我相信大家也曾经被 image,imagine 或 imaginary 等类似 image 的单词所困扰过;因为 image,它们彼此或相关联,或互相干扰,给学习英语的人造成了不少困扰,今天就给一窝端了。这四个单词因 image 而生,有些是从其他单词派生而来的,整个家族总共四个成员,首先从基因 image 说起。
一、Image,作名词时,常以“形象或图像”的意思出没,特别是“形象”,常用作可数名词,例如: 1. create/project/build an image 创造/树立一个形象The company is aiming at projecting an image of being innovative and progressive.2. change/improve/protect sb's image 改变/改善/保护某人的形象 Developers discussed how the impoverished town could improve its image and boost its redevelopment potential.开发商们讨论了这个贫困小镇如何改善其形象,提高其重建潜力。3. tarnish/hurt/destroy sb's image 玷污/伤害/破坏某人的形象The Prime Minister never built his reputation by destroying government image.4. good/positive/strong image 良好/积极/有影响的形象5. a bad/poor/negative image 坏的/差的/负面的形象The town is still trying to cast off its bad image.6. sb's public/private/professional image 某人的公共/私人/职业形象These events give delegates the chance to network and improve their professional image.这些活动使代表们有机会建立关系网并改善其职业形象。 Imagine 是一个及物动词,顾名思义,有它的地方,后面都接宾语,意为“想象,设想”等;常见的宾语类型有,名词、宾语从句或非谓语动词,其中非谓语动词包括动名词和不定式,例如:Can you imagine how it feels to be blind?She imagined walking into the office and handing in her resignation.I had imagined her to be older than that. Imaginary,作形容词,意为“想象中的;幻想的;虚构的”,是从 imagine 衍生过来的,是十四个常见的形容词构词法中的一个,常用作前置定语,例如:As a child I had an imaginary friend.The story is set in an imaginary world. Imagination,作名词,意为“想象力,想象”等,也是从 imagine 衍生过来的,常用作不可数名词,其中后缀 -ation 常用来表示名词,类似的还有 combination,determination,excitation 和 explanation 等,例如:You’ve always had a very vivid imagination.His writing lacks imagination. 由此可见,这四个单词基本上没有可混淆的地方,因为它们的词性大部分不同,除了 image 和 imagination,但是它们的意思不一样,因此也应该不会被混淆。 您的支持最重要!!!如果您觉得这篇文章对您有帮助,请不要吝啬在右下角点“在看”和点赞。为了防止迷路,请设置为”星标“,我们将一如既往地输出更多优质的此类文章。
