让我们来总结present用法吧~~
大家熟知的“礼物”含义(名词),如L65、L85;
除了解释为“礼物”,也可用作“现在,目前”(名词),如L13课中的at present,就是现在进行时的时间标志词;
除了名词词性外,还可以摇身一变,变为形容词。如L76、L89课的第二句课文原句,此处的词性是形容词,解释为“现在的,出席的”;
细心的你是不是发现,在L89和L93课中,present继续“变身”成为了动词,此时大家需要注意,该词的读音也发生了变化,
读作[priˈzent],解释为“赠与,赠送”。
看了这么多,我们也来动动口,读一读关于“present”的绕口令:
At present the presenter presenting the present is present.
