remained to help him. 沒有人留下來幫助他。

Much remains to be done. 要做的事情還很多。

Whether it will do us harm remains to be seen. 是否對我們有害還要看一看。

  5. 與 there 連用,構成類似於 there be 之類的句型。如:

There remained in the village only women and children. 村裏只剩下婦女和兒童。

There remained just a little food. /There’s just a little food left. 只剩下一點點食品了。

  6. 用作連繫動詞,意爲“(繼續)保持”“仍處於(某種狀態),其後可接名詞、形容詞、分詞、介詞短語等。如:

He remains poor [a poor man]. 他仍然很窮。

She remained sitting [seated]. 她一直坐着。

There she remained under the care of Aunt Liu. 在那裏她 一直受到劉大娘的照顧。
