Blind people recognize shapes with their
___60___ (exist) senses, in a way similar to that of ___61___ (sight) people,
says Ella Striem-Amit, a Harvard scientist.
这是2022浙江卷2语法填空中的一个题。第61题填 sighted。这是由 sight 变化来的形容词。请问:形容词 sighted 是由动词 sight 还是由名词 sight 加后缀ed变来的?
这是由名词 sight 加后缀 ed 变化来的。
名词 sight 的意思是“视力”,而后缀 -ed 可以接在名词后面表示“有……(having, possessing)”,所 sighted 的意思是“有视力的”(having the ability to see):
注:sight 虽然可以用作动词,但不涉及是否有视力。
牛津词典对其动词用法的解释是:to suddenly see sth, especially sth you have been looking for 看到,发现(期待的事物):
朗文词典对其动词用法的解释是:to see something from a long distance away, or see something you have been looking for 〔从远处或经过一番寻找后〕看见,发现
韦氏词典对其动词用法的解释是:
to see (something or someone that is being looked for or that is rarely seen or difficult to see) 看到(正在寻找或很少见到或很难见到的某物或某人)
