boasted
基本解釋
- v.自夸；吹牛；以...為榮
- n.自夸；引以為榮的事物
用法辨析
- boast的基本意思是“升,提”,指說話人在確實具有夸耀理由的基礎(chǔ)上,對自己的某一事(如業(yè)績、成就、學識、機靈、祖先等)有比事實更大的虛飾,更多的炫耀,有言過其實的成分,可譯作“夸口”或“吹噓”,但并不一定都有壞的含義。引申表示為“因擁有…而自豪”。
- boast用作不及物動詞時,意為“自夸”“自吹自擂”,常接介詞of或about; 用作及物動詞時可跟簡單賓語,也可跟that從句。接以“(to be)+ n./adj. ”充當補足語的復合賓語時則表示“自詡是”“自夸是”。
- boast用在進行時態(tài)中時,并不真正表示“正在吹噓”,而是說他有愛吹噓的壞毛病。
- boast作“自夸的話”解時有貶義，作“引以為榮的事物”解時不帶貶義。
- boast后常跟that引導的同位語從句。
