用法讲解

v. (动词)
  1. confine的基本意思是“限制”“约束”“划界”,用作及物动词时指“把…限制在…范围内,限制的范围多是狭窄的空间,即“绝对不许越过或不能超出一定的范围或限度”,引申可表示严格管束或监禁,即“把…关在…里”“禁闭”等。
  2. confine的主语可以是人,也可以是物,可接名词或代词作宾语,宾语后面也常可接介词,接to时多表示“限制在…范围内”; 接within时多表示“把…关在…里面”。
v. (动词)
confine, limit
  • 这组词都有“使…局限于”的意思。它们之间的区别是:
  • 1.confine意味着不能超出一定的范围或限制。
  • 2.limit除了具有confine上述的意思之外,还有“预先定下标准、界限,不许越过,不然将受惩罚或遭受不利”的意思。
  • 3.confine的过去分词confined表示“受禁闭”; limit的过去分词limited表示“很有限”“贫乏”。
