用法辨析

    n. (名词)

  • rock作“礁石”“巨石”解时,是可数名词,常用作复数形式; 作“岩,岩层”“摇摆舞,摇滚乐”解时,是不可数名词。
  • rock还可作“小石头”解,主要用于美式英语中,是不可数名词。

    • v. (动词)

  • rock的基本意思是“(使)来回摆动”,指物体在外力作用下来回摇摆,多指猛烈摇动将其高高抬起,并常含有塌落危险的意味。引申可表示为“使震惊”“使受震动”等。
  • rock既可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时,接名词、代词作宾语; 用作不及物动词时,常与介词连用。
  • rock是物质名词，表示“石”。在英式英语中a rock指“一块岩石”或者“一块大石头”，约有一百斤重，不指那种三两重的小石头。不过，在美式英语中，a rock也可以指“一块小石头”的意思。
