taste 后面有时不接介词,有时接介词(of, like),那有区别吗?
我举三个例子,请专家指点它们的区别:
This drink tastes sherry.
This drink tastes of sherry.
This drink tastes like sherry.
taste 后接形容词时,不用介词。例如:This tastes delicious. 这味道鲜美。(摘自《薄冰英语惯用法词典》)
1. taste of ...的意思是“有......的味道”,taste of 后接名词。例如:The water tasted strongly of chemicals.这水尝起来有一股浓浓的化学品味道。(摘自《牛津英语搭配词典》第2版)
2. tastes like ...的意思是“尝起来像......”,tastes like 后接名词。例如:The fruit tasted rather like mango. 这种水果味道很像芒果。(摘自《牛津英语搭配词典》第2版)
3. sherry 是名词。所以:
This drink tastes sherry.(错误)
This drink tastes of sherry.(正确)
This drink tastes like sherry.(正确)
我举三个例子,请专家指点它们的区别:
1. This drink tastes sherry.
2. This drink tastes of sherry.
3. This drink tastes like sherry.
【答】sherry 是名词“雪利酒”(葡萄酒的一种),第1句不正确。
第2、3句正确。意思基本差不多,都表示味道,但略有区别:
2. This drink tastes of sherry. 这饮料尝起来有雪利酒的味道。
3. This drink tastes like sherry. 这饮料尝起来像雪利酒。
【讲解】
关于taste的用法,英语词典都作了详尽的讲解。主要有两种意思:
1.“品尝”,是及物动词后跟宾语:
He finished his aperitif and tasted the wine the waiter had produced.喝完开胃酒,又尝了点侍者端来的葡萄酒。
Before proceeding any further, cut off a small bit of the meat and taste it.在进行下一步之前,先切一小块肉尝尝。
2.“尝起来”,是系动词(不及物动词)。主要有如下用法:
(1) taste + 形容词:尝起来是什么气味
(3) taste of + 名词:尝起来有什么样的气味 (of + n = adj.)
(2) taste like + 名词:尝起来像什么
分别举例如下:
The oranges which taste sweet will surely sell well. 这种甜味的橙子当然畅销。
I drank a cup of tea that tasted of diesel. 喝了杯有股柴油味的茶。
It tastes like chocolate. 吃起来像巧克力。
3. taste like/as if/as though + 从句
(例句略)
