用法讲解

adj. (形容词)
  1. apt的基本意思在于一种习惯的、经常的、内在的倾向性,多用于人,也可用于物,是表语形容词。
  2. be apt后接动词不定式往往含有消极的意味,如果主语是该不定式行为的对象,则该不定式要用被动结构。
  3. apt也可作“恰当的,适宜的”“聪明的,灵巧的”解。
  1. apt,liable和likely三个词意思相近,但用法上有出入:三个单词后都可接不定式,指“易于……”或“有……的倾向”。在英国,apt只适用于一般情形,不适用于特殊情形。用于一般情形时,apt常用在不好的或没趣的事,如apt to catch cold,apt to get into trouble等。liable 也用在不好的或没趣的事,但与apt不同的是它后面的不定式常指害及那句子的主语。liable同时适用于一般情形和特殊情形。likely同时适用于一般情形和特殊情形,且适用于不好的和好的事。同apt和liable相比,likely表达的可能性更大。

    I am apt to catch cold if I go out without my overcoat.
    I am apt to catch cold if I go out tonight without my overcoat.

    Damage is apt to be done.
    句中用apt,而非liable,因to be done不害及damage。

adj. (形容词)
apt, fit
  • 这两个词都有“合适的”“恰当的”意思。其区别是:
  • fit表示学得的能力适合,可指某人对于某项工作是合格的、能胜任的,还可指做某事是适当的; apt表示自然的或天生的倾向,含有主动的意味。例如:
  • He is physically fit to be an airman.他体格健康,适合当飞行员。
  • The ground is apt for the plow.这块地适于耕作。
  • apt, likely
  • 这两个词都有“有…可能的”意思。apt强调天生的或习惯性的倾向; likely则强调客观上某事有可能发生。
  • liable,apt,likely,prone,subject
  • 这些形容词均含“倾向于……的、易于……的”之意。
  • liable指易于产生某种不利的结果,侧重偶然性,常表示警告或提醒。
  • apt口语中常用,指自然的或习惯的倾向,无特殊的褒贬意味,常指在一般情况下发生的事。
  • likely侧重可能性,用于指将来,预言希望或所不希望的结果。
  • prone多用于人,着重其本性,或倾向于某种错误、弱点或不良行为等。
  • subject指确实可以察觉的倾向,也就是总结出来的规律。
  • 词源解说

    • ☆ 14世纪进入英语,直接源自拉丁语的aptus,意为适于。
