动词和名词用法（VERB AND NOUN USES）

In standard English, the form lay is also the past tense of the verb lie in some meanings. In informal English, people sometimes use the word lay instead of lie in those meanings.在标准英语中，lay亦作动词lie某些义项的过去式。而在非正式英语中，人们有时用lay来代替这些义项中的lie。Do not confuse the verb lay with the verb lie. Because lay is used to talk about putting something in a particular place or position, it is related to the verb lie. If someone lays something somewhere, it lies there. The past tense and past participle of lay are both laid and it is usually a transitive verb. They laid him on the floor. However, lie is an intransitive verb with the past tense lay and the past participle lain. I lay on the floor with my legs in the air. 不要混淆lay和lie这两个动词。lay表示将某物放于某处或某个位置，意思上与动词lie有相关之处。如某人把某物安放（lay）在某处，此物即放（lie）在那里。lay的过去式和过去分词均为laid，它通常用作及物动词。例如，They laid him on the floor（他们把他放在地上）。lie则为不及物动词，其过去式为lay，过去分词为lain：I lay on the floor with my legs in the air（我躺在地上，双腿抬起）。

1. 放置；安放；搁If you lay something somewhere, you put it there in a careful, gentle, or neat way.

2. 布置（餐桌）；摆放（餐具）If you lay the table or lay the places at a table, you arrange the knives, forks, and other things that people need on the table before a meal.

7. 归咎/起诉Lay is used with some nouns in expressions about accusing or blaming someone. For example, if you lay the blame for a mistake on someone, you say it is their fault, or if the police lay charges against someone, they officially accuse that person of a crime.

e.g. She refused to lay the blame on any one party...她拒绝归咎于任何一方。e.g. He could not bear to lay too much responsibility for the unhappiness of his later years on his own shoulders...为自己晚景凄凉承担这么多责任，他接受不了。

8. 押（赌注）；就…打赌If you say that you would lay bets, odds, or money on something happening, you mean that you are very confident that it will happen.

词语用法

词义讲解

常见错误

词源解说

v.(动词)

lay的基本意思是“放置成水平位置”。可译为“放,搁,摆”“压倒,放倒”“铺设,敷设”等,引申可指“安排”“布置”“拟定”“提出”等。用作及物动词时,可接名词或代词作宾语,也可接“(to be+) adj./v -ed”充当补足语的复合宾语。

lay作“产卵”解时,可用作及物动词,也可省去宾语(通常为eggs)而用作不及物动词。

lay作“押,赌”解时通常接双宾语,其间接宾语可以是人,也可以是赌的“标的”,直接宾语则多为that引起的从句。

lay也可用作系动词,接形容词或过去分词作表语。

v.(动词)

lay, place, put, set

这组词的共同意思是“放置”。其区别是：

lay强调把某物放置或使某物处于水平位置;而set指使某物处于直立的位置;put强调把某物移进或移出某处或某位置,或使处于某种地位、情况或关系的动作;place则不强调动作,而强调某一确定的地点或情况。例如:

You placed me in a difficult position.你使我陷入了窘境。

I put the suitcase on the table.我把手提箱搁在桌上。

They were setting the table for dinner.他们正在摆餐具准备开饭。

v.(动词)

一个职员把一张纸放在书桌上。

误 A clerk laid a slip of paper.

正 A clerk laid a slip of paper on the desk.

析 lay作“放”解时,后面往往要跟一个表示地点的介词短语,否则意思不完整。

他喝醉了躺在大街上。

误 He was drunk and laid in the street.

正 He was drunk and lay in the street.

析 laid是lay(放置)的过去式和过去分词,而表示“躺”,应该说lie,它的过去式和过去分词分别是lay和lain。

玩具散放在地板各处。

误 The toys were laying about on the floor.

正 The toys were lying about on the floor.

析 lay是及物动词,表示“把…放(在某处)”。lie是不及物动词,表示“躺在(某处)”。应注意区别。

☆ 直接源自中古英语的lecgan，意为放在地上。
