词语用法

v.(动词)
    afford的基本含义是“充足”,指“有足够的钱买某物”“有足够的财力或时间做某事”,也可以表示“经受得起”; 引申可表示“提供”“给予”。 afford表示“有足够的钱买某物”时, afford可以接物作宾语,也可以接“to buy sth ”作宾语,前者可看作是省略to buy的句型,前者较后者更常用些。 afford表示“有足够的财力或时间做某事”。afford的宾语可以是time(一般不省略),也可以是expense,还可以是time and money,但一般不单独用money。 afford还可作“经受得起”解,可用于财政状况,健康状况或者形象、声誉等,其宾语一般为动词不定式或表示动作的名词,不接反身代词作宾语。 afford作“提供”“给予”解时,属正式文体,指自然产生或法律上的后果,多接双宾语,其后的直接宾语多为抽象名词。其主语可以是人,也可以是物或事物,其间接宾语可转化为介词to的宾语。 afford多用于疑问句或否定句,常与can, could, be able to等连用。用于否定句时,意思是“经不起(发生某事或做某事)”,含尽力“避免发生”或“避免做”的意味。 afford不用于进行体和完成体,作“买得起,花得起,经得起”解时不用于被动结构。

常见错误

v.(动词)
  1. 汽车之贵,非富户不敢问津。

    误 Motor-cars are so expensive that can be afforded only by the very rich.

    正 Motor-cars are so expensive that only the very rich can afford to buy them.

    析afford作“买得起”“花得起”“经得起”解时,不用于被动结构。

    我父亲拿不出钱借给我。

    误 My father couldnt afford himself to lend me any money.

    正 My father couldnt afford to lend me any money.

    析afford不可接反身代词作宾语。

    他抽不出时间去度假。

    误 He couldnt afford going away on a holiday.

    正 He couldnt afford to go away on a holiday.

    析afford后不可接动名词。
