词语用法

n. (名词)

1. progress作名词的基本意思是“前进”,一般是指在空间中行进,用于抽象事物可作“进步,发展”解,一般是指某人在某个方面取得了比以前更好的成绩,也可表示进步的事物。
2. progress是不可数名词,一般不与不定冠词a连用,但当其有形容词等修饰语时,可与a连用; 在表示“各方面都取得进展”时,可以用复数形式。

v. (动词)

1. progress的意思是向前进,即“取得进步,进展”,强调其行进的距离,变化及改进提高的程度。
2. progress用作及物动词时,接名词、代词作宾语,可用于被动结构。用作不及物动词时,常与介词in, with连用,表示“在…方面取得进展”。
3. progress常用于进行体。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

progress, advance, proceed

• 这三个词的共同意思是“向前进”,都用作不及物动词。它们之间的区别是：
• 1.在词义上, advance 是“前进”; progress是“进步”; 而proceed是“进行”,即开始或继续按一定程序进行。例如：
• Slowly but surely they advanced towards their objective.他们缓慢地,但稳步地向着目标前进。
• The boy's piano-playing is progressing.那男孩的钢琴弹奏在进步中。
• The talks proceeded in a friendly atmosphere.会谈是在友好的气氛中进行的。
• 2.advance和progress常可互换。例如：
• Have you progressed〔advanced〕 in your studies?你在学习中取得了进步吗?
• 不过, progress注重目的性,而advance更注重效果。另外progress常可用于比喻义。例如：
• In three hours we hardly progressed at all.有3个小时我们简直寸步难行。
• 3.proceed可接动词不定式,而advance和progress不可。
• 4.祈使句中proceed用得多,例如：
• Let's proceed to the next item.咱们进行下个议程吧。

下面两句意思相同:

• How are you progressing in your studies?
• How are you progressing with your studies?
• 你的学习进展如何?

advance，progress，proceed，move on，go

• 这些动词均含“前进，行进，进展”之意。
• advance主要用于具体的人或物，也可指科学技术和运动等。
• progress指按某一既定目标前进，取得发展，目的性很明确，强调经常和稳定地前进。
• proceed侧重指继续前进。
• move on非正式用语，侧重从某一停止点向某地前进，但不表示前进的目的地。
• go最常用词，含义宽泛而不确切，依上文确定其具体意思。

常见错误

n. (名词)

1. 此后她有了很大进步。

   误 Since then she has won〔done,gained〕 great progress.

   正 Since then she has made great progress.

   析 “取得进步”一般说make progress,动词不用win〔gain,do〕。
