词语用法

1. offer作名词或动词时，后均可加不定式，但是在作名词时所接的不定式的动作一般是由提出offer的人做的。

   He made an offer to teach me French.
   他提议教我学法语。

2. offer和give不可同时使用，因都有“提供”的意思，有重复性。

   He offered to give her help.
   第一句是错误的，应用第二句的格式。

3. Both advice and help were offered (to) the young man.句中的to在英国不可省略，但在美国可省略。

v. (动词)

1. offer的基本意思是“主动拿出”,可指主动提供某事物供考虑、接受或拒绝,或为某物出价,也可指主动提出建议、意见等。还可表示“主动做(某事)”。
2. offer作“动提供,主动提出; 出价”解时,用作及物动词时,接名词、代词或动词不定式作宾语,也可接双宾语,其间接宾语可以转化为介词to的宾语, offer有时还可接以as短语充当补足语的复合宾语,此时的宾语通常为反身代词。
3. offer作“表示愿意”解时,既可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。 用作及物动词时,通常只接动词不定式作宾语。
4. offer也可表示“发生,出现,呈现”,用作不及物动词; 还可表示“为(某事物)提供机会”“给予”,用作及物动词。
5. offer有时还可用来引出直接引语表示“自告奋勇地说”。
6. offer可用于被动结构。

n. (名词)

1. offer用作名词可表示“提议,提供”也可指“提供考虑的数量”“出价”,是可数名词,一般用于单数形式。
2. offer后可接of短语或动词不定式作定语。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

offer, give

• 这两个词均可表示“给”。其区别是：
• give所指的“给”,对方一般是接受; offer所指的“给”,对方可能接受,也可能拒绝。试比较:
• He gave me some tickets.
• 他给了我几张票。
• He offered me some tickets, which I re- fused politely.
• 他要给我几张票,但我婉言谢绝了。

offer, prefer, present, proffer, tender

• 这组词都可表示“提出”。它们之间的区别是：
• 1.present特指通过礼仪形式或彬彬有礼的行为向对方提供考虑、选择或认可的服务、建议或物品。
• 2.offer是最基本、最常用的词,表示主动奉献某物或提出别人可能接受或拒绝的建议、意见、职务等。例如:
• The teacher offered a few ideas to improve the plan.老师提出了几点改进计划的意见。
• She offered to help me to learn English.她提出要帮我学英语。
• 3.proffer强调因慷慨所产生的自愿奉献行为,是较正式用语。例如:
• Many people proffered blood and skin for the badly burnt worker.很多人要求为那个严重烧伤的工人献血献皮。
• 4.tender专指在公务上或法律上呈请正式批准,作一般用法时,强调温和有礼。例如:
• She tendered him her resignation.她向他提交了辞呈。
• 5.prefer只用在19世纪的英语中或某些法律场合才表示“提出”。例如:
• The police preferred a charge against the motorist.警方控告那个汽车司机。
• Will the police prefer charges against the boys or just give them a warning?警方会控告那些男孩吗?还是只给他们一个警告?

offer，present，propose，volunteer

• 这些动词均含“提出、提供”之意。
• offer最普通用词，多指主动提出或提供意见或东西等，但是否接受由对方自行决定。
• present既可指提出意见、建议等，又可指拿出某物供人欣赏或赠送。
• propose指直接而主动地提出问题或建议等，也指在讨论或争辨中提出具体意见或建议。
• volunteer与offer同义，侧重出于自愿，而不是奉命做某事。

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 她主动把自行车借给了我。

   误 She offered that she would lend me her bike.

   正 She offered to lend me her bike.

   析 offer后一般不接that从句。

n. (名词)

1. 承你的帮忙,不胜感激。

   误 We are grateful to you for your offer to give help to us.

   正 We are grateful to you for your offer of help to us.

   析 offer本身已含有“给予,付出”的意思,所以用to give是多余的。

词源解说

• ☆ 直接源自古英语的ofrian；最初源自拉丁语的offerre，意为展示，馈赠。
