用法讲解

n. (名词)
  1. desert的基本意思是“沙漠”,指全部被沙子覆盖、很少下雨和少有植物生长的地方。也可指“像沙漠一样荒芜的地方”。可充当不可数名词,也可作可数名词,“一片沙漠”是a desert,“多片沙漠”是deserts。用作比喻可作“荒凉的境界”解,是不可数名词。desert还可作“应得到的事物”解,作此解时常用复数形式。
  2. desert的重音在第一个音节。
  3. desert前一般要有定冠词the,在作“沙漠地区”解时,前面的介词通常用in。
v. (动词)
  1. desert用作及物动词意思是“抛弃,遗弃”,强调违背允诺、誓言,或逃避责任等,通常指永久的遗弃,并含有过失之义,后面接名词或代词作宾语,可用于被动结构。
  2. desert用作不及物动词时,意思为“开小差,逃亡”。
  3. desert引申可表示“(在需要的时候)失去…”,作此解时,其宾语总是人,其主语通常是被失去的表示抽象意义的名词短语。
  4. desert的过去分词deserted可用作形容词,在句中作定语。
  5. desert用作动词时重音在第二个音节上。
  1. a desert表示“荒芜的地方”，指“一片沙漠”。表达“多片沙漠或荒地”时，用deser；
