用法辨析

    n. (名词)

  • act的基本意思是“行为,行动”,指时间较短的具体的“行为”,此行为可以由个人、群体或不具人格的实体来完成,而且不受动机、性质或结果的限制,具有单一性及完满性。act 也可用于和思想或言语相对照的“行动”。
  • act可作议会等通过的“法案”“法令”“条例”解,还可指戏剧的“一幕”,作此二解时首字母常大写。引申可指“一段表演”或“表演者”。在口语中可作“装模作样”解。
  • act是可数名词,多用作单数形式。
  • act常与介词of连用,后接抽象名词。

    • v. (动词)

  • act的基本意思是“行动”,指人或事物对所期待的行为、作用或对外来影响作出反应的方式等。act用作不及物动词,常用于询问行动具体性质的疑问句中和带有状语性修饰语或形容词补足语的陈述句中。
  • act可用作系动词,接名词或形容词作表语,意思是“装成”“显得”。
  • act泛指“演戏”解时是不及物动词,作“扮演(戏剧或影视中某角色)”解时用作及物动词。用作不及物动词时也可以“戏”作主语。
  • act还可作“起作用”“见效”解,用作不及物动词,主语为物。
  • act与action 的区别：act指短暂，简单的动作，而action指持续，复杂的动作。使用act of cruelty,act of kindness,act of madness时（后都是接of和抽象名词）只用act,不用action。cruel act(ion),foolish act(ion)等，均是前面用形容词，更惯于使用action。act比action具体，action比act抽象，如in word and act中word与act均是具体的，in speech and action中，speech与action都属抽象的；
