用法辨析
- contend的基本意思是非敵意、平等地“爭”,其對(duì)手一般是人而不是物,其手段是“文爭”而不是“武鬭”,其性質(zhì)僅限於競爭而不是敵意,其目的僅限於制服而不是打敗。本詞強(qiáng)調(diào)爲(wèi)取勝而付出艱苦努力的必要性及緊張程度,引申可表示“聲稱”“主張”。
- contend作“競爭”解時(shí)是不及物動(dòng)詞,接介詞about或over表示“爲(wèi)…爭吵或爭奪”; 接介詞against表示“與…鬭爭或競爭”; 接介詞for表示“爲(wèi)獲得…而競爭”; 接介詞with表示“應(yīng)付,對(duì)付”。
- contend作“聲稱”“主張”解時(shí)是及物動(dòng)詞,接that從句作賓語。
