用法讲解
- careless的基本意思指人时是“粗心的”“草率的”,指事物时表示“不用心的”。引申可指“随便的”“自然的”,在句中可用作定语或表语。
- careless与of连用时表示“不关心的”“淡漠的”,其后多接具体名词。在句中多用作表语。
- careless表示“做某事不细心”时接“in+ v -ing”; 表示“不小心做错了某事”时接动词不定式。
- careless about, careless of
-
- 这两个短语含义并不相同,前者意为“漫不经心”,后者意为“不在乎”。试比较:
- My wife is careless about her clothes.
- 我妻子对衣着漫不经心。
- (对要穿什么衣服漫不经心)
- My wife is careless of her clothes.
- 我妻子对衣着不介意。
- (对穿着什么衣服不介意)
- careless, carefree
-
- 二者均可表示“无忧无虑的”。其区别在于:careless更强调人们从主观上所采取的“无忧无虑”的态度,多用作褒义词; 而carefree则仅从事物的客观状态上描述,多用作贬义词。例如:
- On a fine spring day like this,I feel quite carefree.在这样一个春光明媚的日子,我感觉无忧无虑。
