用法辨析
- blame的基本意思是对于不端行为、过失、罪过等的“责备”,有时含斥责挑剔的意味,故也可译为“责怪”“责难”。
- blame可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词。用作及物动词时,可接表示人或事物的名词、代词作宾语。blame通常不接that引导的从句。blame表示被动意义时通常用主动形式,有时也可用被动形式。
- blame用作不及物动词时,可接for表示责怪的原因; 接on则指“把责任推卸给某人”。
- be to blame的意思是“该受惩罚(主动形式含有被动意义)”。这里be to是半助动词,加动词原形blame构成谓语。另外,其主语可以是人,不应是物。
- blame的基本意思是对做错的事或过失应负的责任。也可指对做错事的批评,非难或指责某人。
- blame是不可数名词,没有复数形式。
- blame表示“责备”,不一定是责备的行为,可以是“在心理上责备某人”,而那个人却不知道你在责备他;
- 表示“某人有过失”或“该受责备”时,常用to blame来表达,很少用被动格式to be blamed。 blame it on him表示blame him for it(因……责备某人),该结构比较少见。She is certainly to blame. 她一定有过失。
