词语用法

1. occur指“想到”时，后面跟介词to。

   It occurred to me to visit my teacher.
   我想到要去拜访我的老师。

2. occur指“发生”时，比happen更正式；
3. occur是不及物动词，不用在被动时态中。

v. (动词)

1. occur的基本意思是“呈现在视野、思想、意识中”。occur常与介词to连用,意为“发生”“想起”等。
2. occur一般只用作不及物动词,含有“出乎意料”的意味,不可用于表达意料之中或计划之中的事情,也不与suddenly连用。
3. occur有时还可用作系动词,接形容词作表语,多表示“存在”。
4. occur没有被动语态,即使含有被动意义,也须用主动语态来表达。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

occur, happen, take place

• 这三者均可作“发生”解。它们的区别是:
• 1.happen和occur往往表示事情的发生带有偶然性, happen是一般用语, occur是较正式用语; take place常指按计划“发生”。例如:
• The explosion happened〔occurred〕 during an exercise near the town.在离市镇不远的地方演习时发生了爆炸。
• The talk is scheduled to take place tomorrow morning at eight o'clock.预定明早8时举行会谈。
• 2.当表示具体事情的名词作主语时,用happen和occur都可,如果不是表示具体事情的词则多用happen。在否定句里一般用occur。例如:
• These events happened〔occured〕 last year.这些事是去年发生的。
• What happened after I left?我走后发生了什么事情?
• It didn't occur to him to ask for help.他没想到请别人帮忙。

occur，happen，take place

• 三者都表示“发生”，都是不及物动词。
• occur指“发生”时可与 happen 换用，但后接to sb．／sth．时，两者含义不同：；occur to sb．／sth． 指“某种思想等呈现于某人的知觉中”。
• happen指“偶然发生”时，主语为“事”；当主语是“人”时，意为“碰巧”。happen to sb．／sth． 指不好的事情发生在某人（物）身上。
• take place表示“发生”，可与 happen 或occur换用，但其后面一般不接 to sb．／sth．结构；指必然会发生的事情时，多用 take place；此外take place 还可表示“举行某种活动”。

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 我突然想起我还没有及时交论文。

   误 It occurred me suddenly that I had not handed in my paper.

   正 It occurred to me that I had not handed in my paper.

   析 occur是不及物动词,后面不能直接接宾语,表示“…被某人想起”,应该用It occurs〔occurred〕 to sb 结构。另外, occur也不与suddenly连用。

2. 会发生第三次世界大战吗?

   误 Do you think there will occur a World War III?

   正 Do you think there will be a World War III?

   析 “发生战争”一般不用occur,而用be。

词源解说

• ☆ 1520年左右进入英语，直接源自中世纪法语的occurrer；最初源自拉丁语的occurrere：ob (对着，相反） + currere (跑），意为跑上前去，反方向跑，降临。
