词语用法

adj. (形容词)

1. easy的基本意思是“容易的,不难的,不费力的”,指某事做起来不困难,多用于指事,而少用于指人。easy还可以指生活、心理或健康状况良好,即“舒适的,安心的,安逸的”,此时可用于指人。
2. easy后可接动词不定式,且不定式中的及物动词通常以主动形式表示被动意义。
3. easy后面常接介词“of+表示动作的名词”。
4. easy用于too...to结构时不含否定意义,而含肯定意义。
5. easy的比较级和最高级形式分别为easier和easiest。

adv. (副词)

1. easy用作副词时的意思有二:第一是指做某事不存在困难,即“容易地,轻松地”; 第二是指在移动某物时加以小心,即“小心地移动”某物。
2. easy在作“对某人或某事从容、谨慎”解时常用go easy on〔with〕 sb/sth 句型,当主语是人时,常用介词on,当主语是物时,常用介词with。

词义辨析

adj. (形容词)

easy, facile, simple, simplified

• 这组词都可以表示“做某事或理解某事没有太大困难”。其区别是：
• simply是个最一般的词,指不复杂或不难懂,因此能很快被头脑接受; easy也是一个最一般的词,常指事情容易做,不费劲; facile源于法语,几乎等于easy,但在现代英语中它常与一件表面上的甚至是虚假的东西相联系,因而带有贬义色彩; simplified指经过简化变得不复杂、不难理解或不难做。例如:
• It is very easy to do this thing.做这件事非常容易。
• There are a lot of simplified novels in our library.我们图书馆里有许多简写本小说。the facile smile of the high-pressure salesman有高度工作压力的售货员脸上皮笑肉不笑

下面两句意思不同:

• I found it easy. 我觉得这个很容易。
• I found it easily. 我很容易就找到了它。

adv. (副词)

easy, easily

• easy和easily都可用作副词,一般情况下用easily多些,而easy则多用于习语中。

simple，easy

• 这两个形容词均含“简单的，轻易的”之意。
• simple有指（事物结构）简单，简朴。
• easy指轻松。

常见错误

adj. (形容词)

1. 要到这个村并不难。

   误 The village is easy to be reached.

   正 The village is easy to reach.

   析 easy后面所跟不定式中的及物动词通常以主动形式表示被动意义,而不用被动形式。

2. 他很容易就买到了电影票。

   误 He was quite easy to get the film tickets.

   正 It was quite easy for him to get the film tickets.

   析 easy是表示“某事对于某人来说是容易的”,而不是“(人自己)感觉容易”。

adv. (副词)

1. 对他宽容点。

   误 Take it easy to him.

   正 Take it easy on him.

   析 表示“对…别太严厉”时,用介词on而不用to。
