感官动词用法

admin

感官动词在英语中有着广泛应用,它们作为连系动词时,如look, sound, smell, taste, feel,后接形容词来描述主语的状态,比如:

These flowers smell very sweet, and the tomatoes feel very soft. 这些感官动词通常用于描述物的状态,而非人。

它们还可以与介词like构成短语,如Her idea sounds like fun, 表示事物的特性或感觉。

作为实义动词,感官动词可以是及物或不及物。例如,She smelt the meat and I felt in my pocket for cigarettes. 这时,taste和smell可以与"of"搭配,如The air smells of earth.

感官动词也可以用作名词,如May I have a taste of the mooncakes? 或者形容某人的品味和风格,如She dresses in poor taste.

此外,look, sound, feel还能与"as if"结合,如It looks as if our class is going to win, 表示某种主观判断或观察。

在动词形式上,感官动词如see, watch等与do或doing的搭配有所不同。see, watch, observe等动词与do强调动作的完整性,如I saw him work in the garden yesterday,而与doing则表示动作的进行性,如I saw him working
