n.(名词)

desert的基本意思是“沙漠”,指全部被沙子覆盖、很少下雨和少有植物生长的地方。也可指“像沙漠一样荒芜的地方”。可充当不可数名词,也可作可数名词,“一片沙漠”是a desert,“多片沙漠”是deserts。用作比喻可作“荒凉的境界”解,是不可数名词。desert还可作“应得到的事物”解,作此解时常用复数形式。

desert的重音在第一个音节。

desert前一般要有定冠词the,在作“沙漠地区”解时,前面的介词通常用in。

v.(动词)

desert用作及物动词意思是“抛弃,遗弃”,强调违背允诺、誓言,或逃避责任等,通常指永久的遗弃,并含有过失之义,后面接名词或代词作宾语,可用于被动结构。

desert用作不及物动词时,意思为“开小差,逃亡”。

desert引申可表示“(在需要的时候)失去…”,作此解时,其宾语总是人,其主语通常是被失去的表示抽象意义的名词短语。

desert的过去分词deserted可用作形容词,在句中作定语。

desert用作动词时重音在第二个音节上。

v.(动词)

desert from, desert to

desert from的意思是“逃出,逃离”; 而desert to的意思是“投向”。试比较:

Many soldiers have deserted from the army.

许多士兵逃离了部队。

Many soldiers have deserted to the enemy.

许多士兵已投降了敌人。

☆ 14世纪晚期进入英语，直接源自古法语的deserter；最初源自古典拉丁语的deserere：de (取消） + serere (加入），意为放弃。
