词语用法

1. close和shut的比较：两者都表示关闭的意思，大部分情况下可以互换使用。close和shut的过去分词形式都可用作形容词，但shut作形容词时不能修饰名词，可说a closed door而不可用a shut door。两者作动词时，都有“关”的解释，但用close表示这个“关”的动作相对和缓一些，如like flowers closing at night；

   I can't close/shut the window.

2. 动词close的用法相对较为正式。

v. (动词)

1. close的基本意思是“关”,指把处于打开状态的东西关闭起来,表示缓慢渐近的动作,也表示由此产生的结果。其宾语可以是门窗等,也可以是公路、铁路或其他交通渠道等,还可指公共设施或服务行业对外不营业。
2. close也可作“停止”“结束”解,主要用于悬而未决的事或没有做完的事。
3. close可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时,后接名词或代词作宾语，可用于被动结构。用作不及物动词时，主动形式可含有被动意义。
4. close有时还可用作系动词,后接形容词作表语。
5. close可用现在进行时，表示按计划或安排即将发生的事。
6. close的过去分词closed可用作形容词,在句中作表语。

adj. (形容词)

1. close用作表语时的意思是“近的,接近的”,通常指空间距离极小，甚至几乎相接或者时间重合。用作定语时，用于社会关系上指直系亲属、至爱亲朋之间的紧密联系,即“亲密的,密切的”。另外, close还可指“彻底的,仔细的”“闷热的,不通风的”“势均力敌的”“秘密的,隐藏的”等。
2. close在句中可用作定语或表语,其后常加介词to。

adv. (副词)

2. close后常接介词of, 表示“…的结束”。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

close, shut

• 这两个词的共同意思是“关闭”。其细微区别在于:
• 1.close指把门等关到让人不能出入的程度,只表示关上; 而shut指关严并紧紧闩住,强调与外界隔绝。例如:
• He did not close the door when he left the room.
• 他离开房间时没有关门。
• Shut the door so that the cat won't get out.
• 把门关严,别让猫跑出去。
• The store closes at 9 p.m. every day.
• 这家商店晚9点关门。
• The police shut the murderer up in a cell.
• 警方把杀人犯关进牢房。
• 2.表示“暂不开放”用close,表示“永不开放”用shut。例如:
• The swimming pool has closed for the winter.游泳场冬天不开放。
• The hotel is shut.这家旅馆不再开业了。

adj. (形容词)

close, near

• 这两个词的共同意思是“靠近的,接近的”。其区别是：
• 1.强调距离或数量上的“接近”用close更多些; 而强调关系或程度上的“接近”则用near更多些。
• 2.near的语气要比close弱。例如:
• Near by is a department store.附近有一家百货商店。
• This is a near translation.这是一篇接近原文的翻译。

close, familiar, intimate

• 这三个词的共同意思是“亲近,亲密”。其区别是：
• familiar指经常接触,长时间的交往使彼此熟悉,亲近,甚至随便,不拘小节; close指由于感情、爱好、兴趣等方面的接近而趋于亲近,也指关系上的亲密; intimate是正式用语,指由于有某种关系(如血缘关系、朋友关系等)或深刻了解彼此的思想感情,或有共同的爱好、志向而亲近。例如:
• His familiar behaviour annoys me,I don't know him at all well.他随便的态度使我很不自在,其实我和他一点也不熟悉。
• They are close friends.他们是亲密的朋友。
• He is on intimate terms with my father.他和我父亲的关系很亲密。

adv. (副词)

close, closely

• 1.这两个词在作副词时,意思有细微的差别:close作“接近,靠近”解; 而closely作“严密地,紧密地”解,表示状况。例如:
• follow sb close 紧跟
• follow sb closely 密切注意
• 2.close一般跟在动词之后,而closely可置于动词之后,也可置于其前。
• 3.close表示程度,修饰形容词、副词、介词或动词,而closely表示方式,修饰动词。
• 4.另外,两个词都有“仔细地,细心地”的意思，但closely的意味更浓一些。例如:
• My daughter listened closely while Steve was reading the text.当史蒂芬读这篇课文时,我女儿仔细地听着。
• They look into the matter closely.他们仔细地研究这个问题。

下面两个短语意思不同:

• a close room 不通风的房间
• a closed room 被封闭的房间

close，near，nearby

• 这些形容词均有“接近的”之意。
• close语气强于near。指时间、地点或程度方面的接近，有紧靠、相邻的意味。
• near语气弱于close，也指时间或空间上的接近，但无“紧接，接触”的含义。
• nearby指距离上很近，近在咫尺。

close，shut，slam

• 这些动词均有“关”之意。
• close较多地用于正式或庄重的文体中，如关闭铁路、公路以及其它交通渠道，要用close。
• shut着重关闭的动作、过程和方式手段。
• slam象声词，指“砰的关上”，或用力关上。

close，closely

• 都表示“接近地”、“挨近地”、“紧紧地”。
• close通常放在动词之后，但在过去分词之前要用 closely。
• closely通常用于引申义，表示“仔细地”或“紧密地”。可放在动词之后或之前，或过去分词之前。

complete，finish，end，close，conclude，terminate，accomplish

• 这些动词均含“结束，完成”之意。
• complete侧重指完成预定的任务或使某事完善，补足缺少的部分等。
• finish与complete基本同义，着重圆满地结束或完成已着手的事。
• end最普通用词，着重事情的完成。也指某种活动因达到目的而自然结束或由于某种原因而突然中止。
• close普通用词，着重行为的终止或结束，不强调其目的。
• conclude正式用词，多指以某事或活动达到预期目的而告终。
• terminate强调有一个空间和时间的限度，届时必须终止。书面语用词。
• accomplish正式用词，强调一个过程的完成；也可指依靠努力达到一定目的，或取得一定的结果。

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 厂长关闭厂子两周了。

   误 The director closed the factory for two weeks.

   正 The director closed the factory two weeks ago.

   析 close是瞬间动词,不可与表示一段时间的状语连用。

词源解说

• ☆ 1200年左右进入英语，直接源自古法语的clos，意为关上；最初源自古典拉丁语的clausus，意为关上，堵塞，结束。
