词语用法

v. (动词)

1. laugh的基本意思是“笑”“嘲笑”“以笑表示”,指某人因高兴、惊奇等而笑或指某人、某事让人觉得好笑,尤指出声地开怀大笑,重在笑出声,常伴有表情和动作。laugh作“笑”解时是不及物动词;作“笑着表示”解时是及物动词,接名词或代词作宾语,也可接以形容词充当补足语的复合宾语。laugh可接同源宾语,该同源宾语前通常有形容词hearty, merry等修饰。
2. laugh与away〔off〕连用,意为“以笑表示,用笑来驱除…”;与at连用时用于贬义,表示“因…而笑”,也可表示“嘲笑”;接 about 表示“对…感到好笑而发笑”,接 over 表示“想到或谈到某事而发笑”。

n. (名词)

1. laugh作“笑,笑声,笑态”解时是可数名词,指具体的笑的动作,可指一般地发笑或出声地大笑。
2. laugh还可作“笑料”解,指引人发笑的事情或人,常用单数形式。
3. 在口语中, laugh也可表示“有趣”,常用复数形式,有时含有讽刺意义。

• 3.smile, laugh是一般用语;beam是正式用语;chuckle多用于书面语中;giggle多用于女人或孩子。

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 汤姆嘲笑这个观点。

   误 Tom laughed this idea.

   正 Tom laughed at this idea.

   析 laugh作“嘲笑”解时,是不及物动词,其客体必须由介词at引出。

2. 他的笑话常常使我们笑出眼泪来。

   误 His jokes often make us laugh to tears.

   正 His jokes often make us laugh ourselves to tears.

   析 表示“笑出眼泪”,英语是laugh oneself to tears,不能省略oneself一词。

n. (名词)

1. 他们发出了笑声。

   误 They gave loud laugh.

   正 They gave a loud laugh.

   析 laugh作名词表示“笑声”时是可数名词,前面可以加不定冠词a。
