词语用法

v. (动词)

1. forgive的基本意思是“原谅”或“宽恕”某人或对某人所做的违法或过失之事而不施以惩罚甚至打消一切记恨、埋怨或复仇心理,引申可指免除某人的债务等。在礼貌用语中,可表示希望不使他人因自己而被烦扰。
2. forgive既可用作及物动词,又可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时,接名词或动名词作宾语,也可接两个直接宾语,变为被动结构时应以人作主语; 用作不及物动词时,通常与介词for连用。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

forgive, spare

• 这两个词都可表示“赦免,饶命,宽恕”。其区别是：
• spare往往指放过不杀,保全性命; forgive则指“宽恕”,饶过某人的过失,不涉及丧命与否。例如:
• We forgave our friends' faults.我们宽恕朋友们的过失。

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 原谅我来这么晚。

   误 Forgive me to come so late.

   正 Forgive me for coming so late.

   析 表示“原谅某人做某事”须用forgive sb for sth/ v -ing结构,不可接不定式。
