高考临近,小编为大家准备了些高考短语及其用法和搭配,希望大家能从中获益!
请看下面一题:(from www.nmet168.cn)
The operation was successful, but I still felt _________.
A. very painful B. much painful C. a lot of pain D. very paining
此题容易误选A,想当然地认为:pain 表示“痛”,其形容词painful自然表示表示“感到疼痛的”。
其实 painful 的意思并不是“感到疼痛的”,而是表示“使人感到疼痛的”、“使人感到痛苦的”,所以它通常用于说明事物,而不宜用于说明人。比较并体会:
他仍很痛苦。
正:He is still in pain.
误:He’s still painful.
你感到痛吗?
正:Do you feel any pain?
误:Are you painful?
见到你这样生活我很痛心。
正:I am pained to see you living this way.
误:I am painful to see you living this way.
听到他的死讯,我们都很痛苦。
误:We were all painful to hear of his death.
正:We were all pained to hear of his death.
他眼睛痛。
正:He has painful eyes.
误:He’s painful in the eyes.
