v.(动词)

play的基本意思是指为了消遣和娱乐而进行身体的或精神的活动,即“玩,玩耍”,也可指与某人进行一场比赛,即“参加比赛”。play还可指“演奏乐器”。引申可指“开某人的玩笑”“扮演”“播放”“(泉水等)喷出”等意思。

play可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时接表示球或乐器等名词、代词或that从句作宾语。有时还可接双宾语,其间接宾语可转化成介词to或for的宾语,还可接由“(as+) n./adj. ”充当补足语的复合宾语。可用于被动结构。play还可用作系动词,后接形容词或名词作表语。

当play后接名词用于演出中作“扮演”解时,一般析为及物动词; 作“假装…玩”解时,常析为系动词。

play作“玩,玩耍”解时一般用于儿童,而很少用于成年人。当play作“演奏”解时,不用于打击乐器(如锣、鼓等)。

play后接表示球类或牌等名词时,其前不加冠词the; 而接乐器时则必须加冠词the,在美式英语中the有时也可以省略。当play用于一般现在时时,宾语前不加冠词,表示经常或定期进行某项娱乐或活动。

play的进行体可表示按计划或安排即将发生的动作,此时句中一般伴有表示将来时间的状语或特定的上下文。

在非正式书面语体中, play有时能以表示乐器的名词作主语,作“演奏”解,其主动形式含有被动意义。

n.(名词)

play用作名词时意思是“游戏,玩耍”,指儿童用以玩乐而进行的各项活动。play也可指各种体育项目,即“比赛,竞赛,运动”,既可表示一次具体的“比赛”,也可表示在比赛中的“表现或作风”或“比赛中的动作或技巧”。play还可指“戏剧,剧本”。play引申可指“活动,作用,相互的影响”“活动的范围或余地”“闪动,浮动”“赌博”“机会”等。

play通常用作不可数名词,但在作“比赛的动作或技巧”解时可用作可数名词,一般其前都有一个形容词修饰。play作“戏剧,剧本”解时可用作可数名词。

v.(动词)

play, play at

这两个词(组)都可以表示“玩”,在多数情况下可以互换使用。其区别是：

1.有些运动如golf, football或cricket一般不可用play at。例如:

We are playing golf.我们正在打高尔夫球。

2.从前说play at cards〔chess,billiards〕等,现在一般不用play at,而用play。例如:

Do you like to play cards?你愿意玩牌吗?但如果比赛的对象或玩的伙伴为play的宾语时, at则不可省略。例如:

Will you play me at chess?你愿意和我下象棋吗?

3.to play tennis强调宾语:打网球; 而to play at tennis侧重动词:以打网球消遣,打网球玩。

4.在现代英语中,指成年人扮演角色时通常用play,而指孩子的模仿时常用play at。例如:

The children played at soldiers.孩子们模仿士兵。

The men play soldiers.成年人扮演士兵角色。

n.(名词)

play ball with, collaborate with, cooperate with, team up with

这组短语都表示“与…合作”的意思。其区别在于:

cooperate是一般用语,强调“自愿”; collaborate有明显的感情色彩,与同伙人合作含褒义,与敌方合作表示“通敌”,含贬义; play ball with是非正式用法,多用于表示“狼狈为奸”; team up with则表示组成一个队或组共同做某事。

v.(动词)有空请到我家来玩。

误

Please come to my home and play when you have time.

正

Please come and see me when you have time.
那天晚上他们玩得热闹极了。

误

That evening they played very enthusiastically.

正

误

正

析

在现代英语中, play用作不及物动词表示“玩”时,几乎只能用于儿童、动物或用于玩笑口吻中。不可把汉语“玩”一律译成play。

☆ 直接源自古英语的plegian，意为快速移动；最初源自日耳曼语西支的plegan，意为繁忙。
