用法讲解

v. (动词)
  1. exaggerate的基本意思是“超越事实”,可指“(使…)显得大”,也指“扩大”,尤指“过分夸大”。
  2. exaggerate既可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词。作“(使…)显得大”“扩大”解时,常接具体名词; 作“夸大，夸张”解时,常接抽象名词。
  3. exaggerate与cannot连用意为“再夸大也不过分”。
  4. exaggerate可用于被动结构。
v. (动词)
exaggerate, magnify
  • 这组词都有“夸大,夸张”的意思。它们的区别是:
  • exaggerate多指“夸大”,带有强烈的“过火”意味,后常接较抽象的名词; magnify常表示“扩大”“放大”,后接意义比较具体的名词。试比较以下两个句子:
  • He often exaggerates the facts.
  • 他老是夸大事实。
  • We magnify objects with a microscope.
  • 我们用显微镜来放大物体。
    • 用作动词 (v.)
