  • 词义辨析
  • become, be
  • become与be是常用的系动词。它们的区别是:
    1.become是非延续性动词,不可与表示延续性的时间状语连用; 而be则是延续性动词,可表示状态,能与表示延续性的时间状语连用。
    2.become不可用于被动结构; 而be则可用于被动结构。
    3.become不可接动词不定式; 而be则可接动词不定式。
  • become, come, go, grow, turn
  • 这组词都可用作系动词,表示“变成”。它们的区别是:
    1.come多指向好的方向转变; go往往指向坏的方面转变; become指向好的(也可指向坏的)方面发展, turn是正式用语,指向好的,也指向坏的方面转变。试比较:
    When did that style of dress come into fashion?
    那种式样的衣服是什么时候时兴的?
    When did that style of dress go out of fashion?
    那种式样的衣服是什么时候不时兴的?
    2.come的主语往往是人; become的主语可以是人或物; 而go的主语多是物。
    3.come的表语通常是形容词; become的表语可以是形容词、代词或名词(须加不定冠词); go和grow的表语为形容词; turn的表语可以是形容词或名词(不加不定冠词)。
  • become, go
  • 这两个词共同的意思是“变得”。它们的区别是:
    1.当表示人们感情上的变化时,通常用become; 指人的身体上的变化时,可用go或become。例如:
    He became aware of the gravity of the situation.他开始意识到情况的严重性。
    She became〔went〕 mad.她疯了。
    His mother became〔went〕 blind. 他母亲双目失明了。
    2.如果是事物起变化,则好的或希望得到的结果使用become,坏的或不受欢迎的结果使用go。例如:
    The milk went sour.牛奶变酸了。
    Fish soon goes bad in hot weather.热天鱼很快会坏。
    3.如果句子强调的不是变化本身,而是变化后的最终结果,通常用become,后面接一个表示结果的形容词。例如:
    He has become accustomed to his new duties.他对他的新职务已习惯了。
  • become, alter, change, convert, modify, turn, vary
  • 这组词共同的意思是“改变”“变化”。change和alter有时可以互换。例如:
    Whatever we do, we can't change〔alter〕 the facts.不管我们做什么,我们总不能改变事实。
    He has changed〔altered〕 a lot since I last saw him.自从上次见面到现在,他变了很多。
    The weather changes〔alters〕 almost daily.天气差不多天天在变。
    它们的区别是:
    1.change在这几个词中是最普遍、最不正式的一个,可用于任何变化的过程,而不论变化的性质和程度; alter指局部的、表面的、轻微的“改变”“改动”,修改后仍基本上保持原状; alter和convert都指形式和用途上的局部微小改变; turn指彻底改变,以至面目全非,且常用于朝坏的方向改变; modify指限定在一定范围内的修改或修饰,以使之更完美; vary则指事物或其一部分暂时地或反复地变化,从而使事物各部分呈现不同外貌和特点。例如:
    When matter changes to a substance different from what it was, the change is a chemical change.当物质变成和原来不同的物质时,这种变化是化学变化。
    The plan is O.K. at large, but I suggest it be altered.该计划总的来说是可以的,但我建议做进一步修改。
    Pressure varies directly with temperature and inversely with volume.压力随温度成正比例变化,与容积成反比例变化。
    All the bank bill was converted into cash.所有的银行票据都兑换成了现金。
    Those who were once for him have turned against him.那些原来支持他的人现在转而反对他。
    The newspaper turned against the president.该报转而攻击总统。
    After he left the university, he became a teacher, but he later turned to translation.他大学毕业后当了教师,但后来转向翻译工作。
    2.convert可指改变信仰,尤其是宗教信仰; modify指态度变温和。例如:
    He has converted from Buddhism to Catholicism.他已放弃佛教改信天主教了。
    You'd better modify your tone.你最好缓和一下你的口气。
    He will have to modify his views if he wants to be elected.他如果想当选,就得把观点变得明朗些。
  • become, turn into
  • 这两个词(组)共同的意思是“变成”。它们的区别是:
    become着重目前状态; turn into着重改变用途。例如:
    The storeroom has become a workshop.
    库房成了车间了。
    The storeroom has been turned into a workshop.
    库房变成了车间。
  • become,get,grow,turn,go,come
  • 这些动词都可表示“变成,成为”之意。
    become最普通用词,作为连系动词,指从一个状态向另一个状态的变化。
    get常指某人或某物有意无意地获得引起变化的因素,结果使变成另一状态。
    grow常指逐渐地变成新状态,强调渐变的过程。
    turn侧重指变得与原来截然不同,有时含贬义。
    go作为连系动词,通常与形容词连用,指进入某种状态,从而发生变化,多指不好的状态。
    come侧重变化的经过或过程,多用于不良情况。
