happen

[ˈhæpən]
  • 释义

  • 发生，出现;遭到;碰巧;

  • 词义辨析
  • happen to sb, happen with sb
  • 这两者都是“某人发生了某事”的意思,前者可指坏事,也可指好事; 而后者多指坏事。试比较:
    What's happened to her?
    她怎么了?
    What's happened with her?
    她出什么事了?
  • happen, occur, take place
  • 这三者都可作“发生”解。它们的区别是:
    1.happen和occur往往表示事情的发生带有偶然性, happen是一般用语, occur是较正式用语; take place常指按计划“发生”。例如:
    The explosion happened〔occurred〕 during an exercise near the town.在离市镇不远的地方演习时发生了爆炸。
    The talk is scheduled to take place tomorrow morning at eight o'clock.预定明早8时举行会谈。
    2.当表示具体事情的名词作主语时,用happen和occur都可,如果不是表示具体事情的词则多用happen。在否定句里一般用occur。例如:
    These events happened〔occured〕 last year.这些事是去年发生的。
    What happened after I left?我走后发生了什么事情?
    It didn't occur to him to ask for help.他没想到请别人帮忙。
  • 下面两个句子意思不同:
  • It happens that I am there.
    碰巧我在那里。
    It so happens that I am there.
    事情发生得那么凑巧,我在那里。
    第1句中的it是形式主语,第2句中的it是第三人称代词,相当于the thing。
  • occur，happen，take place
  • 三者都表示“发生”，都是不及物动词。
    occur指“发生”时可与 happen 换用，但后接to sb．／sth．时，两者含义不同：；occur to sb．／sth． 指“某种思想等呈现于某人的知觉中”。
    happen指“偶然发生”时，主语为“事”；当主语是“人”时，意为“碰巧”。happen to sb．／sth． 指不好的事情发生在某人（物）身上。
    take place表示“发生”，可与 happen 或occur换用，但其后面一般不接 to sb．／sth．结构；指必然会发生的事情时，多用 take place；此外take place 还可表示“举行某种活动”。
