词语用法

v.(动词)
    pretend的基本意思是“伪装”“假装”,强调明显地表露出是假的。多用作及物动词,可接名词、代词、动词不定式或that从句作宾语,还可接以形容词充当宾语补足语的复合宾语。 pretend也可用作不及物动词,常与介词to连用,表示“自称应该享有(所有权、权利)或自称有才能、学问”等,也可表示“觊觎”。一般用于疑问句或否定句中。 pretend在口语中还可接as if或like引导的从句,表示“装…的样子”,此时pretend用作系动词,从句的谓语动词要用陈述式。

常见错误

v.(动词)
  1. 当我走进房间时,她假装在读一本小说。

    She pretended reading a novel when I came into the room.

    She pretended to be reading a novel when I came into the room.

    pretend作为及物动词可以接动词不定式,但不可以接动名词作宾语。

    他母亲进来时,他假装在做作业。

    When his mother came in, he pretended to do his homework.

    When his mother came in, he pretended to be doing his homework.

    pretend后的不定式有时须用进行或完成时态来表达“假装正在做”或“假装已做了…”。
