词语用法

1. beg和beg for意为“请求”时，比ask和ask for语气要重。用boon，favour，leave，pardon，forgiveness和permission等词和施舍物时，多与beg搭配；
2. 可以存在She begged him to...，She begged of him to...或She begged that...等表达方式；
3. beg (leave) to state，beg (leave) to acknowledge，beg (leave) to inform等词都是较为礼貌的用法，一般作为商业信函中的客套语，在普通信函中尽量少用；
4. beg指“向某人乞求”，在被请求的人前面用of或from。

   I begged a favour of/from my friend.

v. (动词)

1. beg的基本意思是指谦卑地、甚至低三下四地“乞求”“恳求”,可乞求生活必需品如饭、钱等,也可恳求其他非物质的东西,也可表示“祈求”某事物。
2. beg可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词。用作及物动词时可接名词、代词、动词不定式(短语)或that从句作宾语,也可接以动词不定式充当补足语的复合宾语。
3. beg后不可用于“beg+sb+sth”句型。表物宾语可用介词for引出; 表人宾语则可用介词of引出。
4. beg后接that从句时,从句表示希望或愿望,其谓语动词多由will或may构成,也可用虚拟式。
5. beg也可引出直接引语。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

beg sth, beg for sth

• beg后可接介词,也可不接介词。例如:
• He begged (for) money.他讨钱。这两种结构含义上有些差别,不加介词表示一个完成的动作,加介词只表示有这种目的。另外, beg your pardon是不可加介词的。

beg for, beg of

• beg for常接sth,表示“讨某物”; beg of接sb,表示“求某人”。

beg from sb, beg of sb

• 这两个短语都表示“向…乞讨”,在表示“乞讨钱〔物〕”时可通用,只是from强调“出处”; of强调“所有”。例如:
• I would be ashamed to beg from my neigh- bours.
• 我可没脸向邻居乞讨。
• I would be ashamed to beg of my neigh- bours.
• 我可没脸讨要邻居的钱。
• “恳求”“乞求”非物质性的东西只用of。

beg, entreat, implore

• 这三个词都含有“请求”的意思,并都含有浓厚的感情色彩。其区别在于:beg比较常用,但主要表示“恳求”“一再要求”, entreat含有企图说服对方或用热烈的请求软化反对意见的意思, implore表示非常迫切,焦急或苦痛的“要求”,常有“乞怜”的意味。例如:
• Again and again I have entreated Mrs. Prayor to say what she thinks of him, but she still evades returning a direct answer.我再三请求普瑞尔太太谈谈她对他的看法,但是她还是避开了正面回答我的问题。
• I implore you to go now.我恳请你现在就走。

beg, ask, demand, order, request, require

• 这组词的共同含义是“请求”。其区别是：
• 1.从语气上看, beg最弱,有“恳求”的意味,如ask后仍达不到愿望,就要进一步beg了。例如：
• He begged me to excuse him.他乞求我原谅他。
• request表示较客气,是有礼貌、谦虚地“请求”。例如：
• Visitors are requested not to touch the exhibits.请观众不要抚摸展品。
• ask的“请求”有时委婉,有时强烈。例如：
• The boy asked timidly if he might see the book.那男孩怯生生地问能否看一下这本书。
• He asked curtly for a cup of water.他粗声粗气地要一杯水喝。
• require语气较request强烈,但较demand缓和。例如：
• This plan requires secrecy.这计划要求保密。
• demand已是不折不扣的要求。例如：
• The guard demanded his business.警卫查问他来干什么。
• 而order则比demand更强烈,丝毫不让步。例如：
• If you make any more noise,I shall order you out of the classroom.你如果再叫,我就命令你从教室里出去。
• 2.从目的上看,这组词都表示要求对方满足自己的某种愿望, ask希望对方能给予肯定的答复,而request则对能否得到肯定的答复把握不大。例如：
• The meeting will take place at 8 o'clock. Your presence is requested.会议将于8时召开,敬请光临。
• 3.从根据上说, demand一般指客观上必要,缺此不可,多来自权威方面。例如：
• The work demands care and patience.这工作需要细心和耐心。
• require则指基于事物内在原因提出的要求。例如：
• His health requires that he go to bed earlier.他的健康状况要求他早睡。
• 4.从感情色彩上看, beg含有浓厚的感情色彩,表示“一再要求”。例如：
• The boy begged his mother not to punish him.那孩子要求他妈妈不要惩罚他。
• demand含有“愤怒”“焦急”等义。例如：
• The father demanded knowledge of what had occurred during his absence from home.父亲要求说明他不在家时究竟发生了什么事。
• require则强调铁面无私。例如：
• This requires great attention in our work.这一点我们在工作中要特别注意。
• 5.从使用场合看, ask使用范围最广; order则多限于军队中或医生对病人。例如：
• The officer ordered that the men should fire the guns.长官命令士兵开火。

ask，beg，demand，require，request，implore，claim，pray，entreat

• 这些动词均有“要求，请求”之意。
• ask最普通用词，指向对方提出要求或请求，长、晚辈，上下级之间都可使用。
• beg指恳切地或再三地请求或要求，常含低三下四意味，也多用于应酬场合。
• demand一般指理直气壮地提出强烈要求，或坚持不让对方拒绝的要求。
• require强调根据事业、需要或纪律、法律等而提出的要求。
• request正式用词，指非常正式，有礼貌的请求或恳求，多含担心因种种原因对方不能答应的意味。
• implore书面用词，着重指迫切、焦急或痛苦地恳求或哀求，常含较强的感情色彩。
• claim指有权或宣称有权得到而公开提出的要求。
• pray语气庄重，指热情、诚恳和敬祈的要求，现不很常用。
• entreat泛指一般“恳求或哀求”，含企图说服对方或用热烈的请求软化反对意见的意味。

plead，appeal，beg，petition，entreat，pray

• 这些动词均含“请求，恳求”之意。
• plead指谦卑而又不失尊严地请求，侧重迫切感。
• appeal常指以道义原则为基础或以法律为依据的请求。
• beg比plead通俗，不用于法律范畴，指低声下气地请求，有时含贬义，指某人喋喋不休地要求得到帮助。
• petition指正式而热切地请愿或祈求。
• entreat的意义与beg的大致相同，但较文雅。
• pray指祈求，多用于宗教用语中。

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 她来请我帮忙。

   误 She came to beg a favour from me.

   正 She came to beg a favour of me.

   析 当beg的宾语是非物质的东西时,应该说beg sth of sb,表示“向某人恳求某事”, favour是非物质的东西,所以用of。

2. 对不起,我的意见恰好和你的相反。

   误 I beg differing with you entirely.

   正 I beg to differ with you entirely.

   析 在需要搭用非谓语动词时, beg要搭用动词不定式(短语),不搭用动名词(短语)。
