容易混淆的形容詞和副詞
形容詞用來修飾名詞;副詞用來修飾動詞、形容詞、其他副詞或整個句子。可是,有時形容詞和副詞容易混淆。例如「a fast train reached the destination fast」中的第乙個「fast」是形容詞,第二個就是副詞。
此外,有些詞既能是形容詞,也能是副詞,有些詞義不變,另些詞義不同;有些形容詞加上字尾「-ly」構成的副詞和原來的形容詞意思相近,但有一些意義則相差甚遠;更有些形容詞,除自己本身能兼而充當副詞之外,又可以再加上字尾「-ly」構成派生副詞,若不小心,容易引起混淆。
下面分別舉例說明:
⑴可作形容詞又可作副詞,詞義不同如:
①a. joelle is a pretty child.(形容詞)
b. tom will be back pretty soon.(副詞)
②a. the old man has been ill for some time.(形容詞)
b. don't speak ill of others.(副詞)
⑵既是形容詞,也是副詞,句子中的語法功能不同,但意義一樣,如:
③a. what a deep ocean it is !(深的)
b. the boy dug deep into the ground.(深)
④a. look at the high mountain!(高的)
b. birds fly high in the sky.(高)
⑶形容詞可以充當副詞,又可以加上字尾,構成派生副詞。在某些場合,兩者相近,可以通用(如例⑤和⑥);在另一些場合裡,兩者意思有異,不可混為一談(如例⑦和⑧):
⑤a. hold it tight, please!
b. hold it tightly, please!
⑥a. please read slower.
b. please read more slowly.
⑦a. john came late yesterday.(遲)
b. john has been working hard lately.(最近)
⑧a. jason works hard.(努力地)
b. susan hardly works.(幾乎不)
⑷有些形容詞或副詞,同時有多個意思,如:
⑨a. hard labour(苦工)
b. hard times(艱難時代)
⑩a. the baby is fast asleep.(睡得熟)
b. run fast, please!( 請快跑)
c. hold the rope fast!(緊握繩索)
⑸同詞根的派生形容詞和形容詞及分詞間,意思雖甚接近,但容易引起混亂,如:
11a. the child is sleepy.(昏昏欲睡)
b. the child is still asleep.(還在睡眠中)
c. why are you looking at the sleeping child?(睡著的)
12a. diana feels lonely/ lonesome in the big house.(感到寂寞)
b. mary was alone in the office last night.(獨自)
13a. irene was awake the whole night last night.(整夜未眠)
b. tom had a wakeful night last night.(整夜未眠)
c. what did you do during your waking hours last night?(醒著的時刻)
(a)和(b)意思相近,但(a)的 awake 只能作補足語;(b)的 wakeful 則沒有這個侷限。(c)裡的waking 現在分詞和(a)及(b)的兩個形容詞也似同非同,不易隨意取代。
在英語中,某些形容詞詞形同時也可作副詞,但這些形容詞還有加字尾-ly 副詞的形式,因此這類詞就有兩種副詞形式,它們在用法上有些可以互換, 有些是有區別,下面筆者對這類詞做一總結。
一般地說,可以互換的這類詞,形容詞詞形的副詞表示比較具體的概念, 經常用語口語中,不太正式;字尾-ly形式的副詞,表示比較抽象的概念,有引申義,並有一定感**彩,變副詞比較級時,用此類副詞,如修飾動詞和分詞,放在它們前面。
