用法辨析
- whisper的基本意思是“低聲說(shuō)”“耳語(yǔ)”,指輕柔地或悄悄地說(shuō)話,也可指只作出說(shuō)話的口形和語(yǔ)氣,但沒(méi)有出聲。引申可表示“流傳”“悄悄地傳開(kāi)”“告密”。
- whisper可用作及物動(dòng)詞,也可用作不及物動(dòng)詞。用作及物動(dòng)詞時(shí),接名詞、代詞或that從句作賓語(yǔ)。也可接雙賓語(yǔ),其間接賓語(yǔ)可由介詞to引出,還可接以動(dòng)詞不定式充當(dāng)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)的復(fù)合賓語(yǔ),還可引出直接引語(yǔ)。
- whisper可用于被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu)。
- whisper用作名詞時(shí)意思是“低語(yǔ),耳語(yǔ),私語(yǔ)”,引申還可表示“傳聞,謠言”,是可數(shù)名詞,常與不定冠詞a連用,可用于復(fù)數(shù)形式。
- whisper還可作“輕柔的颯颯風(fēng)聲”解,只用于單數(shù)形式。
