词语用法

v. (动词)

1. acquit的基本意思是“宣告…无罪”,是及物动词,以被宣告无罪的人作直接宾语,而被指控的罪名则由短语“of...”或“on...charge”“on the charge of...”表示。可用于被动结构。
2. acquit还可作“使自己履行”解,其宾语由反身代词充当。通常不用于被动结构。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

acquit, behave, conduct, demean

• 这组词都可表示“检点,守规矩”。它们的区别在于:
• behave常通过修饰语表达各种各样的言和行; conduct则强调举止有度,符合要求、意愿等; demean表示“与…相称,得体”,有时有“降低身份”的意思; acquit的宾语常是反身代词,多用于令人赞叹或令人满意的行为举止。
