3. suggest作“建议”“提议”解后接that从句作宾语时,从句中的谓语动词要用虚拟式; 作“表明,暗示”“使想起”等解时,从句中的谓语动词可用陈述式。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

suggest, connote, denote, imply, indicate, mean, signify, symbolize

• 这组词的共同意思是“意指”。其区别是：
• 1.mean是普通用语,对于明确与否的观点、物品都可以用; suggest意为“具有…的含义”,暗示“表明”。例如:
• He claims to mean one thing, but his choice of words suggests quite another.他宣称指的是一件事,而他的话却含有另外一个含义。
• 2.indicate与imply意为“说明,表明,象征”, indicate通常指明显、明确的事物。例如:
• A high fever indicates a severe illness.高烧预示着要生病了。
• imply通常指含蓄地、不明确地“暗示”。例如:
• His smile implied that he had forgotten all about the time.他的笑预示着他完全忘记了时间。
• 3.denote与connote通常指明示的内容、含义,从外观上即可看出。例如:
• The word “lion” denotes〔connotes〕 a certain kind of animal.“狮子”这个词指一种动物。
• 4.connote与suggest和imply有时可以替换,但connote的用法比其他两个词较为正式。例如:
• Hunger connotes〔suggests, implies〕 unhappiness.饥饿就预示着不高兴。
• 5.signify与symbolize表示“意味,象征”, symbolize通常指用物、符号代表某物,着重表示抽象的概念。例如:
• What does this strange mark signify〔symbolize〕?这个奇怪的符号代表什么?
• 6.signify有时可以和mean互换。例如:
• A red sunset signifies〔means〕 fine weather.一轮火红的落日象征着一个好天气。

suggest, hint, intimate

• 这组词的共同意思是“暗示”,其区别是：
• hint和intimate指用间接、含蓄的语言“暗示”, intimate更为坦白; suggest可指直接“建议”,也可指暗中流露。例如:
• He hinted his dissatisfaction with her work.他暗示了对她工作的不满。
• She hinted that it was time we left.她暗示我们该走了。
• He intimated that he intended to marry her.他暗示要娶她。
• The dean intimated his approval of the plan.系主任表明同意这一计划。

suggest, pose, propose, propound

• 这组词的共同意思是“提议,建议”。其区别是：
• propose指在争辩或讨论中提出意见或建议,请求给予考虑、解决、采纳或赞同,指较积极地提议; suggest指客气地、谦虚地建议; propound指向别人提出可供考虑的方案或建议,强调建议者不怀个人偏见或好恶; pose指提出不谋求立刻得到答复的问题。

mean，imply，indicate，represent，denote，signify，suggest

• 这些动词均含有“表示……的意思”之意。
• mean最普通用词，指文字或符号等所表示的各种明确的或含蓄的意义。
• imply侧重用文字或符号表示的联想，暗示。
• indicate指明显的表示。
• represent指体现或代表。
• denote指某一词字面或狭义的意思，或指某些符号或迹象的特指含义。
• signify指用文字、说话或表情等表示单纯的意思。
• suggest通常指暗含地、隐晦地表达意思。

recommend，advocate，propose，suggest，prescribe

• 这些动词均含“劝告、主张、建议”之意。
• recommend指向对方提出公开的建议或规劝。
• advocate指公开表明对某事或某行为的完全赞同，语气强于recommend。
• propose多指较正式地提出建议。
• suggest语气较委婉，指提出不成熟的建议或参见意见。
• prescribe多指医生开处方。

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 他建议去散散步。

   误 He suggested to go for a walk.

   正 He suggested going for a walk.

   正 He suggested that we (should) go for a walk.

2. 我建议他不要加水喝。

   误 I suggested him to drink it without adding any water.

   误 I suggested his drinking it without adding any water.

   正 I suggested that he (should) drink it without adding any water.

   析 suggest后不能接动词不定式或“宾语+动词不定式”结构。在表示“建议某人做某事”时,可接动名词或接that从句来表示,从句中的谓语多用should加动词原形构成, should可省略。

3. 她打哈欠表示她很困了。

   误 Her yawn suggests that she should be sleepy.

   正 Her yawn suggests that she is sleepy.

   析 suggest作“暗示,表明”解后接that从句时,从句中一般不用虚拟语气。
