用法讲解

n. (名词)
  1. air的基本意思是“空气,空中,天空”,引申可表示“飞行,散步”等。air作物质名词泛指“空气”时,不可数,不用冠词; 指某种具体的“气”或“天空”时用冠词。
  2. air也可作“曲调,歌曲,旋律”“播送”“风度,神态”“姿态,架子”解,是可数名词,用冠词。
  3. air也可借喻作“徒劳”或“流传,传开”解,不用冠词。
  4. airs可表示“架子”“做作的姿态”,不用冠词。
v. (动词)
  1. air用作动词的基本意思是“晾,晒,吹”,指在通风暖和处晾〔晒,吹〕衣服、被子等。引申可作“炫耀; 诉说”解,指炫耀〔诉说〕自己的想法或苦衷。
  2. air可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时接名词或代词作宾语。
  3. air后接副词out表示“通通风,透透空气,晾一晾”。
  1. 指“空气”时,air前通常不加the,只在the air we breathe等表达中才用the。特指“空中”时,air前加the, 而by air不用the。

    We can now travel by air.
    句中的by若改成through,则该加the。

  2. take air指“传开”,take the air指“到户外”,take to the air指“开始飞行”,in the air指“在空中”,而in the open air指“户外,露天”。

    Many birds are flying in the air.
    I am going out for a walk in the open air.

  3. air指“天空”时,要注意与sky的区别,像句子The moon is in the air就是错误的,air应该替换成sky;

    She is on/over the air.
    她正在广播。

n. (名词)
in the air, in the open air, on the air

    n. (名词)
      别对我摆架子!
