- apply
- v. [ə'plaɪ] ( applies; applied; applying )
- 双解释义
- vt. 1. 敷,涂 put on or next to sth
- vt. 2. 应用; 使用 bring or put into use
- vi. 3. 适用 have an effect related
- vi. 4. 申请,请求 request sth
- vt. 5. 使刻苦努力; 致力于 cause to work hard or with careful attention
- 基本要点
1.apply的本义是指“将甲物置于乙物之上”,现代英语中仍保留“粘贴”的意思,并由此引申表示将某物“应用”或“运用”于另一物使之发挥或取得实际效益。
2.apply作“敷,涂”解时,是正式用法,及物动词仅用于说明书中。在会话中和大多数文字中,则代之以put 〔rub〕 it on, rub〔spread〕 it in。表示“把…敷〔涂〕在…之上”可说apply sth to...。apply后可接药物、油漆、冰块等作宾语,而to的宾语可以是物,也可以是人体的某个部位。
3.apply作“应用,使用”解时,也是及物动词,可接规章、条例、精力、经验、用心、智力等作宾语; to的宾语即可是人,也可是物或事。
4.apply后还可接反身代词作宾语,表示“把(精力等)投入到…”,其后一般接带介词to引起的短语。不用于被动结构,也不用于进行时态。
5.apply作“适用”解时,指理论、原则等适用,仅用作不及物动词。
6.apply作“申请”解时是不及物动词,常用于“apply to...for...”结构表示“向…申请…”,介词to的宾语可以是人或组织机构, for的宾语可以是物或职位等。
7.apply还可表示亲自或用信件直接向掌权者请求同意其要求或申请。
