用法辨析
- calm的基本意思是指“平靜的”“不受乾擾的”狀態,主要指大海或天氣,用於人指情緒不是“激動的”。
- calm常與be, become, feel, get, keep, grow, remain等系動詞連用,可用quite, perfectly, comparatively等副詞脩飾,在句中可用作定語或表語。
- calm在口語中還可作“恬不知恥的”解。
- calm用作名詞時,基本意思是“安靜”“甯靜”“鎮靜”“不緊張”,多用於單數形式,不可數。
- calm作“無風時刻”“平靜時刻”解時,是可數名詞,其前常用不定冠詞,也可加上其他形容詞作脩飾語。
- calm的基本意思是“(使)平靜下來”。用於脩飾空間、天氣、海洋等時,指有風有浪到無風無浪平靜狀態的過程; 用於脩飾人時,指人的頭腦由激動狀態(悲傷、情緒不穩或煩惱)到冷靜、鎮靜的過程。用於後者時含有靠其判斷力、意志或信仰而由紊亂狀態恢複到內心的完全“安靜”“安甯”“無騷動”狀態。
- calm可用作不及物動詞,也可用作及物動詞。calm的主語可爲人,也可爲海、風、形勢等,其賓語多爲(反身)代詞,也可爲名詞(如神經、恐懼等)。calm一般不用於被動結搆。
