用法讲解

v. (动词)
  1. attract的基本意思是“吸引”,引申表示“引起…注意”。其原因可以是吸引者具有吸引力的性质或特性，也可以是被吸引者对施动者具有吸引力或对施动者的影响非常敏感。当指人的异性吸引时,表示激起被吸引人强烈的羡慕或者唤起爱情或欲望。
  2. attract主要用作及物动词。主语可以是人,也可以是物,还可以是beauty、goodness等抽象名词。宾语可以是人,也可以是物,还可以是attention、glances等抽象名词。attract偶尔可用作不及物动词,是“具有吸引力”“引人注意”的意思。
  3. attract多用于一般时态,可用于被动结构。
  4. attract是中性词,属一般用语,用于褒义时居多。
  1. 和attract有相似意思的tempt指“引诱，诱惑”，有时候两个词容易混淆。

    The scenery attracted her to loiter on the way.
    路上的风景引诱她一直在徘徊。

v. (动词)
attract, allure, captivate, charm, enchant, fascinate
  • 这组词的共同意思是“吸引”。它们之间的区别是：
  • 1.从词义上说：attract和captivate是“吸引”; allure是“引诱”; charm、enchant和fascinate是“迷惑,使着魔”。
  • 2.从“吸引源”上说：attract和captivate用的是吸引者所具有的性质或特性; allure用的是美丽的、有魅力的东西或有效的手段、美好的前途等; charm、enchant和fascinate用的是符咒或魔法,更多的是用魔法般的事物。例如:
  • Her beauty captivated many.她的美貌吸引了许多人。
  • The swindler allured her by hopes.这骗子用希望引诱她。
  • This is a very charming village.这是一座非常迷人的村庄。
  • The witch enchanted the princess.女巫迷惑了公主。
  • The boy was fascinated by all the toys in the big department store.这孩子为大百货店里所有的玩具所迷惑。
  • 3.从结果上说：attract指被吸引者有感应; captivate指控制住兴趣或感情; allure指被引诱而堕落或克服某人的抵触情绪或冷漠态度; charm指迷住其感官或心灵; enchant指激起羡慕或使其销魂; fascinate则指无法抵抗或不能逃脱。例如:
  • He was captivated by Mary.他被玛丽所迷。
  • Don't be allured into bars by the pretty waitresses.不要被美丽的女招待引诱至酒吧间。
  • Young children should rather be allured to learning by gentleness and love, than compelled to learning by beating and fear.对小孩子应该通过温柔和爱来诱导他们学习,而不能用打和恐吓强迫他们学习。

  • She was enchanted by the flowers you sent her.你送给她的花,她很喜欢。
  • Snakes are said to fascinate small animals and birds.据说蛇能蛊惑小动物和小鸟。
  • 4.从程度上说：captivate意义最弱,只是暂时地吸引而不是长期地控制; enchant意义最强,已近乎疯狂。
    • attract，charm，enchant，fascinate，tempt
  • 这些动词均含有“吸引，引诱”之意。
  • attract普通用词，指客观上吸引人的注意力。
  • charm侧重迷住某人或使之高兴。
  • enchant着重指有能力引起被迷住者的欢乐或赞美。
  • fascinate通常含使人无法拒绝、无法摆脱的意味。
