用法讲解

v. (动词)
  1. possess的基本意思是“占有,拥有”,指人或物具有某种品质、性质、能力或特征。其后可接有形的东西,也可接特点、能力、气质等抽象名词作宾语,总之,表示拥有好的东西。还可引申表示“受到某种感情支配”, possess是及物动词,接名词或代词作宾语,也可接以动词不定式充当补足语的复合宾语。
  2. possess作“占有”解,这个动词可以搭配反身代词。
  3. by possessed by〔with〕的意思是“(妖魔、情欲等)迷住,缠住”,常用于被动结构,强调施动者时用by,若不太强调被动的含义还可换用介词with。
  1. possess解释为“拥有,持有”,也可表示为“使……有”,而be possessed of则解释为“有……”。

    He is possessed of great learning.
    他有很强的学习能力。

  2. possess语气要比have重一些,只能用在好的东西上,而不用在坏的上。

    He possesses many good qualities.
    不能说成He possesses many faults.

v. (动词)
