  • 词义辨析
  • asleep, sleeping, sleepy
  • 这组词的意思不完全相同,它们的区别在于:
    1.asleep和sleepy主要用作表语。asleep的意思是“睡着”,而sleepy的意思是“想睡”。例如:
    The baby fell asleep; and I feel sleepy.孩子睡着了,我也犯困了。
    2.asleep, sleepy和sleeping都可用作定语,这时的意思也不相同。asleep表示“睡着的”, sleepy表示“贪睡的”,而sleeping除表示“睡着的”外,还可表示与睡眠有关的东西。试比较:
    a sleepy fellow
    一个贪睡的家伙
    a sleeping baby
    一个熟睡的婴儿
    a sleeping car
    卧车
    3.asleep一般作后置定语,只有在其前有修饰语时才可前置,而sleepy和sleeping作定语时则可前置。
  • be asleep, fall asleep
  • be asleep指睡着的状态,可以接表示延续性时间的状语; 而fall asleep指的是一时的动作。试比较下面两句:
    He has been asleep for three hours.
    他睡了三个小时。
    One after another, all of them fell asleep.
    那些人一个接一个地睡着了。
  • sleepy,asleep
  • 这两个形容词都含有“欲睡的”之意。
    sleepy最常用词,指人昏昏欲睡,或沉睡时的寂静状态。
    asleep作表语,多用于非正式的英语里,指处于睡着的状态,侧重动作的结果。
