词语用法

1. prepare后可接双宾语。

   他老婆正在给他准备一顿饭。

2. prepare to do表示“因要……而作准备”，prepared to do表示“原意且有能力做什么”。

   I am preparing to undertake the task.
   我正为要担任这个工作作准备。

   I am prepared to undertake the task.
   我愿意且能够担任这工作。

3. 同will not和cannot相比，be not prepared to的语气要来的更加婉转，常出现在公文中；
4. prepared后可接that从句，从句里用should。

v. (动词)

1. prepare的基本意思是“准备”,指为了完成某种行动,在此之前比较短的时间内做必要的预备或使具备进行某项活动的条件,包括物质准备,也包括心理准备。
2. prepare既可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时,可接名词、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for的宾语。prepare还可接以动词不定式或as短语充当补足语的复合宾语。prepare接名词作宾语时,常含有使准备的东西能吃或能用的意味; 接动词不定式作宾语时,意为“准备做某事”; 接动词不定式充当补足语时,意为“准备某人做某事”; 接as短语作宾语补足语时,意思是“为当…做准备”。
3. prepare用作不及物动词时,其后可接for或against。接against时,所指的大多是不好的事或令人不愉快的事。
4. be prepared的意思是“做好准备”,其后可跟for引起的短语、动词不定式或虚拟的that从句,表示“愿意…”。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

prepare, prepare for

• prepare的意思是“准备或筹划某事”; prepare for的意思是“为某事的到来作准备”。例如:
• prepare an attack
• 准备进攻
• prepare for an attack
• 为打退进攻而作准备
• 又如：
• The teacher prepared the exam.
• 老师筹划考试。
• The students prepared for the exam.
• 学生为应付考试作准备。

be prepared, be ready

• 这两个短语都可以表示已经完成采取某种行动之前所必要的准备或具备进行某项活动的条件。其区别在于：
• 1.be ready表示具备做某事的条件、处于可以做某事的状态,或有思想准备,乐于做某事。例如:
• We are ready to start.我们准备好了,可以开始了。
• He was always ready to help his friends.他总是乐于帮助朋友 。
• 2.而be prepared除强调为做某事而进行了积极的努力外,还常常用来强调精神上有应付意想不到的事件的能力。例如:
• The student was thoroughly prepared for the examination.这个学生为考试做了充分准备。
• These children are prepared for the disappointments as well as the joys of life.这些孩子不仅准备享受生活的乐趣,而且也准备经受生活中的失意。

prepare, cook, fix, get, make

• 这组词都可以表示“做”,其区别是：
• cook只用于食品而不用于饮料; 其他几个词都可以用于饮料。make和get可以互换; 而prepare和fix则强调准备的过程。例如:
• She is cooking in the kitchen.她在厨房里做饭。
• Let me fix you a drink!我来为你倒杯饮料。
• He got〔made〕 himself a cup of coffee.他给自己冲了杯咖啡。
• You shouldn't have troubled yourself to prepare such a feast!你本不该准备这样丰盛的饭菜,这样太麻烦你了。

下面两个句子意思不同:

• My grandmother is preparing supper.
• 我奶奶在做晚饭。
• I washed my hand, preparing for supper.
• 我洗手,准备吃晚饭。

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 我准备做笔记。

   误 I prepared that I jot down some notes.

   正 I prepared to jot down some notes.

   析 prepare可接动词不定式作宾语,但不接that从句。

词源解说

• ☆ 15世纪中期进入英语，直接源自中古法语的preparer；最初源自拉丁语的praeparare，意为事先准备。
