词语用法

词义讲解

词源解说

v.(动词)

possess的基本意思是“占有,拥有”,指人或物具有某种品质、性质、能力或特征。其后可接有形的东西,也可接特点、能力、气质等抽象名词作宾语,总之,表示拥有好的东西。还可引申表示“受到某种感情支配”, possess是及物动词,接名词或代词作宾语,也可接以动词不定式充当补足语的复合宾语。

possess作“占有”解,这个动词可以搭配反身代词。

by possessed by〔with〕的意思是“(妖魔、情欲等)迷住,缠住”,常用于被动结构,强调施动者时用by,若不太强调被动的含义还可换用介词with。

v.(动词)

possess, own

这两个词都有“有”的意思。其区别是：

1.own强调具有合法权利占有、继承某物作为财产的意思,所占有的物必须有相当的价值; possess则不管采用何种方法得到。例如:

The police asked me if I possessed a gun.**问我是否有一支*。

His family owned neither land nor house.他家既无房子又无土地。

2.possess只用于好的事物,而own则好坏均可。

☆ 15世纪中期进入英语，直接源自古法语的possessier；*初源自拉丁语的possess，意为做为私有财产把持，持有。
