词语用法

1. make后接不定式时的用法：用在make+宾语+动词的不定式中时，动词前面不能加to，这时是“使、让某人（或某物）做”的意思。make在被动用法中，动词前必须要加上to。但是如果make是单纯“制造”的意思，to不能省略。另外，在谤语里make的宾语后面的不定式的to也不可省略。

   I made her cry.
   我让她哭了。

   She is made to repeat the whole story.
   她被要求重述一遍整个故事。

   He made our shoes to last.
   他把我们的鞋做的结实耐穿。

   Money makes the mare to go.
   有钱能使鬼推磨。

2. 当make用在make+宾语+过去分词/形容词时，是“使某人（或某物）怎么样”的意思。

   I tried hard to make myself heard.
   我努力让大家能听到我。

3. 当make用在make+名词+名词的结构中：如果两个名词没有明显的前后衍化关系，则表示“给某人（或某物）做什么”的意思.如有前后衍化关系，则表示“使某人（或某物）变得”。

   She made him a birthday cake。
   她给他做了一个生日蛋糕。

   You have made me a very happy man.
   你让我变成了一个非常高兴得人。

4. 当make指“由……制造出……”时，当制造出的东西可以辨别其材质时，用of。如果经过了化学变化，无法辨别材质，则用from。但是，有时候无法判断是否变化得辨别不出材质时，如面粉做成馒头，of或from都可用。

   Paper is made from wood.

v. (动词)

1. make的基本意思是“做,制造”,即“使甲物变为乙物”“使某物变为某种状态”。
2. make用作不及物动词时,意思是“开始,试图”“行进,趋向”“被做成,被制成”“增长起来”。主动形式常含有被动意义。
3. make用作及物动词时,意思是“制作,做成”“产生,引起”“成为,构成”“获得,赢得,赚得”“走(到),以(某种速度)行进,赶上”“吃”“说明,讲述”。可接名词、代词作宾语。
4. make作“作出某种动作”解时,常与某些名词连用,其意思常常近似于与该名词相对应的动词,用来表示行动,可接介词短语,也可接动词不定式。
5. make可接双宾语,意思是“给…做…,为…提供或准备…”,其间接宾语可以转换为介词for的宾语。
6. make还可接由名词、形容词、动词不定式、过去分词或介词短语充当补足语的复合宾语。当名词作宾语补足语时,通常含有“把某种优良品质或地位等赋予对方或自身”的意思,宾语补足语一般含褒义; 当形容词作宾语补足语时,形容词有时可以提至宾语之前; 当动词不定式作宾语补足语时,一般不带to,但在被动结构中to不可省去,在某些谚语中make后的动词不定式是可以带to的; 某些表示“感觉,认识”的动词如understand, know, feel等作宾语补足语时常用过去分词,宾语用反身代词; make后接的复合宾语中,常以it来代替较长的动词不定式短语或从句,即采用形式宾语结构,此时的意思是“使…成为…”“使得”“估计,认为,算出”等。
7. make偶尔可以用作系动词,意思是“达到某种状态”,表语多为certain, free, light, sure, little, much等形容词或as if从句。
8. make可用于被动结构。

n. (名词)

1. make用作名词时基本意思是“制造的方法,样式”,引申可指“体格,品质”。
2. make后常接介词of,一般接单数名词形式。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

make from, make of

• 这两个短语的共同意思是“由…制成”。其区别是：
• make from表示某物加工制成另外的物品时,已失去了其原始材料的原貌; make of指加工后仍可看出由何种原料制成的。例如:
• Cider is made from apples.苹果酒是用苹果酿的。
• I would rather make a house of stone.我宁愿用石头来盖房子。

make, cause, get

• cause, make和get都具有“使役”意义。其区别是：
• 1.cause强调的是什么原因使某人做某事; make则具有强制的意味,即强迫某人做什么事; get是指以说服或命令之方式让某人做某事。
• 2.使用cause和get时,应当用cause〔get〕 sb to do sth 句型,而使用make时,应当用make sb do sth 句型。

