同学们,一看见这个题目也许就感到trouble来临了吧,trouble的确是一个令人头痛的词,但却是一个常用的词,比如在Lesson 38中就有这样一个句子:I just didn't wish to put you to the trouble of changing a large note.这个句子中的trouble比本文题目的trouble少多了。为了全面解决trouble一词的trouble,笔者现将其用法剖析如下: 一、基本用法 (一)作名词 1.当"疾病;故障"讲时,是不可数名词。 What's the trouble with you?你哪儿不舒服? My car has got engine trouble.我的汽车发动机出了毛病。 2.当"忧虑;苦恼;困难;痛苦"讲时,可以是可数名词,也可以是不可数名词。 We're having trouble with our new car.我们的新汽车很让人伤脑筋。 If we're late,there'll be trouble.我们要是迟到了,就倒霉了。 3.当"不便;麻烦;烦扰"讲时,是不可数名词。 I don't want to be any trouble to you.我不想打扰你。 Repairing this computer is more trou- ble than it's worth.这电脑修起来挺麻烦,不值得修。 4.当"纠纷;纷争;不宁;动乱"讲时,可以是可数名词,也可以是不可数名词。 There are many recent troubles in Iraq.伊拉克近来动乱不止。 The company has been hit by a lot of labour trouble.这家公司因一系列的劳资纠纷而严重受挫。 (二)作动词 1.当"使(某人)忧虑;苦恼;痛苦"讲。 What troubles me is that my back's been troubling me.使我感到苦恼的是我一直背疼难受。 2.当"麻烦;打扰"讲。 I'm sorry to trouble you,but can you tell me how to get to the airport?对不起,打扰您了,您能告诉我到机场怎么走吗? May I trouble you to give me a hand?劳驾你帮我一下好吗? 综上所述,可见本文题目应译为:麻烦没有来找你,别去自找麻烦。 二、常用习惯搭配 1.ask for trouble自讨苦吃,自找麻烦。类似的惯用法还有borrow trouble, look for trouble等。 Don't borrow trouble by worrying about next year.It's too far away.不要为明年的事烦恼,那毕竟太遥远了。 2.be a trouble to sb.对某人是个麻烦 Teaching is a trouble to him.教书对他是件麻烦事。 3.be a trouble to do sth.干某事是件麻烦事 Some dishes are very enjoyable to eat but a great trouble to prepare.有些菜吃起来可口,但做起来很麻烦。 4.go to the trouble of doing sth.不怕麻烦(干)某事;特意(干)某事 Yang Wei told Mr Li not to go to the trouble of driving him home.杨维告诉李先生不必麻烦开车送他回家。 5.have trouble with有病痛;同……闹纠纷 He has much trouble with his friends.他与朋友闹纠纷。 6.have trouble to do sth.做某事很费力(事,心),与have trouble doing sth.同义。 I have much trouble to keep out of debt.我费尽心机以免于负债。 7.make trouble闹事;捣乱 If you don't listen to him,he will make trouble.如果你不听他的,他会捣乱的。 8.make trouble for sb.给某人带来麻烦 The boy makes trouble for his teacher.这个男孩常给老师找麻烦。 9.get into trouble陷入困境;get out of trouble摆脱困境 I got into trouble through helping him.我因帮助他而陷入困境。 10.give sb.trouble,give trouble to sb.和put sb.to trouble麻烦某人;给某人添麻烦 I've put you to much trouble,I'm afraid.恐怕我给你惹了不少麻烦。 11.in trouble处于困境,与get into trouble意思相近。 He is a kind friend to everyone in trouble.他是每一个患难人的好朋友。 12.no trouble不麻烦;不费事 It's no trouble at all to do a good deed.做一件好事是毫不费事的。 (文/重庆耿志华;英语辅导报高二版03~04学年第18期;版权归英语辅导报社所有,独家网络合作伙伴新浪教育,未经许可,不得以任何形式进行转载。) |
