promise的詳細講解：
詞語用法
v. (動詞)
- promise作“允諾”“答應”解時,是指作出口頭或書面的許諾,答應別人自己去做某事,但僅指主觀意愿,并不一定能實現或有實現的基礎。
- promise用作及物動詞,其后可接名詞、代詞、動詞不定式或that從句作賓語,也可接由名詞、動詞不定式、that從句充當直接賓語的雙賓語,其間接賓語可以轉換為介詞to的賓語。
- promise也可作“有可能”“給人以…指望”解,可用作不及物動詞,也可用作及物動詞; 用作及物動詞時接名詞或代詞作賓語。
- promise作名詞的基本意思是“承諾,諾言”,是可數名詞; promise也可作“希望,出息”解,可用來指人的出息,也可用來指事情有希望,是不可數名詞。
- promise有時可接動詞不定式或that引導的從句來充當定語或同位語。
詞義辨析
v. (動詞)
- promise, allow
-
- 這兩個詞都可譯為“答應”,其區別是：
- allow含義是“允許”,而promise含義是“應承”。例如：
- He has allowed me to come.
- 他允許我來。
- He promised me to come.
- 他答應我他會來。
- promise, consent
-
- 這兩個詞都有“答應”的意思。其區別是：
- promise是“自己主動答應”這一概念,含有自覺主動的意味; 而consent則是“答應人家的要求”,含有被動的意味。試比較:
- Our director has promised to make a speech.
- 我們的主任已答應作個報告。
- (是他主動答應的)
- We asked our director to make a speech and he consented.
- 我們要求主任作個報告,他答應了。
- (是我們要求的)
- promise, contract, covenant, engage, pledge
-
- 這組詞都有“允諾”的意思。其區別是：
- promise指作出口頭或書面的許諾,但僅指主觀意愿,并不暗示一定能實現或有實現的基礎; engage指在正式或重大場合用誓言、條約等許下有約束力的諾言或作出可以信賴的保證,尤指訂婚; pledge指用行動或言語作出莊嚴的許諾或正式保證; covenant指訂立雙方或多方共同遵守的協議; contract指訂立慎重并且通常有法律效力的合同或協議。例如:
- Our son is engaged to a nice young girl.我們的兒子已跟一位漂亮的女孩訂了婚。
- I covenant to pay 5000 pounds a year to help rebuild the college.我立約保證每年將付5000英鎊幫助重建學院。
- They have pledged that any detail given to them will remain confidential.他們已保證,給他們提供的任何細節將予以保密。
- Many councils are contracting out services such as rubbish collection to private companies as a way of cutting costs.許多市政會把垃圾收集這樣的服務項目包給私人公司以減少費用。
- promise, keep one's word
-
- 這兩者均含有“許諾”之意。其區別是：
- promise指“許諾”,只指意圖,而不指義務,只指美好的愿望,不指壞的意圖; keep one's word則指作出promise后遵守自己的諾言。例如:
- He promised to come and see me today, but he failed to keep his word.他答應今天來看我,但他沒能守約。
- I'll keep my word;I'll tell him everything.我將遵守諾言,把一切告訴他。
- promise, permit
-
- 這兩個詞的共同意思是“允許”。其區別是：
- permit通常含有積極地、正面地“允許”的意義,例如通過法令或正式條文“允許”某件事; promise 作“答應”解時,含有“保證”之意,指答應或保證自己要做某一件事。例如:
- He has promised a thorough investigation into the affair.他已經答應徹底查辦此事。
- 下面三句意思相同：
-
- They promised me an immediate answer.
- They promised me to give an immediate answer.
- They promised me that they would give an immediate answer.
- 他們答應我立即作出答復。
常見錯誤
v. (動詞)
-
看來這是一項困難的任務。
誤 It promised difficult job.
正 It promised to be a difficult job.
析 表示“有希望,有可能”, promise后接不定式時常限于to be...。
-
她有希望成為鋼琴家。
誤 She shows great promises as a pianist.
正 She shows great promise as a pianist.
析 promise作“希望”“前途”解時是不可數名詞,后面不應該加s。
她答應幫助我。誤 She gave me the promise of helping me.
正 She gave me the promise to help me.
析 表示“答應某人做某事”可說give sb a promise to- v ,在promise后須用動詞不定式,不能用“of+動名詞”結構。
詞源解說
- ☆ 1400年左右進入英語，直接源自拉丁語的promissum：pro (以前） + mittere (放，送），意為誓言。
