用法讲解

v. (动词)
  1. acquire的基本意思是“得到”,可指“购得”“习得; 学到(知识)”“获得(名声,地位或名望)”“患上(疾病); 受到(感染)”等,含有“逐渐具有; 不断积累; 开始学会”等意味。acquire也可指不正当的“获得”。
  2. acquire是及物动词,其宾语多为抽象名词,如用实物则显得做作, acquire也可接双宾语。可用于被动结构。
  3. acquire是瞬间动词,其现在完成时的肯定式不可与表示延续时间的状语搭配。
  1. 有时后面带双宾语，意为“使……得到……”。

    His character acquired him a good name.
    他的人品使他得到好名声。

v. (动词)
acquire, achieve, attain, earn, gain, get, obtain, secure, win
  • 这组词的共同意思是“取得; 获得”。其区别是：
  • 1.除secure是正式用词外,其余各词均为一般用词。
  • 2.achieve主要指取得成功、成就或实现预期目的; acquire主要指逐渐获得知识、能力、荣誉等; attain主要指达到重要目标或获得珍贵的东西; earn凭借功劳赚得或获得工资、报酬、荣誉、赞赏等; gain主要指获得或赢得有一定价值的东西; get指以各种方式获得各种所需或不需之物; obtain指获得所需之物或达到预期目的; secure指得到渴望或竞争性的东西; win指在竞争、比赛、争论或战斗中击败对手而赢得胜利或获得人们的爱戴〔好感〕等。
  • 3.achieve指克服困难之后而获得; acquire, attain, earn指通过努力而获得; gain指通过巨大努力而获得; obtain多指通过长期努力而获得,有时也指无须经过努力; 其他各词不强调通过努力与否; get可指通过各种方式获得; earn还指凭借功劳而赚得; win还指通过作出优异成绩而赢得。
  • 4.achieve强调结果; acquire强调量的增加; attain含有达到完美地步的意味; gain强调所获得之物能够造成的优势; obtain强调愿望得到满足; secure强调有把握或成功地获得。
  • 5.get是这组同义词中的最常用词,可指主动争取,也可指被动接受,有时不一定需要很大努力就能获得; acquire指持续,慢慢地获得,强调过程; 而earn, gain都强调经过艰苦努力而获得的这一结果, gain比obtain所付出的努力还要大些; win则指在竞赛中或战斗中赢得或获得胜利,可以通过努力获得,也可以偶然获得。例如:
  • He did not get what he had earned他未获得他应得到的东西。

  • 7.这组动词都可跟简单宾语。get, earn, gain, obtain, secure和win可跟双宾语; secure还可跟wh-从句; win还可跟含不定式的复合宾语。此外, gain和win有时还可用作不及物动词。acquire和attain常跟抽象名词。
  • 8.attain常用于庄重场合。win语气比gain强。
    • acquire，obtain，gain，get，win，earn，secure
  • 这些动词均含“获得、取得、得到”之意。
  • acquire强调通过不断的、持续的努力而获得某物，也指日积月累地渐渐地获得。书面语用词。
  • obtain较正式用词，着重通过巨大努力、要求而得到所需或盼望已久的东西。
  • gain侧重指经过努力或有意识行动而取得某种成就或获得某种利益或好处。
