用法讲解

n. (名词)
  1. air的基本意思是“空气,空中,天空”,引申可表示“飞行,散步”等。air作物质名词泛指“空气”时,不可数,不用冠词; 指某种具体的“气”或“天空”时用冠词。
  2. air也可作“曲调,歌曲,旋律”“播送”“风度,神态”“姿态,架子”解,是可数名词,用冠词。
  3. air也可借喻作“徒劳”或“流传,传开”解,不用冠词。
  4. airs可表示“架子”“做作的姿态”,不用冠词。
v. (动词)
  1. air用作动词的基本意思是“晾,晒,吹”,指在通风暖和处晾〔晒,吹〕衣服、被子等。引申可作“炫耀; 诉说”解,指炫耀〔诉说〕自己的想法或苦衷。
  2. air可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时接名词或代词作宾语。
  3. air后接副词out表示“通通风,透透空气,晾一晾”。
  1. 指“空气”时，air前通常不加the，只在the air we breathe等表达中才用the。特指“空中”时，air前加the， 而by air不用the。

    We can now travel by air.
    句中的by若改成through，则该加the。

  2. take air指“传开”，take the air指“到户外”，take to the air指“开始飞行”，in the air指“在空中”，而in the open air指“户外，露天”。

    Many birds are flying in the air.
    I am going out for a walk in the open air.

  3. air指“天空”时，要注意与sky的区别，像句子The moon is in the air就是错误的，air应该替换成sky；
  4. on the air和over the air是固定搭配词组，指“无线电广播”。

    She is on/over the air.
    她正在广播。

n. (名词)
in the air, in the open air, on the air
  • in the air是“在空中”“不定的”“散布的”“无掩护的”“在众人心中的”“可感觉到的”等意思; in the open air是“在户外”的意思; on the air是“广播”的意思。
    • in air, in the air
  • in air的意思是“在空气中”,而in the air的意思是“在空中,计划悬而未决; 谣言等流行”。

  • The accused spoke about it with an air of secrecy.(是装出来的)
  • The accused spoke about it with a look of secrecy.(是真情的流露)

  • Judy always gives himself airs.朱迪常摆架子(表示抽象概念)。
    • air, manner
  • 这两个词均表示“态度”“模样”。其区别在于:
  • 1.manner是通过观察某人的行为后所得出的印象,而air却是故意摆出的架势。

  • 3.air是第一次见面时就可以看得出的印象,而manner是经过仔细观察才可以得出的印象。例如：
  • His manner is always formal.他的态度总是郑重其事的。
  • He was a man of suave and courteous manners.他是一个态度和蔼而有礼貌的人。
  • She has an air of languor about her.她总是一副无精打采的样子。

  • There is no cloud in the sky.天空没有一丝云彩。
    • v. (动词)
    air, broach, express, utter, vent, voice
  • 这组词都有“表达”的意思。其区别是：
  • express含义最广,可指口头、笔头或用其他任何方式表达思想、感情、经历、构思或个性; air指宣扬某人的看法,希望引起公众的注意或获得同情; broach强调首次提出,尤指经过深思熟虑之后或等待辩论; vent强调无法控制地发泄或吐露强烈感情; voice专指用言语强有力地表达出一个人的思想、意见或感情; utter指突然发出某种强烈的声音。例如:
  • I can't express it properly.我不能恰当地把它表达出来。
  • He is ready to air his views to anyone.他乐于向人发表他的观点。

  • attitude普通用词，指对人或事情的看法和采取的行为，多有某种不很明确或不便明说的感情色彩。
  • air含义广泛。单数形式指某人脸上表现出的心理活动，或言谈举止；复数形式指某人故意做作而摆出的架子。
  • manner多指某人在某一场合的言谈举止等。

    • 常见错误

    n. (名词)
      别对我摆架子!

      误 Don't put on airs to me!

      正 Don't put on airs with me!

      析 表示“对…摆架子”时, put on airs后面用介词with,不用to。

      他乘飞机来到太原。

      误 He by air to Taiyuan.

      正 He came to Taiyuan by air.

      析 by air是介词短语,不可用作谓语。
