begs
基本解释
- v.恳求;乞讨
- abbr.开始(=begin)
词源解说
- 直接源自古法语的begard,意为乞丐。
用法辨析
- beg的基本意思是指谦卑地、甚至低三下四地“乞求”“恳求”,可乞求生活必需品如饭、钱等,也可恳求其他非物质的东西,也可表示“祈求”某事物。
- beg可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词。用作及物动词时可接名词、代词、动词不定式(短语)或that从句作宾语,也可接以动词不定式充当补足语的复合宾语。
- beg后不可用于“beg+sb+sth”句型。表物宾语可用介词for引出; 表人宾语则可用介词of引出。
- beg后接that从句时,从句表示希望或愿望,其谓语动词多由will或may构成,也可用虚拟式。
- beg也可引出直接引语。
- beg和beg for意为“请求”时,比ask和ask for语气要重。用boon,favour,leave,pardon,forgiveness和permission等词和施舍物时,多与beg搭配;
- 可以存在She begged him to...,She begged of him to...或She begged that...等表达方式;
- beg (leave) to state,beg (leave) to acknowledge,beg (leave) to inform等词都是较为礼貌的用法,一般作为商业信函中的客套语,在普通信函中尽量少用;
v. (动词)
