2. rate既可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词。用作及物动词时,接名词或代词作宾语,还可接以as短语充当补足语的复合宾语,在宾语补足语为one时as常省略。可用于被动结构。rate用作不及物动词时常与as引起的短语连用,这时主动形式含有被动意义,作“被认为是”解。
3. rate有时还可用作系动词,接形容词作表语,意为“定级”。

词义辨析

n. (名词)

rate, speed

• 这两个词都可作“速率”解。其区别是：
• speed指固定的速度或可能达到的最高速度,而在指相对增长的速率时用rate。试比较:
• The newly-designed airplane has a speed of 500 miles an hour.
• 新设计的飞机速度可达每小时500英 里。
• At the present rate of progress, we can shortly realize the four modernizations.
• 照目前的发展速度,我们不久就能实 现四个现代化。

v. (动词)

rate, appraise, assay, assess, estimate, evaluate, value

• 这组词都有“估价”的意思。其区别在于:estimate指个人的主观估价; appraise指以专家身份作出最终精确的估价; assay原指化验某物以确定其性质、分量或价值,引申指在衡量某事物之前作出鉴定性分析; assess指对财产进行估价作为征收税款或罚款的依据,引申指在使用某人或某物之前对其作出精确评价,以作最后决定的依据; evaluate是数学用语,指“求…的值”,引申指用比较熟悉的表示法评估某事物的价值; rate则专指评定价值等级的高低; value强调精确地估价。

speed，rate，velocity，pace

• 这些名词均含“速度、速率”之意。
• speed普通用词，指单位时间内行进的固定速度或速率，也指可能达到的最高速度。
• rate作“速度”讲时，与speed同义，可换用。作速率解时，指相对增长的速度，也指两种相比较而得出的标准速度。
• velocity技术用词，指物体沿着一定方向运动时的速率。
• pace普通用词，指步行的速度，常引申指活动的进度或生产率。

词源解说

• ☆ 1425年进入英语，直接源自中世纪法语的rate，意为价格，价值；最初源自拉丁语的rata，意为确定的，不变的。
