词义辨析

adj. (形容词)

asleep, sleeping, sleepy

• 这组词的意思不完全相同,其区别在于：
• 1.asleep和sleepy主要用作表语。asleep的意思是“睡着”,而sleepy的意思是“想睡”。例如：
• The baby fell asleep; and I feel sleepy.孩子睡着了,我也犯困了。
• 2.asleep, sleepy和sleeping都可用作定语,这时的意思也不相同。asleep表示“睡着的”, sleepy表示“贪睡的”,而sleeping除表示“睡着的”外,还可表示与睡眠有关的东西。试比较：
• a sleepy fellow
• 一个贪睡的家伙
• a sleeping baby
• 一个熟睡的婴儿
• a sleeping car
• 卧车
• 3.asleep一般作后置定语,只有在其前有修饰语时才可前置,而sleepy和sleeping作定语时则可前置。

be asleep, fall asleep

• be asleep指睡着的状态,可以接表示延续性时间的状语; 而fall asleep指的是一时的动作。试比较下面两句：
• He has been asleep for three hours.
• 他睡了三个小时。
• One after another, all of them fell asleep.
• 那些人一个接一个地睡着了。

sleepy，asleep

• 这两个形容词均含有“欲睡的”之意。
