admit用法详解(3页).doc

-admit用法详解 一、表示“承认”1. admit一般为，直接跟宾语；表示向某人承认用 to。如：He admitted his mistake. 他承认了他的错误。He admitted to the teacher that he was wrong. 他向老师承认他错了。This meant admitting defeat. 这就意味着承认失败了。但有时也用作不，此时一般后接to。如：He admitted to the murder. 他供认了谋杀罪。He admitted to having taken the money. 他承认拿了那笔钱。由于 admit 表示“承认”可用作及物动词或不，所以上面各例中的 to 有时也可。2. admit后接动词时，要用而不用不定式。如：She admitted having read the letter. 她承认读过这封信。I admit breaking the window. 我承认打破了窗子。3. admit可后接带不定式的复合宾语，但其中的不定式通常应是 to be。如：They admitted him to be mad. 他们承认他疯了。You must admit the task to be difficult. 你们得承认任务是艰巨的。偶尔接其它形式的复合宾语。如：He admitted himself a failure. 他承认失败。He admitted himself beaten. 他承认输了。4. 有时用于插入语中。如：This, I admit, was wrong. 我承认这错了。 二、表示“允许进入”“使能进入”1. admit通常只用作。如：This ticket admits one person only. 此券只准一人入场。There were no windows to admit air. 没有窗子可使空气流入。可用于引申义，表示允许进入某一组织、机构、学校、团体等。如：They admitted him to into their organization. 他们接受他参加了他们的组织。How many students have been admitted into the school this year? 今年这所学校有多少学生入学?试比较 (注意不同)：He was admitted to into the Party. 他被吸收入党。He was admitted as a Party member. 他被接纳为党员。2. 往往含有动态意味，所以一般不与 enter, go in 之类的词连用。如：他打开门让我进了屋。正：He opened the door and admitted me into the house.误：He opened the door and admitted me to enter into the house.  三、用于 admit ofadmit of为习语，意为“容许”“有的可能”“有的余地”(此时句子主语通常是物而不是人)。如：The matter admits of no delay. 这事刻不容缓。The word admits of no other meaning in the case. 这个词在此例中不可能有别的意思。 四、两个派生词的用法1. admission n. 进入，入场 (不可数)；承认 (可数，但通常只用作)。如：No admission without tickets. 无票不准进入。Admission to into the school is by examination only. 进入该校学习必须通过考试。He made an admission that he was a thief. 他供认他是小偷。2. admittance n. 进入 (不可数)。有时可与 admission 互换，但不如 admission 常用。第 3 页-
