词语用法

1. mention只有及物动词的用法，后面不可以接介词；
2. mention后面也不可以接不定式，但可以接动名词和that引导的从句。

   He mentions hearing from her often.
   他提到经常有她的信儿。

3. 因为mention既是名词也是动词，所以在表示“值得一提”时，短语worth mention和worth mentioning都正确。

v. (动词)

1. mention的基本意思是“提到”“说起”,如口头或书面提及某人的名字,提及或简述某事物等,以引起注意。
2. mention是及物动词,可接名词、代词或动名词作宾语,还可接以that或疑问词引导的从句作宾语。可用于被动结构。
3. mention偶尔也可接以as短语充当补足语的复合宾语。
4. mention不可用于mention sb sth 结构,“对…提起…”可以说mention sb/sth to sb 或mention to sb that/wh-clause结构。
5. not to mention可用如连词,其后只接名词短语。

n. (名词)

1. mention作名词与动词的意思基本一致,指人们口头或书面对某人或某事物进行简短陈述,是单数名词,可与不定冠词连用。
2. mention常与介词of连用。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

not to mention, let alone

• 这两者都可用如连词,其区别仅在于:not to mention后只接名词短语,而let alone后可接任何词。另外, let alone只用于非正式语体中,且多用于否定句。例如:
• I had never seen him, let alone spoken to him.我从未见过他,更不用说与他交谈了。

not to mention, not to say

• 这两个短语都可表示对某一事物的说明,但有区别。试比较:
• I don't know English, not to mention French.
• 我连英语都不懂,更别说法语了。
• (两件事,追补)
• It is warm today, not to say hot.
• 今天虽说不上多么热,可也够暖和了。
• (一类事,不同程度)

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 他没有提到你的建议。

   误 He didn't mention of your suggestion.

   正 He didn't mention your suggestion.

   析 mention作动词时,后面可直接跟宾语,不用加介词of。而mention作名词时可以加of。

词源解说

• ☆ 1300年左右进入英语，直接源自古法语的mencion；最初源自古典拉丁语的mentionem，意为想起。
