  • 词义辨析
  • drive, fly, pilot, ride, steer
  • 这五个词都可表示“驾驶”。它们的区别是:
    开汽车时用drive; 驾驶轮船用pilot; 骑自行车用ride; 如果表示操纵汽车、轮船或自行车的方向,就用steer; 但谈及飞机时, fly和pilot这两个既可表示“驾驶”又表示操纵飞机的方向。例如:
    He was driving car along the road.他沿着马路行驶。
    Can you ride a bicycle?你会骑自行车吗?
    He was the first man ever to fly that type of aircraft.他是驾驶那种飞机的第一人。
    She steered with one hand while trying to adjust the rear-view mirror with the other.她用一只手操纵方向盘,而用另一只手调整后视镜。
    He piloted a ship through the canal.他引领着船只通过运河。
  • drive, cause
  • drive和cause都可译作“迫使”“使得”。它们的区别在于其用法不同:cause只能以动词不定式作宾语补足语,而drive除可用动词不定式作宾语补足语外,还可接形容词或介词短语作宾语补足语。例如:
    His illness caused him to miss the game.
    他的病使他错过了比赛。
    The noise outside the building nearly drove me mad.
    楼外的噪音几乎使我发疯。
    You must drive your advice into his head again.
    你必须把你的忠告再一次灌输给他。
  • drive in, ride in
  • drive in和ride in都表示“乘车”。它们的区别是:
    drive in后面跟的“车”通常是完全或部分地由自己管理的车或自己开的车,而ride in后面跟的“车”则通常指并不属于自己管理,也不是自己开的车。例如:
    They drove back in a grey car.
    他们开着一辆灰色轿车回去了。
    They were riding in a bus when this hap- pened.
    出事时,他们正坐在一辆公共汽车里。
  • drive, actuate, move, prompt
  • 这组词均有促使某人按某种方式行动的意思。它们的区别是:
    move为一般用语,不强调动因是外部力量还是个人的动机; actuate为正式用语,动因来自一种强大的内在力量,如强烈的感情、欲望或信念; drive指持续不断地向前推进,或指受内力或外力的驱使; prompt多用于动因不太重要的场合。例如:
    He is actuated not by kindness but by ambition.他并非出于好心,而是出于个人野心。
    They drove to the station.他们开车到车站去。
    The sight of the ships prompted thoughts of his distant home.看到船他便想起遥远的故乡。
  • drive, walk
  • 这两个词都可表示“路程”。它们的区别是:
    drive指“乘车所需时间”的路程; walk则指“步行所需时间”的路程。例如:
    The hotel is 10-minute walk from here.
    饭店离这儿有步行10分钟的路程。
    The hotel is a half-hour drive from the centre of the city.
    从饭店驱车到市中心有半小时的路程。
  • drive,ride
  • 这两个动词都含有“乘、骑”之意。
    drive指乘坐在有轮子的交通工具之内,控制其行驶。
    ride通常指骑在车、马上行驶。
  • motivate,drive,prompt
  • 这些动词都含“促使、驱使”之意。
    motivate强调驱使人们采取行动的原因或动机。
    drive侧重外来的驱策力和内心的感情力量的驱使。
    prompt与motivate近义,强调起因。
