请问下面各组词的用法区别:
southeast / southeastern
southwest / southwestern
northeast / northeastern
northwest / northwestern
求详细解答!谢谢!
【答】区别这4组跟区别其中一组,是一样的道理。我们就拿southeast和southeastern作一区别。
一、southeast有3种词性。
1. “方位”名词(之前有定冠词the):
The problem is not restricted to the southeast. 这个问题并不只存在于东南部。
The southeast of the country is the most densely populated area. 该国的东南部是人口最稠密的地区。
2. “方位”形容词(用作限定词修饰名词):
There is a garage in the southeast corner of his house. 他房子的东南角有一个车房。
They expect the antibiotic products to be exported to Southeast Asia and Africa. 他们希望向东南亚和非洲出口抗生素产品。
3. “方位”副词(修饰动词或其他成分):
This train would stop twice more in the suburbs before rolling southeast toward Munich. 火车向东南驶往慕尼黑前,会在郊区再停两站。
The village lies southeast of the mountain. 村庄位于大山的东南部。
【注意】判断southeast 的词性:之前有the 是名词;后面跟名词是形容词(仅作限定词用);修饰动词时是副词。
二、southeastern 是southeast 的形容词,用作形容词时,跟southeast 的意思相同,我特意找了两组相同的语境(见红色部分)。例如:
The southeastern corner under the water tank entirely collapsed. 水箱下东南角部分完全毁坏了。
That's good. We don't sell much in Southeastern Asia, do we? 这是好事。我们在东南亚的销售并不多,是吗?
偶尔用作名词,表示“东南方的人”。
What are the differences between westerns and easterns? 西方人和东方人的差别是什么?
