                sign的基本意思是“标记,符号”,指写在或刻画在物体上的,代表具有固定意义的一种简明的符号或标志,使人一看便知道它所代表的意义。sign引申可作“手势,姿势”“信号”“征兆,迹象”解。

                sign后常接of短语作定语,有时还可接动词不定式或that从句作定语。

                v.(动词)

                sign用作名词时有“记号”的意思,转化为动词可作“签名”解,一般指人在文件、信件上签署自己的名字; sign作名词还可作“手势”解,转化为动词则是“做手势”的意思,指由于某种原因不能用语言表达或不想用口头方式交流的情况下用手势来表达某种意图。

                sign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、that从句作宾语,还可接以动词不定式充当宾语补足语的复合宾语。

                sign作“签名,签字”解时可用于被动结构,作“发信号,做手势”解时不用于被动结构。

                sign接以动词不定式充当宾语补足语的复合宾语时,充当宾语的名词或代词前有时可加介词for或to。在sign接that从句作宾语的句子中也可加上to sb。

                n.(名词)

                sign, mark, symbol, token

                这组词都可表示“符号,标志”。其区别是:

                1.symbol指作为象征或表达某种深邃意义的特殊事物; sign指代表具有固定意义的一种简明的符号或标志; mark指在其他事物上留下的清晰可见的印痕或先天固有的标志; token指表示爱情、友谊等的纪念物或礼品等。例如:

                She had a silver peace symbol hanging on a chain around her neck.她有一个银制的和平标志挂在项链上。

                She put her finger to her lips as a sign to be quiet.她将手指放在唇上表示应安静。

                He gave his wife a ring as a token of his love.他给他爱人一枚戒指,作为爱情的象征。

                2.sign与symbol相比较, sign的含义简单明了,容易体察,而symbol却含义深邃复杂。例如:

                I could not write my name, so I made the sign of the cross.我不会写我的名字,就画了一个十字。

                3.token和sign的意思相同,但token比sign庄严文雅,通常用于严肃的场合,在一般情况下可以用sign代替。例如:

                Jenny's husband gave her a ring as a token of their first meeting.珍妮的丈夫送她一枚戒指纪念他们的初次见面。

                v.(动词)

                下面各组中两个句子的意思相同:

                Sign your name to the paper, please.

                Sign the paper, please.

                请在文件上签名。

                The policeman signed for me to stop.

                The policeman signed me to stop.

                警察示意我停下来。

                n.(名词)这袜子看得出已经穿旧了。

                The stockings show sign of wear.

                The stockings show signs of wear.

                show signs of(表示“显出…的迹象”)一语中, sign习惯用复数。

                ☆ 13世纪初期进入英语,直接源自古法语的signe,意为记号;最初源自原始印欧语的sekw,意为指出。
