词语用法

v. (动词)

1. kill的基本意思是“使终止”,或指通过某种手段使某人或某物失去生命,即“杀死”。kill可指任何形式的“杀死”,可以是有意的,也可以是无意的,关键是“杀而死”,是终结性的,多指“死于非命”。kill只叙述处死这一事实,不涉及使之死的人、处死的手段或环境。用于比喻可指“使…难受至极”“使…笑〔累〕得要死”“使…着迷”“使…尴尬至极”等。引申可用于计划、感情、希望等抽象事物,作“摧毁,扼杀”“否决”“消磨”“关闭”“抵消,中和”等解。kill还可作“吃光,饮尽”解,原为俚语,现在一般场合也可以用。
2. kill可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时,后接名词或代词作宾语,有时也可接双宾语,其间接宾语可以转化为介词for的宾语。kill用作不及物动词时的主动形式有时可表被动意义。
3. kill的主语既可以是人(个体的人或集团的人),也可以是动物或任何无生命的事物,如战争、灾害等。
4. kill与half, almost, nearly等修饰语连用时,可以表示“杀而未死,几乎杀死”。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

kill by, kill with

• 这两个短语都可表示“用…杀死”。其区别是：
• kill by用于被动结构可引出动作的主体,而kill with则没有这种用法。例如:
• Cage was killed by the thief.凯奇被那个贼杀死了。

kill, assassinate, die, execute

• 这组词的共同意思是“死”。其区别是：
• 1.kill表示“杀死”,是中性词,一般指死于非命; die表示“死”,是中性词,一般指正常死亡。例如:
• He died three years ago.他三年前去世了。
• assassinate是一种特殊形式的“谋杀”,通常是针对领袖人物或知名人士的。例如:
• The attempt of assassinating the prime minister failed.刺杀首相的企图未能得逞。
• execute是指依照法律或执行命令将某人“处死”。例如:
• The man was executed for treason of his own country.那人因叛国罪而被处死。
• 2.kill的宾语可以是人或物,施动者也可以是人或物; die常用作不及物动词,不用于被动结构,可跟同源宾语。例如:
• She died a heroic death.她英勇就义了。
• murder的主语和宾语均须是人。例如:
• The invaders murdered thousands and thousands of the natives.侵略者屠杀了成千上万的当地居民。

kill, butcher, massacre, slaughter

• 参见butcher条。

kill, hang, murder, shoot

• 这组词都有“杀(死)”的意思。其区别是：
• 1.kill是一般用语,指任何致死的行动,不能表示“杀而未死”; murder主要指用非法手段蓄意地、有预谋地杀害某人; shoot专指用枪打死或用非法手段暗杀某人,本词有“打(杀)而未必死”之义,故若强调“打(杀)死”时需要其他词的辅助,常见的结构有:
• shoot...and kill..., shoot...to death, shoot...dead等; hang特指“绞死或吊死”。例如:
• She killed him with a hammer.她用铁锤砸死了他。
• He was murdered by his brother.他被他哥哥谋杀了。
• He shot a lion with his rifle.他用步枪打中一头狮子。
• He was hanged for murder.他因杀人而被绞死。
• 2.kill的宾语可以用于人,也可用于动物、植物; shoot的宾语可以用于人,也可用于动物; murder, hang的宾语只用于人,不能用于动物、植物。例如:
• The frost killed the flowers.严霜使花枯死。
• He shot a bird and killed it.他打中了一只鸟,并且把它打死了。
• She murdered her husband.她谋杀了她的丈夫。
• He hanged himself in sorrow after his wife died. 他妻子死后,他在悲痛之下吊死了。

kill，murder，slaughter，massacre，assassinate，execute

• 这些动词均有“杀、杀死”之意。
• kill普通用词，含义广泛，泛指以任何方式使人、动物或植物死亡。
• murder指谋杀或凶杀。
• slaughter本义指大批宰杀动物，也指像屠宰牲畜一样一次杀死许多人。
• massacre语气比slaughter强。指大屠杀，尤指屠杀失去了自卫能力的人。
• assassinate通常指因政治原因用非法手段杀害政治领袖人物或知名人士。
• execute指依法处死罪犯。

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 他要杀死那条蛇,但它跑掉了。

   误 He killed the snake but it escaped.

   正 He tried to kill the snake but it escaped.

   析 kill表示“杀死”,而不可以表示“杀而不死”。

2. 她昨晚自杀了。

   误 Herself was killed by her last night.

   正 She killed herself last night.

   正 She was killed by herself last night.

   析 kill后可接反身代词作宾语,转换成被动结构时,这个反身代词须转换成相应的人称代词作主语。

3. 我们已把入侵之敌杀光了。

   误 We have killed all the invaders to death.

   正 We have killed all the invaders.

   析 kill有“杀而致死”的意思,因此to death是多余的。
