- 直接源自古英語(yǔ)的agan,意為擁有。
用法辨析
- owe的基本意思是“精神與物質(zhì)上的虧欠”,即“欠某人債,應(yīng)該向(某人)付出”,引申可表示“某人對(duì)于他人、國(guó)家負(fù)有感激義務(wù)等或某人把發(fā)現(xiàn)、原理、成就等歸于他人”,即“感恩”“感激”“歸功于”“由于”。
- owe表示“欠(債)”與介詞for連用時(shí),后面只接物; 與介詞to連用時(shí),后面可接人,也可接物或事物。
- owe用作及物動(dòng)詞,其后接名詞或代詞作賓語(yǔ),也可接雙賓語(yǔ)(兩個(gè)都是直接賓語(yǔ))。兩個(gè)賓語(yǔ)一般說(shuō)來(lái)都可單獨(dú)出現(xiàn)。
- owe作“歸功于”解時(shí),一般使用owe...to句型,不用于被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu)。
- 如果owe的賓語(yǔ)是動(dòng)詞不定式或名詞從句,可使用it作形式賓語(yǔ),將充當(dāng)真正賓語(yǔ)的動(dòng)詞不定式或名詞從句放在句尾。
v. (動(dòng)詞)
