词语用法

常见错误

词源解说

adj.(形容词)

faint的基本意思是“微弱的,模糊的,暗淡的,隐约的”,指事物或声音等由于处于较远的距离或由于其他原因而显得不清楚或不明显; 也可指因身体不好而造成的“无力,虚弱”; 还可指对某事所采取的手段不够强硬而显得“无力,无甚效果”。

faint多用来修饰抽象名词,如声音、希望等。

v.(动词)

faint用作动词时的意思是“晕倒,昏倒”,指由于受外界因素的影响(如饥饿、炎热、恐惧、震惊、痛苦等)而暂时失去知觉。faint引申还可以指“消失,褪色”。

faint主要用作不及物动词,后常接副词away,表示“昏过去”“消失”。

faint后可接介词from或with,也可接复合介词because of,三者意思上没有明显差别。

n.(名词)

faint用作名词时意思是“昏厥,不省人事”,指人处于无知觉或不省人事的状态,这种状态可维持一段较长的时间,也可能只是暂时的。

faint常以单数形式出现。

v.(动词)

他妻子被这消息吓晕了。

误 His wife is fainted at the news.

正 His wife fainted at the news.

析 faint是不及物动词,不用于被动结构。

☆ 直接源自中古英语的feint，意为弱，昏倒。
