用法讲解

n. (名词)
  1. action的基本意思是“行动,活动”,指某一次行动的方式或过程,尤指为制止坏的局面发展或继续的行动、对他人来说是错误或不寻常的举止行为、激动人心的或重要的活动,往往占较长的时间,包括不同步骤或许多动作,其主语常为物,而不是人。action也可指进行中的“行为”,还可指故事、戏剧或电影的“情节”,药物或化学品等的“作用; 效果”,“战斗; 作战”等。
  2. action用作可数名词时,多用于复数形式。action的复数形式在泛指人的“行为”时,常与words相对应。
  3. action在表示戏剧或书中所发生的主要事件时,常用其单数形式,其前加定冠词the。
  4. action在有修饰语时可加不定冠词,但在take action中,即使有形容词修饰,也不加不定冠词。
v. (动词)
  1. action偶尔可用作动词,指“采取行动”或“采取措施”,含所采取的行动或措施是“适当的”意味。
  1. action与act区别:action常指持续,复杂的动作,而act则是短暂,简单的动作。如有人倒在地上,扶他起来,是act,若不但扶他起来,还帮他叫车,送他到家,那是action
