词语用法

v.(动词)

tell的基本意思是用语言或文字“告知”“告诉”“讲述”某事,强调思想的表达,而不强调表达的方式。引申可表示“吩咐”“嘱托”“命令”“确定”“区分,辨别”“泄露秘密”“猜测”“产生效果”等。 tell可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词。用作及物动词时,接名词、代词、带疑问词的动词不定式或wh-从句作宾语。也可接双宾语,其直接宾语可以是名词或代词,也可以是带疑问词的动词不定式或that/wh-从句,其间接宾语可以转化为介词to的宾语。 tell作“吩咐”解时,还可接以动词不定式充当补足语的复合宾语。 tell可用于被动结构。 tell在非正式语体中可以引出直接引语。

v.(动词)

误 Telling the truth,I'm not very interested in going to the show.
正 To tell the truth,I'm not very interested in going to the show.
析 to tell the truth常在句中作插入语,这是一种固定表达方式,不用分词短语。

误 As I spoke to you yesterday, he got up to speak and said nothing at the meeting.
