用法讲解

v. (动词)
  1. pretend的基本意思是“伪装”“假装”,强调明显地表露出是假的。多用作及物动词,可接名词、代词、动词不定式或that从句作宾语,还可接以形容词充当宾语补足语的复合宾语。
  2. pretend也可用作不及物动词,常与介词to连用,表示“自称应该享有(所有权、权利)或自称有才能、学问”等,也可表示“觊觎”。一般用于疑问句或否定句中。
  3. pretend在口语中还可接as if或like引导的从句,表示“装…的样子”,此时pretend用作系动词,从句的谓语动词要用陈述式。
v. (动词)
pretend, assume, feign
  • 1.feign和pretend作“假装”解时,可互换使用。
  • 2.pretend指佯装成某身份或伪装成正在做某事,其目的是出于嬉戏或欲欺骗他人,多用在坏的意味上; assume指为了掩饰自己而“假装”“装出”,通常指表面上的装腔作势,未必含有坏的意味; feign指作为借口或理由想避免危险、困难等而“伪称”“假装”“冒充”。
  • 3.pretend后可接动词不定式,也可接that从句。
  • 下面两个句子意思不同:
  • He didn't pretend to know.
  • 他没有假装知道。(其实不知道)
  • He pretended not to know.
  • 他假装不知道。(其实知道)
  • 用作动词 (v.)
    pretend to (v.+prep.)