make, cook, fix, get, prepare

• 这组词都可以表示“做”,其区别是：
• cook只用于食品而不用于饮料; 其他几个词都可以用于饮料。make和get可以互换; 而prepare和fix则强调准备的过程。例如:
• She is cooking in the kitchen.她在厨房里做饭。
• Let me fix you a drink!我来为你倒杯饮料。
• He got〔made〕 himself a cup of coffee.他给自己冲了杯咖啡。
• You shouldn't have troubled yourself to prepare such a feast!你本不该准备这样丰盛的饭菜,这样太麻烦你了。

make, do, manufacture, produce

• 这四个词的共同意思是“制造,生产”。其区别是：
• make是普通用语,可指任何物品的制作、制造、生产、加工; manufacture通常指较大规模、较大批量的生产、加工、制作; produce着重强调生产情况及产量,不强调生产过程及规模; 当做某事或进行某活动,又不知是什么具体内容时,用do来表示,当说到工作时,一般情况下用do。例如:
• This firm manufactures cars.这家公司制造汽车。
• They make over 250 cars a week.他们一星期制造250辆汽车。
• What are they doing?他们在做什么?
• I'm going to do my work.我将做我的工作。

make, enable

• 这组词都可作“使…”解。其区别是：
• 1.前者含有“能够使…”的意思,而后者则不含“能够”的意思。
• 2.enable要接带to的动词不定式作宾语补足语; 而make后的宾语用作补足语的动词不定式不带to。
• Flying enables us to travel fast.
• 坐飞机能使我们旅行快些。 (含有“能力”概念)
• The light woodwork makes the room more attractive.
• 这个细木雕刻使得屋子更加生辉了。 (没有“能力”概念)

make, force

• 这两个词的共同意思是“迫使”。其区别在于:force所含“暴力威胁”的意味较强; make所含“暴力威胁”的意味较弱。另外, force若跟复合宾语,须接带to的动词不定式; make若跟复合宾语,须接不带to的动词不定式。例如:
• She can't force me to do it.
• 她不能迫使我做这件事。
• She can't make me do it.
• 她不能使我做这件事。

make up one's mind, decide, determine, fix, resolve, settle

• 这组词(组)都有“决定”的意思。其区别在于:
• 1.decide是普通用词,指经过讨论、思考消除分歧而对是非、优劣、取舍等问题“作出决定”; resolve强调信念的目的性; 而settle则强调最后的“决定”。例如:
• From that moment she resolved to trace the unknown element.从那时起,她决心找出这种未知的元素。
• He resolved that nothing should hold back.他决心不为任何阻碍所挫。
• The heavy rain might settle the changeable weather.这场大雨也许能使变幻不定的天气稳定下来。
• 2.determine强调“意志坚定”“不可动摇”,也常用于科技方面通过调查或认真思考后作出“决定”或“确定”。例如:
• His advice determined me against further delay.他的劝告使我决定不再拖延。
• He is determined to break away all the bad habits.他决心改掉所有坏习惯。
• An X-ray determined that no bones were broken.经X光测定,没有发生骨折。
• 3.fix指经过考虑和商议后作出决定,强调不再改变。例如:
• Once the aim is fixed, we should not change it arbitrarily.目标一经确定,我们就不要随意改变。
• 4.make up one's mind指下决心做某事,不再改变。例如:
• Have you made up your mind about it?关于这件事,你拿定主意了没有?
• They have made up their minds to set off tomorrow afternoon.他们决定明天下午动身。

下面两个句子的意思有所不同：

• He made as if to speak but stopped im- mediately.
• 他作出像要讲话的样子,但又止住了。

n. (名词)

make, brand

• 这两个词的共同意思是“种类,牌号”。其区别是：
• make通常指使用期较长的物质; brand常指使用期较短的易消耗的物质。例如:
• This is a brand of soap.这是一块容易消耗的香皂。

make, mark

• mark用于商业上指产品的“型号或式样”。make指商品的“商标或牌子”。例如:
• In this shop everything has a make.这家商店所有的商品都有商标。

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 她被迫把整个情况又讲了一遍。

   误 She was made repeat the whole story.

