v. (动词)
  1. borrow的基本意思是“借”,指向某人或从某处借走某物(借用不能带走的东西一般用use)。引申可表示“将别人的东西当作自己的来使用,抄袭某事物”“某语言借用另一种语言的词语”。
  2. borrow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,可用于被动结构。
  3. borrow不用于borrow sb sth结构,被借对象一般用from或of引出,后者更正式; 与on连用时,表示“以…抵押来借款”。
  4. borrow是非延续性动词,表示“借”这一行为时不能与表示一段时间的状语连用,但在表示借来以后使用的时间时却可以和表示一段时间的状语连用。
v. (动词)
borrow from, borrow of
  • 一般讲“从…借”“向…借”,用介词from或of均可,用from多些。其细微差别是from强调“出处”,而of强调“所有权”。例如:
  • I borrowed a dictionary of our English teacher from Tom yesterday.昨天我从汤姆那里借了一本我们英语老师的字典。
  • borrow, lend
  • 1.borrow是“借进”,表示“向某人借”,跟from〔of〕连用。lend是“借出”,表示“借给某人”,跟to连用。例如:
  • I borrowed a pound from〔of〕 my brother.
  • 我从哥哥那儿借了一英镑。
  • My brother lent a pound to me. 〔My brother lent me a pound.〕
  • 我哥哥借给我一英镑。
  • Some people neither borrow nor lend.
  • 有些人不向别人借,也不借给别人。
  • 2.lend后面可以接双宾语,而 borrow 不能。
  • lend,borrow,loan
  • 这些动词均含“借”之意。
  • lend指将自己的东西借出给别人,也可用于借喻意义。
  • borrow指从某人或某处借来某物,也可用作比喻。
  • loan指通过正式的手续,借数目较大的贷款。在美国也可指借出东西。
  • 常见错误

    v. (动词)
      我可以借一下电话吗?

      May I borrow your telephone?

      May I use your telephone?

      原句的实际含义是原地“借用”,而非“借走”,故不可用borrow。
