昂立外语【新概念培训】分享drop词汇。下面分别看看drop用法。
drop作为动词:意为“落下;跌倒;下降;放弃;漏掉”,首先要注意到drop是重度闭音节,过去式过去分词要双写p+ed, drop-dropped-dropped
在Webster字典中的解释为:
vt. to let (something) fall
人为造成的下落, 故意的或不故意的:
She dropped the apple core into the trash can.
她把苹果核扔进了垃圾箱。
They dropped bombs on the city.
他们向城市投放炸弹。
He dropped [=lowered] his voice.
他放低了声音。
She dropped [=reduced] her speed when she saw the patrol car.
看到了巡逻车,她降低了车速。
You have dropped an "f" in your spelling of the word "different"
你在拼写different的时候漏掉一个f。(不故意的行为)
在新概念第二册L35中:

在新概念第二册L53中:
A bird had snatched up the snake from the ground and then dropped it on to the wires.
一只鸟从地上抓起蛇,然后把它仍在电线上。(非故意行为)
另外有以下固定搭配:
drop sb. a line 写信给某人
= write to sb
vi. to change to a lower level, amount, position, etc.
程度、数量、职位等的自动下落
The temperature dropped (to 50 degrees).

在新概念第二册L86中:
Before long, the noise dropped completely and the boat began to drift gently across the water.
不久,噪音彻底消失了,快艇开始在水面上慢悠悠的漂流。
与fall的区别:
fall在Webster字典中的解释为:
“to come or go down quickly from a high place or position”
See some examples:
An apple fell from the tree. 苹果从树上落下来。
A vase fell off the shelf. 花瓶掉落书架。
Rain fell from the sky. 雨从天降。
She slipped and fell on the ice. 她滑倒了,摔在冰上。
Her hair fell loosely over her shoulders. 她的头发蓬松地披落在肩头。(What a vivid description!)
不难分析,fall与drop第二层含义一致,强调:“自动下落”,而且更多用于“具体事物”,像数量、温度、水平等抽象名词,多采用“drop”这个词。不过今后随着我们知识的进一步扩展,这两个词的用法也会见到互通之处。中学阶段只需辨别出基本差别,并可以顺利完成以下习题即可:
试着完成下面练习:
I ______ the glass on the ground which smashed into pieces.
He ____ down the stairs and broke his leg.
(dropped; fell)
drop作为名词: 翻译为水滴的“滴”,在英语中是个量词
在Webster字典中的解释为:
a very small amount of liquid that falls in a rounded shape
比如水滴、一滴血、一滴雨等。
a drop of …一滴…
a drop of water/blood/ink
一滴水,一滴血,一滴墨水
See more examples:
