词语用法

1. dress作动词表示“穿衣”或“替（某人）穿衣”时，表示的是穿衣服的整个动作，而不是单指“穿”那个动作。

   She is dressing.She is dressing her baby.
   前两句都是对的，而最后一句是错的，因dress已包含衣服，后面就不用再加表示衣服的词了。

2. dress作名词时，统指“服装”。

   He doesn't seem to care much about dress.
   他看起来不怎么注重穿着。

3. 注意dress除了统指“服装”外，可表示“女装”，偶尔也可指“童装”，但绝不可以表示“男装”。

   He wears a blue dress.
   这个句子是错误的，不可用。

4. dress的单复数形式一样，a dress指“一件女衫或一件童装”，dress则指“多件女衫或童装”；
5. 在full dress（大礼服）和evening dress（晚礼服）两短语中，不加a或the，也不存在复数形式；
6. be dressed in表示“某人穿着什么衣服”，常用于一些特定场合。

   I didn't recognise him because he was dressed in a dark suit.
   他穿着黑色的西装时，我没有认出他来。

7. 表示“为了演出或化妆舞会等穿着特殊的服装”时，用短语dress up来表示。

   The children dressed themselves up as angels to attend the ceremony.
   孩子们把自己打扮成天使去参加典礼。

n. (名词)

1. dress用作可数名词时,指“妇女和儿童的服装”。尤指女士上下连身的裙子。
2. dress用作不可数名词时,是衣服的总称,尤指外衣,不论男女都可用,有时还指用于特定场合的服装。

v. (动词)

1. dress的基本意思是“给裸露的身体穿上衣服”,可表示状态(=wear clothes),也可表示动作(=put on clothes)。dress含有穿戴或款式上精心挑选的味道,引申可表示“装饰”“打扮”“为…提供衣服,为…设计衣服; 包扎; 梳理头发”等。
2. dress用作不及物动词时多指“穿着”的状态,在非正式场合也可指重复或习惯性的动作。
3. dress用作及物动词时,最常用的意思是“给…穿上衣服”。其宾语是反身代词或其他表人的名词,而不是表示衣服的名词。
4. dress也可表示“(加调料)制作”,这时可接双宾语。
5. dress有时还可作系词,其后可接形容词作补语。

词义辨析

n. (名词)

dress, clothes, clothing, coat, overcoat, suit

• 这六个词的共同意思是“衣服”。其区别是：
• clothes是衣服的总称,含义较具体,指具体的“衣服”,可指上衣、下衣、外衣、内衣,也可指特定时间或情况下穿的衣服。例如:
• He spent a lot of money on clothes when he was young.他年轻时花很多钱买衣服。
• clothing也是衣服的总称,含义较抽象,泛指“衣着”这一概念,而且还包括鞋帽等,且有时clothing不一定与穿衣者有关,可与制造者或销售者有关。例如:
• People of different climates wear different clothing.生活在不同气候条件下的人衣着也不相同。
• This is a factory that makes children's clothing.这是一家童装厂。
• coat专指女式大衣或男式西装上衣。例如:
• I've bought a coat for my daughter.我替女儿买了一件大衣。
• These coats are in the newest style.这些西装上衣都是最新款式的。
• dress指外衣或特定场合的衣服,尤指妇女或儿童日常服装、连衣裙等。例如:
• She wore a long, white dress for the wedding.她穿着一件长长的白色结婚礼服。
• overcoat专指男大衣。例如:
• Men and boys wear overcoats in cold weather.天冷时，人们都穿大衣。
• suit则指一套衣服,尤指男西装。例如:
• My brother wore a new suit for the party.我哥哥穿一身新西服去参加晚会。

v. (动词)

dress well, well dressed

• 这两个短语都可表示“衣冠楚楚”。其区别是：
• dress well中的dress是不及物动词,指经常性的穿着习惯; well dressed中的dressed是过去分词用作形容词,既可指经常性的穿着习惯,也可指某日某时的衣着情况。试比较:
• He dresses well on all occasions.
• 他任何场合都衣冠楚楚。
• He is well dressed only on Sunday.
• 他只在星期天才穿得很好。

dress, have on, put on, wear

• 这组词语都有“穿”或“穿衣”的意思。其区别是：
• 1.在表示“穿着”时, wear和have on可以互换。
• 2.dress仅限于表示“穿衣服”; put on可表示“穿上衣服”或“戴上眼镜、帽子等”; wear和put on则可表示一般的“穿”或“戴”; 留胡子则用wear来表示。
• 3.put on只表示动作; wear和have on均表示状态; dress则既可表示动作也可表示状态。
• 4.put on是瞬间动词; wear和have on都是持续性动词; dress则既可作持续性动词,也可作瞬间动词。
• 5.have on不能用于进行时态,其他3个词则可以。

下列两句话的意思不同:

• I saw a man dressed in black.
• 我看见了一个穿着黑色衣服的人。
• I saw a man dressing in black.
• 我看见一个人正在穿黑色的衣服。
• 前一句中的dressed是过去分词作定语,作“穿着”(wearing)解,而后一句中dressing是不及物动词dress的现在分词形式,表示“穿(衣服)”(putting on a dress)的意思。

clothes，clothing，coat，dress，garment，robe，gown，uniform，costume，suit

• 这些名词均有“衣服、服装”之意。
• clothes普通用词，多指包括上衣、内衣或裤子等具体的一件件衣服。
• clothing常用词，集合名词，是衣服的总称。
• coat指上衣、外衣、大衣、外套及女式上装。
• dress多指正式场合或为某些特定用途而穿的服装，也指童装或女性穿的连衣裙。
• garment语气庄重，正式用词，复数形式可与clothes换用，指身上全部穿着。单数形式指单件衣服，尤指长袍、外套等外面的衣服。
• robe指长袍，也指浴衣、晨衣。
• gown指女人穿的长服，尤指教士、法官、教授等的礼服或妇女的睡衣等，也指长袍。
• uniform指某团体或组织统一做的制服，如军服、校服等。
• costume指流行某一地区或某一时代的服装，也指演员的戏装。
• suit指一套服装，一般有几件配成一套的套装。

wear，dress，put on

• 这些动词或词组均含“穿衣，穿”之意。
