词义辨析

v. (动词)

sing, sing about

• sing的意思是“唱”,其后一般接song或歌曲的名称; sing about常作“歌颂”解,其后一般接抽象名词。

sing, carol, chant, descant, hymn, troll, warble

• 这组词都有“歌唱”的意思。其区别在于：
• 1.sing指以高低不同的音符发出的一连串的悦耳的声响,其主体可以是人,也可以是鸟、小溪等。
• 2.chant指以庄重的语调用同一节奏反复地吟唱,也可指以歌唱的形式反复单调地朗诵,其主体只能是人。例如:
• The choir chanted in the background.唱诗班在后面唱着赞美诗。
• The protesters chanted in the street below.在下面的街上,抗议者们有节奏地反复喊口号。
• She led the group in chanting their slogans.她带领人群高呼口号。
• The crowd chanted slogans and waved banners.人群有节奏地呼喊口号并挥舞旗帜。

• 5.troll指用洪亮的声音歌唱,尤指人们在欢乐时或庆祝伟大事件时高声歌唱。
• 6.descant指和声歌唱。
• 7.warble特指用柔和的颤音歌唱。

下面三个句子的意思相同：

• She sings us a song.
• She sings a song for us.
• She sings a song to us.
• 她给我们唱一首歌。

下面两个句子的意思不同：

• She sings loud.

sing，hum

• 这两个动词均含“唱”之意。
• sing普通用词，泛指一般的歌唱或发出悦耳的声音。

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 她唱着哄婴儿入睡。

   误 She sang a baby sleeping.

   误 She sang a baby having slept.

   正 She sang a baby to sleep.
