词义辨析

v. (动词)

show one's face, show oneself, show itself

• 这三个短语的意思不同。show one's face的意思是“露面”。例如:
• Miss Walsh is ashamed to show her face before the public.华尔希小姐不好意思在大庭广众面前露面。
• show oneself的意思是“出席、到场”。例如:
• Ought we to show ourselves at the meeting tomorrow?明天我们应不应该出席会议?show itself的意思是“显而易见”。例如:
• His annoyance showed itself in his looks.一看他的脸色便知他不愉快。

show, exhibit

• 这两个词都有“显示”的意思。其区别是：
• exhibit常带有“展览”的意思,其宾语多为有价值的东西,如古物等; 而show则多表示“出示”某物,宾语多为小型物品,如证件等。例如:
• She has exhibited her paintings in Paris.她的画在巴黎展出过。

show, display

• 这两个词都有“表现”“表明”或“显示”的意思。其区别是：
• 1.display指表现出来的东西能使人看到或体会到; show指将事物展示给别人看,或领旁人到某地去观看。show有时还可以表示用语言、符号、行动等表达思想感情。例如:
• The shop displays a new kind of car.在商店里展示着一款新车。
• She showed her favor.她表示给予支持。
• 2.show是有意识地展示; display则是费力地明显表现。例如:
• She never shows her feelings.她的感情从不外露。
• Department stores display their goods in the windows.百货商店把商品陈列在橱窗里。
• 3.show较真实; display有时带有较大的夸耀性。例如:
• Does the mark of the wound still show?伤痕还看得出吗?

show, indicate, point out

• 这组词(组)都有“表示”“表明”的意思。其区别在于：
• 1.point out更强调“指出”。例如:
• She pointed out that the closing date for making applications had passed.她指出申请的截止日期已经过了。
• 2.show通常用于一眼就可以看清的东西,多用于有意识的行为。例如:
• Does the mark of the wound still show?伤痕还看得出吗?
• Tickets, please. Show your tickets.票,请把票拿出来。
• 3.indicate常用于无意识的行为。例如:

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 我想教你怎么做。

   误 I want to show to do it.

   正 I want to show you how to do it.

   析 show后不可直接接动词不定式作宾语,但可接以(wh-) to- v 充当宾语补足语的复合宾语。

2. 他们把我带到图书馆去看看。

   误 They showed me the library to have a look.

   正 They showed me the library.

3. 请你带我们去看看这个城市里所有的名胜古迹好吗?

   误 Will you please show us to see all the famous sights of this city?

   正 Will you please show us all the famous sights of this city?

   析 show本身已含有“看”的含义,因此,无须加have a look或to see。

4. 剧院正在上演什么戏?

   误 What is being shown at the theatre?

   正 What is showing at the theatre?

   析 表示“表演节目”, show是不及物动词,不可用被动结构。

5. 他表明自己是无辜的。

   误 He showed to be innocent.

   正 He showed himself to be innocent.

   析 表示“表明自己是…的”,须用show+oneself+(to be) adj. 结构,不可省略oneself。
