词语用法

1. admire后接名词，不能接that从句。

   I admire his learning.
   句子最好别换成I admire that he is learned，因不自然。

2. 下面的两种表达方式均可：

   I admire his learning.
   I admire him for his learning.

v. (动词)

1. admire的基本意思是表示主语(人)对某人、物或事物的尊重或喜爱的感情,即“赞美、赞赏、称赞”; 也可表示承认其优越性和超人之处,即“钦佩”。口语中有时含有“奉承”的味道,也可用作反语,表示一种讥讽的口气,在古语中还可表示“惊奇,难以想象”。
2. admire语气较强,多用于一般时态,可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时后接名词、代词或动名词作宾语,有时还可接以as短语充当补足语的复合宾语。在表示“钦佩某人的…”时常用admire for v -ing结构。
3. 在美式英语或英国一些方言中admire可以接动词不定式作宾语,但不表示“钦佩”“赞赏”,而表示“高兴做某事”,相当于like, wish。
4. admire还可用作不及物动词,这时通常接at短语,可表示“对…感到钦佩”。
5. admire的语气较强,通常含有“赞赏不已”“竭力赞赏”“惊羡”的意味。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

admire, envy

• 这两个词都可译为“羡慕”,但含义并不相同：envy不仅含有“羡慕别人所拥有的东西或品质”的意思,而且进一步有“我也要拥有”的含义。例如：
• 真羡慕你!我多希望能有那么一头卷发!
• ［误］ How I admire you!I wish I could make my hair curl like that.
• ［正］ How I envy you! I wish I could make my hair curl like that.
• 本句所羡慕的只是那一头卷发,并不见得钦佩那个有一头卷发的人,而且明确表示“希望能有”,故用envy。

admire, praise

• 这两个词都是“称赞”“夸奖”的意思,且都可用于admire sb for sth 句型。其差别在于：praise是普通用语,而admire带有感叹意味。另外, praise可用于上级对下级的称赞,而admire则多用于平等者。

admire，honour，respect，regard，esteem

• 这些动词均含“尊重、钦佩”之意。
• admire侧重指对某人或某物的仰慕、钦佩，并含欣赏爱慕之情。
• honour侧重指对某人或某物表示极大的敬意。
• respect指对人的行为、品德、才华或成就等的仰慕尊重。尤指对年长或地位高的人的尊敬。
• regard最正式用词，中性，含义不很明确，一般需用修饰语加强或明确其意。
• esteem除表示尊敬之外，还暗示由此而产生的称赞。

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 我们对他的勇敢非常佩服。

   误 We admired that he was courageous.

   正 We admired him for his courage.

   析 admire后不可接that从句作宾语。

2. 她为他的诗而称赞他。

   误 She admired him his poems.

   正 She admired his poems.

   正 She admired him for his poems.

   析 admire不能接双宾语。

3. 他们都赞赏他那样做。

   误 They all admired him behaving in that manner.

   误 They all admired him to be behaving in that manner.

   正 They all admired his behaving in that manner.

   析 admire可以动名词作宾语,其逻辑主体要用物主代词或名词的所属格表示。

4. 她非常钦佩他的学识。

   误 She admired his learning much.

   正 She much admired his learning.

   正 She admired his learning very much.

   析 当much单独修饰admire时,应放在其前而不可放在其后,用very much修饰admire时,则既可放在其前,也可放在句末。
