用法辨析

    n. (名词)

  • block是可数名词,基本意思是指带有直边由较硬材料构成的长方形的块状物，如木块、石块或其他固体材料,引申则指高大的建筑物,即大厦、大楼等。在美国, block是指四面是马路的一块街区,或街区之间的距离; 在澳大利亚则指闹市或繁华的大马路。
  • block用作单位词,其前可加some等修饰。block修饰不可数名词时,表示复数意义的名词不变,只需将block变为blocks; 修饰可数名词复数时, block和所修饰的名词都须变成复数。
  • block用于比喻,作“障碍,障碍物”解时,是可数名词。泛指“阻塞；堵住”多用单数形式，表示多次或多处阻塞时用复数形式。

    • v. (动词)

  • block的基本意思是“阻挡”,即在路上设置障碍。含有堵得十分严密,以致出入口完全封锁,通道完全受阻的意味。引申可用于抽象事物,指“妨碍”“阻碍”“冻结(资金)”。
  • block可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时,接名词或代词作宾语,不接动词不定式或从句,可用于被动结构,常与一些副词或介词连用,如in, off, up等。
  • 在英国block指高大的房子，即“大厦”或“大楼”；
