英語單詞means用法易錯點
means是可數名詞意為“方法”、“手段”、“收入”、“財富”,需要注意的一點是means是單復同形詞。有by all means(可以;當然行;沒問題),by no means(絕不;一點也不)等用法。下面小編講解means用法的易錯點,歡迎參考!
有這樣一道題,請看看:
Every possible means ________ been tried,and we find only ________ this means can we do it well.
A. have,in B. have,by C. has,in D. has,by
此題應選 D。其余幾項均容易被誤選。這里主要涉及名詞means(方式,方法,手段)的用法與搭配:
1. 單復數同形(永遠有詞尾-s)。若用作主語,其謂語的數需根據句意來確定。比較:
All possible means have been tried. 所有可能的辦法都已經試過了。
Every possible means has been tried. 每種可能的辦法都已經試過了。
若句意不能明確地表明主語的單復數,其謂語則用單數或復數均可:
Is [Are] there any other means of doing it? 做這事還有其他的什么辦法嗎?
2. 表示以某種方式、方法或手段,用介詞by:
Only by this means can you do it well. 只有通過這種辦法你才能做好此事。
有時用 by means of,意為:用……,依靠……:
Thoughts are expressed by means of words. 思想靠語言來表達。
3. 表示做某事的方法或手段,多接“of+(動)名詞”:
But they had no means of cooking them. 但是他們沒有辦法來把它們煮熟。
Taking a plane is the quickest means of getting there. 去那兒最快的辦法是坐飛機。
