词语用法

v. (动词)

1. buy的基本意思是用金钱换取等价物,即“购买”,是普通用词,可接具体物品如书籍、衣物等作宾语。buy也可表示“付出…以换取…”,这时可接健康、幸福、名声、忠诚等抽象名词作宾语。buy引申还可指“收买,贿赂”“相信(即买…的账)”。
2. buy在句中主要用作及物动词,偶尔用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时,后接名词或代词作宾语,有时还可接双宾语,其间接宾语可转化为介词for的宾语。可用于被动结构。
3. buy的主语一般是人,也可以是无生命的事物。
4. 表示“在某商店买”可接介词at; 表示“从某处买”可接介词from, of, off; 表示“花多少钱买”可接介词for, at；表示“给某人买”可说buy sb sth，也可说buy sth for sb，不能说buy sth to sb。
5. buy是非延续性动词，不可与表示时间段的状语连用，但可与表示时间点的状语连用。

n. (名词)

1. buy作名词时的意思有二:一是“买卖”,指用于商品交换间的交易; 二是“便宜货”,指价格上略低的货物。
2. buy是可数名词,其复数为buys。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

buy sb sth, buy sth for sb

• buy接双宾语时可采用上面这两种语序,但并非任何情况下都可以互换。当直接宾语是名词时,这两种语序均可使用,但直接宾语是代词时,只能用buy sth for sb。例如:
• 他给我买了它。
• ［误］ He bought me it.
• ［正］ He bought it for me.

buy, afford

• afford和buy都有“买”的意思,但afford侧重“有无经济能力买”,而buy则侧重“购买的行为”,表示“我买不起”可以说I can't afford,但不可说I can't buy.因为后者的意思是“即使有钱也不准买”。另外, buy常可用在afford后作宾语。

buy, purchase

• 这两个词的共同意思是“买”。其区别是：
• buy是普通用词,通常用于买菜、买肉、买房子、买珠宝等; purchase是正式用语,表示经过周密计划以后才买,或是由于业务上的需要大规模地购买,所以在许多用purchase的场合都可以用buy,但许多用buy的场合却不一定能用purchase。例如:
• You can buy anything in that store for less than ten dollars.在这家商店里,花上不到10美元你就可以买上任何东西。
• They purchased〔bought〕 a new house.他们买了一栋新房子。

下面三个句子意思相同:

• He bought me a book from one of his colleagues for ￡5.
• He bought me a book of one of his colleagues for ￡5.
• He bought me a book off one of his colleagues for ￡5.
• 他花了5英镑从他一个大学同学那里 给我买了一本书。〖JB)〗

buy，purchase

• 这两个动词均含“购买”之意。
• buy普通日常用词，既可指日常随意购物也可指大的购买。
• purchase正式用词，指大宗购货或购买重要东西。无感情色彩，强调物品的购得。

   误 I have bought the bike for years.
