词语用法

v. (动词)

1. examine的基本意思是“检查”,指通过严密的调查或向某人提问来确定某物〔事物〕的性质、状况、效力或功能等。
2. examine通常只用作及物动词,可接名词、代词作宾语,也可接whether从句作宾语。可用于被动结构。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

examine in, examine on

• 这两个短语都可表示“在…方面考查”,前者考查的范围较广,后者则较集中。

examine, inspect, investigate, scrutinize

• 这四个词均有“检查”“审查”的含义。它们之间的区别是:examine为最普通的用语,可指任何方式地、粗略或仔细地检查; inspect和scrutinize都有仔细检查的含义,前者强调通过检查找出缺点或漏洞,后者强调在检查时注意细节的审视。另外examine, inspect, scrutinize既可用于人,又可用于物,而investigate只能用于表示对情况、事态等的调查或检查。试体会下例中这四个词的运用:The detective investigating the murder case examined the body, inspected the scene of the crime, and scrutinized the weapon for clues.正在调查这一谋杀案的侦探检查了尸体,察看了犯罪现场,并仔细检查了凶器以寻找线索。

v. (动词)

1. 我们明天将考英语。

   误 We'll examine English tomorrow.

   正 We're being examined in English tomorrow.

   正 We're being examined on the knowledge of English tomorrow.

   析 表示“考某一科目”常用“examine sb in+科目”这种结构,也可以说“examine sb on the knowledge of+科目”,但不可直接接“科目”作宾语。
