什么是名词作动词用?名词也可作动词用,动词也可作形容词用,这叫词类活用。名词作动词是指在翻译的时候由于语法结构和英语习惯表达的需要将名字译作动词。
举例:People,poor or rich, are equally favored by Nature.大自然对人的恩赐,无论贫富,一律平等。(恩赐由名词译为动词)
The school leaders were favorably impressed by the excellent performance of the students.同学们的精彩表演给校领导留下良好的印象。(印象由名词译为动词,impress 不用impression)
以下是 AEIS考试中一些常见的名词做动词的词汇总结:

A policeman at the street corner eyed(打量)him suspiciously.街角的警察怀疑地打量着他。
3.Dream
用作动词和名词的用法与搭配:
1.用作动词,表示“想见”或“梦想”,注意以下用法:
(1)其后通常接介词of或about。如:
