词语用法

n. (名词)

2. rest引申可作“支持物”解,支撑架、支座等,尤指直立物的支持物,是可数名词。
3. the rest作“其余的”“剩余的”解时,在句中作主语代替可数名词时,谓语动词用复数形式; 代替不可数名词时,谓语动词用单数形式。
4. rest不能用作定语修饰其他名词,若表示“余下的…东西”,须用the rest of结构。

v. (动词)

1. rest用作动词的基本意思是“使休息”,指使某人或某物停止活动或停止说话,让其处于静止的状态以恢复体力或振奋精神,引申可表示“使轻松”“使安静”。rest还可作“(使)倚靠〔支撑〕”解。

3. rest还可作系动词,意思是“仍是”,接名词或形容词作表语。

词义辨析

n. (名词)

take (one's) rest, have〔take〕 a rest

• 这两个短语在意思上有差别:前者常表示“就寝”,后者常表示“休息”。

rest, repose

• 这两个词都可表示“休息”。其区别是：
• rest为普通用词,指劳作之后的放松过程; repose为正式用语,并不一定含有劳作后的放松过程的意味。例如:
• Don't disturb her repose.不要吵醒她。

rest, remainder, remains, residue

• 这组词都有“剩余”的意思。其区别是：
• remains指某物已用掉或毁掉一部分后的剩余部分或残余部分; remainder着重指作了扣除之后剩下的东西,也可指算术中的差数或余数; residue指某一过程中的残余物,尤指在化学反应中; rest表示在原有总体上剩下来的人或事物。例如:
• Take five from eight and the remainder is three. 8减5余3。
• Twenty of us went to reap wheat and the remainder worked in the cotton fields.我们之中20人去割麦,其余人在棉花田劳动。
• Mary scraped the residue of food from the plates before putting them under water.玛丽在把盘子放入水之前先刮去上面的食物残渣。
• There is a green residue in the bottom of the test tube.试管底部有绿色的沉淀物。
• Keep the rest for yourself.剩下的都给你了。

v. (动词)

rest on, rest with

• 这两个短语意思不同:rest on的意思是“依靠,依赖”, rest with的意思是“在于,取决于”。例如:
• Science rests on observation.科学要靠观察。
• The decision rests with you.决策由你负责定夺。

break，rest，pause，interval，recess，cease，stop，end

• 这些名词均含有“中止，停止，休息”之意。
• break非正式用词，指突然的或短时间的中止，如工作或活动期间短暂休息。
• rest指统称的休息。
• pause指短暂的中断或停止，含再进行下去的意味。
• interval指一出戏在幕与幕之间，音乐会上下串场之间或演出中预先安排的休息；也可泛指事件之间的一段时间。
• recess正式用词，指业务活动或工作中短暂的或长时间的休息。
• cease正式用词，侧重逐渐结束某活动或状态，含永远结束的意味。
• stop普通用词，指迅速或突然中止某行为、活动或状态。
• end多指“自然的结束”。

comfort，ease，leisure，relaxation，relief，rest

• 这些名词均含“舒适，安逸、悠闲”之意。
• comfort通常指在摆脱烦人、痛苦的事情，或在要求、愿望得到满足后所感到的舒适。
• ease指因没有担心和忧虑而轻松。
• leisure专指闲暇时间或悠闲状态。
• relaxation强调消除肌肉疲劳或思想的紧张状态，使身心松弛，得到休息。
• relief侧重有消除痛苦、不适或困难的负担，常暗含不利因素已不存在的意味。
• rest与work相对，强调消除身心疲劳，不着重休息方式。

remainder，surplus，rest，remains，balance

• 这些名词均含“剩余部分”之意。
• remainder含义较广，可指数学运算中的余数，也指从整体取走或用掉部分后的所余部分，或一群人走掉一部分剩下的人。
• surplus表盈余。
• rest最普通用词与定冠词连用，指任何指定数量的人或物等。
• remains常指人或动物死后的遗体或遗骨，也指古代文明的遗迹或去世作家尚未发表的遗稿。

常见错误

n. (名词)

1. 学校明天停课。

   误 The school will be rest tomorrow.

   正 There will be no lessons tomorrow.

   析 表示“停课”不能用rest。

2. 只有两个学生留在教室里,其余的都去图书馆了。

   误 Only two students remain in the classroom, and the rest has gone to the library.

   正 and the rest have gone to the library.

   析 the rest表示“其余的”,当它用作主语时,其谓语动词用单数还是用复数,要根据the rest所指的内容来定。句中的the rest等于the rest of the students,其中students是复数,因此谓语动词要用复数形式。

v. (动词)

1. 错误仍然没有改正。

   误 The mistake still rests uncorrected.

   正 The mistake rests uncorrected.

   析 rest作为系动词,本身就含有“依旧”的意思,因此,加用像still这样的副词是多余的。
