painful的用法一得

编辑: 逍遥路 关键词: 高中英语 来源: 高中学习网


高考临近,小编为大家准备了些高考短语及其用法和搭配,希望大家能从中获益!

请看下面一题:(from www.nmet168.com)

The operation was successful, but I still felt _________.

A. very painful B. much painful C. a lot of pain D. very paining

此题容易误选A,想当然地认为:pain 表示“痛”,其形容词painful自然表示表示“感到疼痛的”。

其实 painful 的意思并不是“感到疼痛的”,而是表示“使人感到疼痛的”、“使人感到痛苦的”,所以它通常用于说明事物,而不宜用于说明人。比较并体会:

他仍很痛苦。

正:He is still in pain.

误:He’s still painful.

你感到痛吗?

正:Do you feel any pain?

误:Are you painful?

见到你这样生活我很痛心。

正:I am pained to see you living this way.

误:I am painful to see you living this way.

听到他的死讯,我们都很痛苦。

误:We were all painful to hear of his death.

正:We were all pained to hear of his death.

他眼睛痛。

正:He has painful eyes.

误:He’s painful in the eyes.
