英語(yǔ)單詞means用法易錯點(diǎn)
means是可數名詞意為“方法”、“手段”、“收入”、“財富”,需要注意的一點(diǎn)是means是單復同形詞。有by all means(可以;當然行;沒(méi)問(wèn)題),by no means(絕不;一點(diǎn)也不)等用法。下面小編講解means用法的易錯點(diǎn),歡迎參考!
有這樣一道題,請看看:
Every possible means ________ been tried,and we find only ________ this means can we do it well.
A. have,in B. have,by C. has,in D. has,by
此題應選 D。其余幾項均容易被誤選。這里主要涉及名詞means(方式,方法,手段)的用法與搭配:
1. 單復數同形(永遠有詞尾-s)。若用作主語(yǔ),其謂語(yǔ)的數需根據句意來(lái)確定。比較:
All possible means have been tried. 所有可能的辦法都已經(jīng)試過(guò)了。
Every possible means has been tried. 每種可能的辦法都已經(jīng)試過(guò)了。
若句意不能明確地表明主語(yǔ)的單復數,其謂語(yǔ)則用單數或復數均可:
Is [Are] there any other means of doing it? 做這事還有其他的什么辦法嗎?
2. 表示以某種方式、方法或手段,用介詞by:
Only by this means can you do it well. 只有通過(guò)這種辦法你才能做好此事。
有時(shí)用 by means of,意為:用……,依靠……:
Thoughts are expressed by means of words. 思想靠語(yǔ)言來(lái)表達。
3. 表示做某事的方法或手段,多接“of+(動(dòng))名詞”:
But they had no means of cooking them. 但是他們沒(méi)有辦法來(lái)把它們煮熟。
Taking a plane is the quickest means of getting there. 去那兒最快的辦法是坐飛機。

你有沒(méi)有任何身份證件?
。4)We needed to get to London but we had no means of transport.
我們需要趕往倫敦,但卻沒(méi)有任何交通工具。
means作名詞復數講意為“財富”、“錢(qián)財”
。1)People should pay according to their means.
人們應該按照各自的負擔能力來(lái)消費。
