用法讲解
- consist的基本意思是“某物由…组成”,是不及物动词。其后常接of短语表示其构成情况,且只用于一般时态,不用于进行体和完成体,也不用于被动结构。
- consist还常与in, with连用。与in连用表示“以…为要素”“主要在于”; 与with连用表示“和…一致”“并存”。
-
consist of/in/with这三者各不相同：consist of 意为“由……组成，构成”。consist in意为“在于”或“存在于”。consist with意为“与……并存，或一致”。

- 2.compose偶尔也用于主动结构,其主语通常为复数名词或集合名词。
- compose，comprise，consist，constitute
-
- 这些动词均含“组成，构成”之意。
- compose正式用词，多用被动态。指将两个或两个以上的人或物放到一起形成一个整体。
- comprise正式用词，指整体是由几个独立的部分所组成。
- consist与of连用，指一个整体由几个部分组成，或由某些材料构成。
