v.(動詞)

play的基本意思是指為了消遣和娛樂而進行身體的或精神的活動,即“玩,玩耍”,也可指與某人進行一場比賽,即“參加比賽”。play還可指“演奏樂器”。引申可指“開某人的玩笑”“扮演”“播放”“(泉水等)噴出”等意思。

play可用作及物動詞,也可用作不及物動詞。用作及物動詞時接表示球或樂器等名詞、代詞或that從句作賓語。有時還可接雙賓語,其間接賓語可轉化成介詞to或for的賓語,還可接由“(as+) n./adj. ”充當補足語的復合賓語。可用于被動結構。play還可用作系動詞,后接形容詞或名詞作表語。

當play后接名詞用于演出中作“扮演”解時,一般析為及物動詞; 作“假裝…玩”解時,常析為系動詞。

play作“玩,玩耍”解時一般用于兒童,而很少用于成年人。當play作“演奏”解時,不用于打擊樂器(如鑼、鼓等)。

play后接表示球類或牌等名詞時,其前不加冠詞the; 而接樂器時則必須加冠詞the,在美式英語中the有時也可以省略。當play用于一般現在時時,賓語前不加冠詞,表示經常或定期進行某項娛樂或活動。

play的進行體可表示按計劃或安排即將發生的動作,此時句中一般伴有表示將來時間的狀語或特定的上下文。

在非正式書面語體中, play有時能以表示樂器的名詞作主語,作“演奏”解,其主動形式含有被動意義。

n.(名詞)

play用作名詞時意思是“游戲,玩耍”,指兒童用以玩樂而進行的各項活動。play也可指各種體育項目,即“比賽,競賽,運動”,既可表示一次具體的“比賽”,也可表示在比賽中的“表現或作風”或“比賽中的動作或技巧”。play還可指“戲劇,劇本”。play引申可指“活動,作用,相互的影響”“活動的范圍或余地”“閃動,浮動”“賭博”“機會”等。

play通常用作不可數名詞,但在作“比賽的動作或技巧”解時可用作可數名詞,一般其前都有一個形容詞修飾。play作“戲劇,劇本”解時可用作可數名詞。

v.(動詞)

play, play at

這兩個詞(組)都可以表示“玩”,在多數情況下可以互換使用。其區別是：

1.有些運動如golf, football或cricket一般不可用play at。例如:

We are playing golf.我們正在打高爾夫球。

2.從前說play at cards〔chess,billiards〕等,現在一般不用play at,而用play。例如:

Do you like to play cards?你愿意玩牌嗎?但如果比賽的對象或玩的伙伴為play的賓語時, at則不可省略。例如:

Will you play me at chess?你愿意和我下象棋嗎?

3.to play tennis強調賓語:打網球; 而to play at tennis側重動詞:以打網球消遣,打網球玩。

4.在現代英語中,指成年人扮演角色時通常用play,而指孩子的模仿時常用play at。例如:

The children played at soldiers.孩子們模仿士兵。

The men play soldiers.成年人扮演士兵角色。

n.(名詞)

play ball with, collaborate with, cooperate with, team up with

這組短語都表示“與…合作”的意思。其區別在于:

cooperate是一般用語,強調“自愿”; collaborate有明顯的感情色彩,與同伙人合作含褒義,與敵方合作表示“通敵”,含貶義; play ball with是非正式用法,多用于表示“狼狽為奸”; team up with則表示組成一個隊或組共同做某事。

v.(動詞)有空請到我家來玩。

誤

Please come to my home and play when you have time.

正

Please come and see me when you have time.
那天晚上他們玩得熱鬧極了。

誤

That evening they played very enthusiastically.

正

正

They enjoyed themselves that evening.
我們學校的外國留學生常和我們一起玩。

誤

正

析

在現代英語中, play用作不及物動詞表示“玩”時,幾乎只能用于兒童、動物或用于玩笑口吻中。不可把漢語“玩”一律譯成play。

☆ 直接源自古英語的plegian，意為快速移動；最初源自日耳曼語西支的plegan，意為繁忙。
