用法辨析

    n. (名词)

  • couple的基本意思是“一对,一双”,指在一起或互有关系的两个人或物,但并不一定是同样的,其关系可分可合,是可数名词,常与of连用。
  • couple作“夫妻”解是可数名词,其谓语动词可用单数,也可用复数形式。
  • couple在非正式语体中还可作“一些,几个”解,用作单数名词,常与of连用。接复数名词作主语时,谓语动词侧重整体用单数形式,侧重个体用复数形式。

    • v. (动词)

  • couple用作名词时意思是“一对”,转化成动词则主要表示“连接,结合”,指人为地把两个有关的人或东西连接在一起。
  • couple用作及物动词时接名词或代词作宾语,可用于被动结构。couple偶尔也可用作不及物动词,宾语后面可接介词with或to,表示“结合在一起”。
