用法辨析
- declare的基本意思是明确地、清楚地、正式地“宣布,宣告”,多用于官方场合。引申可指“宣称”“断言”“申报”等。
- declare既可用作及物动词,又可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时,其后接名词、代词或that从句作宾语。不接动名词,也不接动词不定式。可用于被动语态。
- declare后可接由to be/as加名词、形容词、副词或介词短语充当补足语的复合宾语。to be/as有时可以省略。
- declare接复合结构时可以用动词不定式或由wh-引起的疑问词从句作宾语,但它们都由it代替,而它们本身则移到补语后面,此时它的补语多为形容词。
- declare作不及物动词时常跟介词against表示“声明反对”,接for表示“宣布支持”。
- I declare在美式英语里可表示有点惊异或不高兴,相当于“Oh my God!”。
