用法讲解
- devote的基本意思是因特殊用处或目的而心甘情愿地献出某物,即“把…奉献,把…专用于”,常表示由于如同起誓般紧迫的动机而放弃和献出。
- devote是及物动词,常接时间、精力、生命等抽象名词作宾语,而“专用”和“奉献”的对象则由介词to引出。
- 表示“忠于”“致力于”“献身于”时可用devote oneself to结构,也可用be devoted to结构。
- devote的过去分词devoted可用作形容词,在句中作定语或表语。
- devote, dedicate
-
- 这两个词的共同意思是“贡献,奉献”。其区别在于:devote强调从个人的热情或愿望出发去干某事, dedicate包含有devote的意思,但重点是指从事一种庄严的、正式的、神圣的事业或工作。例如:
- He devoted the whole night to light music.他整个晚上都在听轻音乐。
- He dedicated his life to training students.他毕生都在培养学生。
- dedicate，devote
-
- 这两个动词均有“奉献”之意。
- dedicate正式用词，指献身于某一崇高事业或目的，也可指把著作题献给他人。
- devote普通用词，指决心把全部身心、精力、时间等献给某一目标，某一个人或致力于某一事业。
