各位老师好,请教老师,《葛传槼英语惯用法词典》关于search的用法有一条,如标黄句子所示:The
police are searching out the man. 警察们正在找到这个人。找到是结果,正在寻找是过程,两者无法并存。所有该如何理解这个句子呢?下面文字是照片上的原文。
谢谢各位老师。
search
1.下面每组里的三句意思不同:
1. The police are searching the
man. (警察们正在搜查这个人[身体]。)
2. The police are searching for
the man. (警察们正在搜寻这个人[要找着他])。
3. The police are searching out
the man. (警察们正在找到这个人。)
4. We shall search the house. (我们将搜查这房子[看看里面有些什么]。)
5. We shall search for the house
(我们将找寻这房子。)
6. We shall search out the house.
(我们将找到这房子。)
注意下面两句里的searched
for和searched
out不可对调。
He searched for(不用out)the
book, but could not find it.
He searched out(不用for)the
book, and handed it to me.
search after作search
for解,但语气重些,而且通常用于抽象名词。例如:He
came to live in the country to search after health.
search for和search
after都含有“努力搜寻”的意思。对于偶然被忘记放在哪儿的东西,通常用look
for而不用search
for或search
after。例如:I
am looking for my gloves, I must have left them in one of the drawers.
2.a search后面通常接for,偶尔接of。例如:She
made a search for(偶尔用of)her
missing ring. the search后面接of,for或after。例如:He
is engaged in the search of(或for,或after)certain
rare plants. in search of中用of。例如:She
went about the garden in search of her lost ring.
