用法讲解

v. (动词)
  1. burn的基本意思是“烧”,指“燃烧”(自燃或人为点燃),也可指“烧伤”(各种原因如烧、烫、烤等及各种程度)。引申则可表示“情绪激动”(如怒火中烧)。
  2. burn可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词。用作及物动词时后接名词或代词作宾语,有时还可接以形容词充当补足语的复合宾语。burn可用于被动结构。
  3. burn还可用作系动词,接形容词作表语。
  4. burn的过去式和过去分词有两种形式, burned或burnt。英式英语中用作不及物动词或用作比喻时用burned,用作及物动词或形容词时用burnt; 美式英语中一般只用burned,只有过去分词作形容词时才用burnt。
  5. burn作不及物动词用于现在进行体时,若主语为物,则主动形式含有被动意思。
  6. burn的现在分词burning可用作形容词,在句中作表语,后接动词不定式表示“渴望的”“热衷于”。burning也可修饰形容词,带有口语色彩,着重强调。
n. (名词)
  1. burn用作名词时有3个意思:①“烧”,指抽象的燃烧动作或状态,是不可数名词; ②“伤”,指烧伤或刺痛,是可数名词; ③“痕”,指烧过或烧伤的痕迹,是可数名词。
v. (动词)
burn down, burn out, burn up
  • 这三个短语都可表示“烧光”。其区别是：
  • burn down强调把某物“烧毁”,除此之外还可表示火势“减弱”。例如:
  • The fire burns down slowly.火慢慢地熄灭了。
  • burn out强调“燃烧完了”。例如:
  • The match soon burnt out.火柴很快烧完了。
  • burn up除表示“烧光”外,还可表示“烧了起来”。例如:
  • The fire burnt up suddenly.火突然烧了起来。
    • burn, char, scorch, sear, singe
  • 这组词都有“烧伤,烫伤”的意思。burn包含的意思最广泛,可指火、热、酸等所伤,但不强调损坏的程度。scorch侧重于表面受伤,强调表面变色,有时损伤到内部组织。char指全部或部分地烧焦。sear指烧或烤干表面,使其坚硬或干燥,尤指烧灼动物的肌肉。singe指烧去表皮上的短毛。
    • 下面两个短语意思不同:
  • all the burned wood 所有烧掉的木材(过去分词表动作)
  • all the burnt wood 所有烧焦的木材(过去分词用作形容 词表性质)
    • 下面两句意思相同:
  • The candle was burned out at midnight.
  • The candle burned itself out at midnight.
  • 蜡烛在半夜时烧完了。
