词语用法

n. (名词)

1. wave的基本意思是“波”,常用于表示“波浪”“波涛”,可指海面涌起拍岸大波或者波浪(尤指海浪)的浪头; 也可指形状上或运动上像波浪的事物,用于比喻则可指头发的波纹或烫发。在科技术语中, wave还可表示波状运动的波和热、光、声、磁、电等的波状运动。在物理学中则特指电磁波。
2. wave的另一个意思是指手等的“挥动”,即“挥手、招手、摆手”。
3. wave是可数名词,可用不定冠词修饰。the waves的意思是“大海”,是正式用法。
4. “在波浪上”应说on the waves,其中介词不可误用作in。

v. (动词)

1. wave用作名词时意思是“波浪”,转化为动词意为“波动”“起伏”“飘扬”。指无节奏、无规则地波动或上下颠动; 也可指“挥舞”“挥动”手臂、旗帜等; 还可根据挥动的事物或方式来表达某种意图(如信号、命令、招呼等)。
2. wave既可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词。用作及物动词时,接名词或代词作宾语,也可接双宾语,其间接宾语可以转化为介词to的宾语。wave还可接以动词不定式、 形容词或副词(小品词)充当补足语的复合宾语。

4. wave接介词at, to〔toward〕可表示“挥动”的对象:接to〔toward〕仅表示“朝…挥手”; 接at则含有目的性,表示“朝…挥手(致意〔威胁〕等)”。
5. wave接副词小品词away, back, down, off, on可表示“挥动”的目的:接away表示“挥手示意…离开”; 接back表示“挥手示意…后退”; 接down表示“挥手示意…停下”; 接off表示“挥手为…送行”; 接on表示“挥手示意…前进”。
