词义辨析

v. (动词)

feed off, feed on

• 这两个短语在表示“以…为食”时意义相同,可换用。其区别是：
• feed off中的feed只用作不及物动词,表示进食者“从…中取食”; 而在feed on中feed可用作及物动词,表示“以…喂…”, feed的宾语是受食者, on的宾语是食物。

feed, eat

• 这两个动词都有“进食”的意思。其区别在于:
• 1.用作及物动词时, eat的主语多为人,偶尔可为动物(拟人化),宾语为食物; feed的主语一定为人,宾语为动物或者是老弱病残者。例如:
• We ate much the same thing for breakfast every day.每天早餐我们总是吃这些同样的东西。
• The nurse is feeding the patient by means of a spoon.护士在用汤匙给病人喂饭。
• 2.用作不及物动词时, eat的主语可为人,也可为食物(这时主语含有被动意义); feed的主语则为动物。例如:
• This kind of mushroom is eaten cooked.这种蘑菇是炒熟了吃的。
• The horses were feeding quietly in the field.马群在田野里悄悄地吃着东西。
• 3.eat只接简单宾语, feed除接简单宾语外,还可接双宾语,而eat不能接双宾语。例如:
• You may feed them anything you like.你喜欢喂它们什么就喂什么。

feed on, leave on

• 参见leave条。

feed, graze, nourish, pasture

• 这组词都可表示“给…东西吃”。其区别是：
• feed指给人以饮食或给动物以饲料,也可指供给植物养料或给机器加燃料等,含义最广; nourish指施以健康、生长必需的养料。例如:
• They needed good food to nourish their bodies.他们需要好食品滋养身体。
• graze指用正在生长的青草饲养牲口。pasture指饲养动物,尤指家畜。例如:
• The old man was pasturing his sheep on the village common.老人在村庄的公地上放羊。
• The boy got up very early every morning to pasture cattle.这男孩每天起得很早去放牛。

下面三句意思相同,第一句中的to不可改为for。

• They fed erroneous information to us.
• They fed us erroneous information.
• They fed us with erroneous information.
• 他们给我们提供了错误消息。

n. (名词)

feed, fodder

• 这两个词都可指“饲料”。其区别是：
• feed是一般用语,泛指禽兽所食用的饲料; 而fodder常指喂牛、马、猪、羊等的粗饲料或干饲料,如苜蓿、干草等。例如:
• The stalks and leaves of corn are fodder.玉米的茎秆和叶子都是粗饲料。

nourish，feed，graze

• 这些动词均含“提供所需食物、喂养”之意。
• nourish指提供生长、健康或维持生存所必需的食物或养料，尤指用营养品促进生长。
• feed普通用词，含义广泛，既可指给人或动物提供食物，又可指给植物以养料或为机器等加燃料等。
• graze侧重指用正在生长的青草喂养牲畜。

raise，keep，support，feed

• 这四个词都有“抚养”、“养家”、“赡养”的意思，但也有区别。
• raise意为“抚养（指人）；饲养（指动物或禽畜）”之意。
• keep表示“养活（指人）；饲养（指动物或禽畜）”。
• support意为“养活”，不用于饲养动物。
• feed意为“喂养；饲养；以......为食”。

常见错误

v. (动词)
