用法讲解
- depend的基本意思是“吊”“悬”“挂”,作“依赖于”“依靠”解时主要指某种要出现的情况、未知的事实及待作出的决定等有关的事物的不确定性。引申可指信心十足或对某人充分相信。
- depend多与on〔upon〕连用,只有当主语是it/that时,才可省略on〔upon〕,且只能接疑问词从句,其他情况都用作普通不及物动词。
- It all depends或That depends表示“这很难说”“得看情况”。
- 在口语中,作为开场白或结束语的depend upon〔on〕 it意思是“无须怀疑”“我敢说”,可以看成是省略了you may〔can〕...。
- depend on, rely on
-
- 这两者都表示“依靠”。其区别是：
- 1.depend on强调从这个人或这件事中很可能得到支持或帮助,而rely on强调凭以往的经验来判断是否可以相信或依赖。例如:
- The success of the meeting depends largely on whether the chairman is efficient.
- 这个会议的成功很大程度上是依靠了 主席的能力。
- They cannot be relied on to offer much support.
- 他们不指望得到更多的支持。
- 2.depend on着重指客观事实,诸如能力、财力等不得不“依靠”或“指望”; rely on常侧重从人品、感情方面“依赖”“信赖”。例如:
- My wife and children depend on me.
- 我的妻子和孩子都得依靠我。
- One can always rely on him to be polite and do the right thing.
- 人们都相信他会彬彬有礼,行事得体。
- depend, bank, reckon, rely, trust
-
- 这组词都可表示“寄托充分信任”。其区别是：
- rely一般指根据以往的经验而指望某人不会辜负希望或期待某事不落空; trust强调毫无保留地确信某人或某事在任何情况下都可靠,这种信任感不是来自经验或证据,而是凭直觉或感情,因此有可能落空; depend专指由于自身能力不足或缺乏自信心而依赖别人给予帮助或支持,同时主观认为这种依赖不会遭到拒绝; reckon指对人或物寄托主观的期待或指望,暗示怀有比depend更强的自信心; bank主要用于口语中,喻义强烈的信赖,就像充分相信银行一样。
- depend, hang, hinge, turn
-
- 这组词都可表示“依赖”“依…而定”。其区别是：
- depend侧重思想上的悬念,无法进行预测,常指对某物的未来情景捉摸不定; hinge侧重思想上的悬念; hang不太侧重事件的捉摸不定或没把握的成功等; turn侧重旋转和对变化的、偶然的东西的依赖。例如:
- Whether he goes back to jail depends on whether he violates parole.他是否重回监狱得看他假释期是否犯罪而定。
- Everything hinges on where we go next.一切要看我们下一步去哪里而定。
- The future of the company hangs on the outcome of his meeting.公司的前途取决于这次会议的结果。

- depend，rely
