用法讲解

v. (动词)
  1. call的基本意思是“叫喊”,指各种场合下的大声说话,强调叫喊的实际动作。引申可表示“命名”“拜访”“通电话”“召唤”等。
  2. call可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词。作“喊”“叫”解时，多接简单宾语; 作“叫来”“请来”解时，多接双宾语,其间接宾语可转化为介词to的宾语; 作“命名”“称为”“认为是”解时，可接以名词或形容词充当补足语的复合宾语。充当宾语补足语的名词除专指某人外,一般都用冠词。call偶尔也可接由动词不定式充当补足语的复合宾语。call接复合宾语时,如宾语为动词不定式或动名词,而其补足语为形容词或名词时,则须以it置于宾语位置上充当形式宾语,而把真正的宾语置于其补足语之后。
  3. call和at〔on〕连用可表示短暂的拜访,多用于仅有社会关系或公共关系者,也可用于至爱亲朋。
  4. call可用于被动结构,其过去分词常可用作形容词,在句中作后置定语。
n. (名词)
  1. call一般用作可数名词,其基本意思是“呼喊声,叫声”,既可指人发出的声音,也可指动物或其他物体发出的声音。引申可表示“拜访”“打电话”“邀请”“召唤”等。call用于桥牌游戏中还可表示“叫牌”。
  2. call作“需要”“理由”解时,多为不可数名词,主要用于否定句或疑问句中。若表示具体要求时,为可数名词。
  1. call someone表示“唤醒某人”或“高声唤某人而叫某人来”，在美国，还有“打电话给某人”的解释；
  2. 表示某人名叫什么，可用be called。

    He is called Mark.
    他名叫马克。

  3. call后加不同介词再加宾语时，表示不同含义：call to sb表示“高声唤某人”。call on和call at都表示“短暂的拜访”，但是后者后面接地点。call upon sb表示“请求某人”，偶指“拜访某人”。call for sb可表示“拜访某人然后跟他一同出去”，或者表示“吩咐别人叫某人来”。call sb up表示“打电话给某人”；

    The chairman called on her to say a few words.
    警察拜访了她，问了些话。

  4. call没有“吩咐某人做什么”的意思，可以用动词tell或ask来代替call去表示。call sb to do表示“高声唤某人做某事”，如call him to help me有“高声唤他来帮助我”的意思；
  5. 短语call for的用法：可表示“需要”的意思，其后可加不定式。还可表示其他意思，如句子The meeting was called for I July表示“会议被决定在7月8日召开”。

    The work is important enough to call for us to exercise great care.
    这项工作很重要，我们需要很小心谨慎。

v. (动词)
call at, call on
  • 这两个短语的共同意思是“拜访”。其区别是：
  • 1.call at接地点名词,即某人的住处或工作单位; call on接表人的名词。
  • 2.call at强调目的性,且通常时间较短; 而call on则指因公或社交,较正式。
  • 3.call on可接以动词不定式充当补足语的复合宾语,意思是“请〔号召〕某人做某事”; 而call at无此用法。
  • 4.call at还可作“(车、船)停靠”解; 而call on无此义。
    • call on, call in
  • 这两个短语都可表示“拜访”,前者是较正式的访问,后者则指顺路短暂停留。
    • call sb's name, call sb names
  • 这两个短语的意思完全不同。前者是“叫某人的名字”,后者是“骂某人”; 前者可视实际情况而用name或names,而后者无论是一个人还是几个人,均用names。试比较以下两个句子:
  • She heard someone calling her name.
  • 她听见有人在叫她。
  • She heard someone calling her names.
  • 她听见有人在骂她。
    • call, cry, shout
  • 这组词都有“叫”的意思。其区别是：
  • call 类似汉语中的“呼叫”,指为引起他人的注意而大声说; cry 类似汉语中的“喊叫”,指表达感情(如痛苦、害怕等)和要求而大声叫; shout 类似汉语中的“呼喊”,兼有 call 和 cry的共同含义“大声喊”。试比较以下三个句子:
  • I heard someone calling for help.
  • 我听见有人在呼叫帮忙。
  • I heard someone crying for help.
  • 我听见有人在大叫救命。
  • “Go home!”the crowd shouted.
  • 人群在高喊:“滚回去!”
    • call, name
  • 这两个词在与after构成短语表示“取名”“以…的名字命名”时,一般可以通用。例如:
  • The girl was called〔named〕 Mary after her mother.这女孩随她妈妈也取名叫玛丽。
  • Tasmania was named〔called〕 after its discoverer,A.J.Tasman.塔斯曼尼亚岛是以它的发现者塔斯曼命名的。
  • 这两个词之间的区别是:
  • 1.call的意思是“把…叫做…”,过去时、现在时或将来时都可以用; name则指“起名字”的一次性动作,一般不用于现在时。例如:
  • What are you going to call〔name〕 the baby?你打算给婴儿取什么名字?
  • She had a daughter last year.They call her Cage.她去年生了个女孩,他们把她叫做“凯奇”。
  • Her father named her Cage.她父亲给她取名“凯奇”。
  • 2.name指正式的命名, call则既可指正式的命名,也可用于别称。例如:
  • His name is Brooks but we call him Jim.他的名字是布鲁克斯,但我们都称他为吉姆。
  • It was named the Youth Canal.它被命名为青年渠。
  • We call him Iron Ox.我们管他叫铁牛。
  • 3.在表示“叫出名字”“提出”“提名为,任命”时,只能用name,不能用call; 而在表示“呼叫”“拜访”“认为”时,只能用call,而不能用name。
    • call, phone, ring
  • 这组词都可表示“打电话”。它们的区别是:phone和ring常用于英式英语中, call则常用于美式英语中。例如:
  • 我要给你打电话。
  • (BrE)I'll phone you.
  • (BrE)I'll ring you.
  • (AmE)I'll call you.
    • call, drop in, see, visit
  • 这组词均有“拜访”之意。它们之间的区别是:
  • 1.从语气上说:visit是正式用语; call比较正式; drop in则是日常用语,有“顺便”“不定期”的意味; see一般用于亲友间的访问。例如:
  • The foreign delegation is visiting in Beijing.外国代表团正在北京访问。
  • The Britain Ambassador called on Premier Zhou Enlai yesterday.英国大使昨天拜会了周恩来总理。
  • He sometimes drops in to see me in the evening.他有时晚上来看我。
  • I'll go to see my parents tomorrow.明天我要去看望父母。
  • 2.在使用场合上:call和visit都可用于社交和公务,但医生到病人家出诊则要用visit。例如:
  • I visited〔called〕 on the foreign guests yesterday.昨天我走访了外国客人。
  • In China, restaurant and hotel kitchens are visited〔called〕 on regularly by officers of public health.在中国,卫生人员经常检查饭店和旅馆的厨房。
  • The doctor is out.He went to visit an emergency case.医生不在。他有急病号,出诊去了。
  • 3.call的时间一般都很短暂,而visit逗留的时间则较长。试比较以下两个句子:
  • I shall call on you this afternoon.
  • 今天下午我去拜访您。
