plays词语用法

plays例句

plays常见错误

plays搭配

v.(动词)play的基本意思是指为了消遣和娱乐而进行身体的或精神的活动,即“玩,玩耍”,也可指与某人进行一场比赛,即“参加比赛”。play还可指“演奏乐器”。引申可指“开某人的玩笑”“扮演”“播放”“(泉水等)喷出”等意思。play可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时接表示球或乐器等名词、代词或that从句作宾语。有时还可接双宾语,其间接宾语可转化成介词to或for的宾语,还可接由“(as+) n./adj. ”充当补足语的复合宾语。可用于被动结构。play还可用作系动词,后接形容词或名词作表语。当play后接名词用于演出中作“扮演”解时,一般析为及物动词; 作“假装…玩”解时,常析为系动词。play作“玩,玩耍”解时一般用于儿童,而很少用于成年人。当play作“演奏”解时,不用于打击乐器(如锣、鼓等)。play后接表示球类或牌等名词时,其前不加冠词the; 而接乐器时则必须加冠词the,在美式英语中the有时也可以省略。当play用于一般现在时时,宾语前不加冠词,表示经常或定期进行某项娱乐或活动。play的进行体可表示按计划或安排即将发生的动作,此时句中一般伴有表示将来时间的状语或特定的上下文。在非正式书面语体中, play有时能以表示乐器的名词作主语,作“演奏”解,其主动形式含有被动意义。 n.(名词)play用作名词时意思是“游戏,玩耍”,指儿童用以玩乐而进行的各项活动。play也可指各种体育项目,即“比赛,竞赛,运动”,既可表示一次具体的“比赛”,也可表示在比赛中的“表现或作风”或“比赛中的动作或技巧”。play还可指“戏剧,剧本”。play引申可指“活动,作用,相互的影响”“活动的范围或余地”“闪动,浮动”“赌博”“机会”等。play通常用作不可数名词,但在作“比赛的动作或技巧”解时可用作可数名词,一般其前都有一个形容词修饰。play作“戏剧,剧本”解时可用作可数名词。 用作动词(v.)