   正 She was made to repeat the whole story.

   析 make用作使动用法时,要接不带to的动词不定式作宾语补足语。但是在被动结构中,要接带to的动词不定式。

2. 他没有让别人明白他的意思。

   误 He didn't make himself understand.

   正 He didn't make himself understood.

   析 make接复合宾语时,若宾语是其后动作的承受者,应接过去分词作宾语补足语。

3. 他说清楚了,他将不接受我们的邀请。

   误 He made clear that he would not accept our invitation.

   正 He made it clear that he would not accept our invitation.

   析 make可接“名词或代词+形容词”作其复合宾语,如果名词或代词部分是that从句时,通常用it作形式宾语,将that从句置于形容词之后。

4. 我将为你准备一些新鲜的茶。

   误 I'll make some fresh tea to you.

   正 I'll make you some fresh tea.

   正 I'll make some fresh tea for you.

   析 make 作“准备”“制造”解时,可以跟make sb sth 结构或make sth for sb 结构,其中的for不能换作to。

5. 我要尽力成为一个称职的英语教师。

   误 I will do my best to make myself become a competent teacher of English.

   正 I will do my best to make myself a competent teacher of English.

   析 make作“使成为…”解时,本身已含有become的意思,因此后面不可再用become。

6. 这张桌子是木头做的。

   误 The desk is made from wood.

   正 The desk is made of wood.

   析 从成品中能看出原材料(物理变化)时,用make of,而不用make from。

7. 他去火车站是为了搞清开往北京的列车时间。

   误 He went to the station to make surely the time of the train for Beijing.

   正 He went to the station to make sure of the time of the train for Beijing.

   析 make sure of是习语,意为“一定要”“核实”。

8. 我们决定不了下一步该干什么。

   误 We couldn't make up our mind what to do next.

   正 We couldn't make up our minds what to do next.

   析 make up one's mind意为“下决心”,当one's是复数概念,如our, their时,就应用minds; 当one's是单数概念,如my, his, her时,使用mind。

9. 在这个地区,今年自然灾害所造成的损失比去年大。

   误 Natural disasters in this area made greater damage this year than last year.

   正 Natural disasters in this area caused greater damage this year than last year.

   析 damage不能与make连用,而应用cause, inflict, do等动词与之搭配。

10. 让我们充分利用时间。

    误 Let us make the most of our time as much as possible.

    正 Let us make the most of our time.

    析 make the most of 作“充分利用”解,本身已有as much as possible的意思,因此若再加上as much as possible就重复了。

11. 她高兴与他交朋友。

    误 She will be glad to make friend with him.

    正 She will be glad to make friends with him.

    析 表示“跟…交朋友”,此行为至少涉及两个人,因此friend应用其复数形式。

12. 现代科学和技术使得进一步发展工业和农业成为可能。

    误 Modern science and technology have also made it possible the further development of industry and agriculture.

    正 Modern science and technology have also made possible the further development of industry and agriculture.

    析 在make...possible这一表示“使…成为可能”的句子结构中, make的宾语是一个名词词组。由于宾语较长,因此把它与宾语补足语(possible)的位置对换,以使句子保持平衡,这里不存在形式宾语it。

13. 浓雾使他能爬上山去而不被敌人发觉。

    误 The fog made him can climb up the hill unnoticed by the enemy.

    正 The fog enabled him to climb up the hill unnoticed by the enemy.

    析 make的宾语后面不能接动词的限定形式,也不能接may, can等情态动词。
