remain的用法
一、 用作聯(lián)系動(dòng)詞,指某人或某事物仍保持某種狀態(tài),意為“仍然;依舊”,“留;呆;住;待”,后面可接名詞、代詞、形容詞、介詞短語、分詞作表語.
1.接名詞作表語
It remained a secret.這仍然是個(gè)秘密.
Peter became a manager,but Jack remained a worker.彼得成為了一個(gè)經(jīng)理,而杰克仍然是個(gè)工人.
2.接介詞短語作表語
He had to remain in hospital until he was better.他不得不一直住院直到身體好些.
3.接形容詞作表語
Whatever achievements you’ve made,you should remain modest.無論你取得多么大的成就,你都該保持謙虛.
4.接分詞作表語
接過去分詞作表語,表示主語所處的狀態(tài)或已經(jīng)發(fā)生的被動(dòng)動(dòng)作;現(xiàn)在分詞作表語,表示正在進(jìn)行的主動(dòng)動(dòng)作.
The guests came in,but she remained sitting at the desk reading.客人們都來了,但她還坐在寫字臺(tái)旁讀書.
As before,he remained unmoved.他和以往一樣無動(dòng)于衷.
二、用作不及物動(dòng)詞,意思是“剩下;剩余;遺留”,此時(shí)不能用進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài),也沒有被動(dòng)語態(tài).
After the fire,very little remained of his house.火災(zāi)過后,他的家所剩無幾.
After the earthquake,very little remained of the city of Tangshan.地震過后,唐山這座城市所剩無幾.
三、指某事“尚待、有待于以后被處置”,后面常接不定式的被動(dòng)形式,表示主語是不定式的承受者.
Many problems remain to be solved.有好多問題尚待解決.
It remains to be seen whether you are right.你是否正確,以后見分曉.
四、remain作名詞
remain作名詞時(shí)表示“剩余物”,一般用其復(fù)數(shù)形式.例如:
The archeologists found some remains of the Song Dynasty.考古學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn)了一些宋代遺跡.
五、remaining的用法
remaining是形容詞,意為“剩余的”,常作前置定語;而left則只能作后置定語.例如:
There are still some apples left.還剩余一些蘋果.
I bought a gift for her with the remaining money.我用剩余的錢給她買了一件禮物.不錯(cuò)吧 選我吧
