break的詳細講解:

詞語用法

v. (動詞)
  1. break是一個常用詞,基本意思是突然地施加一個力(壓力或拉力等)使之“破”或“碎”(從一個裂紋到七零八落)。引申可指事物部分地或全部破壞、瓦解、崩潰。
  2. break有時只表示“沖破”“開創”等過程意義,但更多的是強調了其破壞的物或事物的完整性、統一性或連續性。
  3. break用作不及物動詞時,可表示物體“破”,用于人,則可指身體或精神“垮”“崩潰”。
  4. break用作及物動詞時,除作“弄斷”“弄碎”等解,還可作“透露”解(主要是美國口語),與agreement, promise, law, regulation, rule, vow, word等詞搭配時,還可作“違背,違犯”解??山雍唵钨e語,也可接以形容詞或介詞短語充當補足語的復合賓語。
  5. break用作不及物動詞時,主動形式可表示被動意義,其主語通常是表示無生命的東西。
  6. break后還可接形容詞作表語。
n. (名詞)
  1. break用作名詞的基本意思是“裂口,裂縫; 破裂”,用于時間可表示“間歇,休息時間”,也可指舊方式或生活習慣的“改變”或“中斷”,是可數名詞。
  2. break作“休息”解時是不可數名詞,用作單數形式需加不定冠詞。
  3. break在口語中有時作“機會”解,美國俚語中還作“運氣”解,是可數名詞。
  4. break還可表示“奔跑,試圖逃跑”。
  5. break作“天亮,拂曉”解時是不可數名詞。
  1. 表示“扯破(衣服)”時,不可用break,tear更加適合;
  2. 句意相同的三種不同表達:

    You ought to break this habit.
    你應該打破這個習慣。

  3. brake同break的區別:brake可指“剎車,制動器”,“蕨類”,“灌木叢”或“揉面機”等。表示檢查器械時,現在一般都用brake,多用于摩托車或四輪馬車上。而break則多用于指“斷裂”;
  4. break來表示“把某物弄碎”時,后面需要接介詞into來表示結果。

詞義辨析

v. (動詞)
break off, break out of, break up, break with
  • 這組短語容易混淆,應注意區分:break off作“暫停,中斷”解,指人突然終止某種正在進行的活動或已形成的關系,如談話、婚約等; break out of意為“脫離,逃脫”,指人或物從很危險的、被禁錮的狀態中逃脫出來或從俗套中脫穎而出; break up表示“分開,解除”,指使某種相對完整的東西自身解體,還可專指“放假,放學”等; break with作“終止,斷絕”講,常專指人結束自己與他人的友誼、關系,還可指放棄、革除舊習慣等。
  • break, demolish, destroy, ruin
  • 這組詞都含有“破壞”“毀壞”“消滅”的意思。其區別在于:
  • 1.destroy和ruin這兩個詞所表示的“毀壞”都含有“徹底”的意味,有時可互換。destroy強調“徹底性”; ruin強調不可修復。例如:
  • The rain has ruined〔destroyed〕 the crops.這雨把莊稼全毀了。
  • 2.break, destroy和demolish的主語可以是人,也可以是事物; 而ruin的主語多為天災人禍等無形的力量。例如:
  • The windshield broke but did not shatter.擋風玻璃裂了,但沒有碎。
  • All the intruders were destroyed.所有的入侵者都被殲滅了。
  • That street was demolished a few years ago.那條街于幾年前拆除了。
  • She has a very real grievance against the hospital since the operation which ruined her health.自從她做過手術后,健康狀況變壞,所以她確實對醫院有怨言。
  • 3.break的賓語可以是有形物,也可以是非物質性的事物; destroy和demolish用于具體事物可指“高樓大廈”等; 用于抽象事物時destroy指“名譽”“聲望”等, demolish則指某人的論點、論據等。ruin的賓語則多是美好珍貴的事物。例如:
  • His mother's heart will break if he leaves her.如果他離開母親,她的心會碎的。
  • All his hopes were now destroyed.他的一切希望現在都破滅了。
  • We have demolished all her arguments and she has nothing more to say.我們推翻了她所有的論點,她無言以對。
  • The manuscript was ruined by long exposure in the cold damp cellar.手稿在地下室因長期受陰冷潮濕的破壞而無法辨認了。
  • 4.break可用作及物動詞,也可用作不及物動詞; destroy和demolish只用作及物動詞; 而ruin多用作及物動詞,偶爾可用作不及物動詞。例如:
  • She broke a vase uncarefully.她不小心打破了一只花瓶。
  • The cup broke when it fell on the floor.茶杯掉到地上摔破了。
  • The mad dog ought to be destroyed.這只瘋狗應該殺死。
  • They are going to demolish that old factory.他們準備拆毀那家舊工廠。
  • I was ruined by that law case; I'm a ruined man!我被那場官司搞垮了,現在已經傾家蕩產!

  • The workmen took a break so we enjoyed a brief respite from the noises.工人們休息了一下,所以我們能享受片刻的安寧。
  • Government sources said there would be no prolonged pause in the war.據官方消息,這場戰爭的時間不會長。

    v. (動詞)
      他在回家的路上摔了一跤,左腿摔斷了。

      He had a fall on his way home and his leg was broken.

      He had a fall on his way home and broke his left leg.

      break作“摔壞,跌傷”解時,除非特殊修辭需要,一般不用被動結構。

      昨天晚上他家被盜,很多東西都丟了。

      His house broke into last night and a lot of things were stolen.

      His house was broken into last night and a lot of things were stolen.

    n. (名詞)
      咱們休息一會吧。

      Let's take break.

      Let's take a break.

      break作“中間休息”解是可數名詞,其前的a不可省略。
