词语用法

v. (动词)

1. succeed的基本意思是“成功”“获得成功”,指某人在工作、理想、抱负、尝试等方面获得成功或达到目的,作此解时succeed为不及物动词,后面通常接“in+ n./v -ing”结构。
2. succeed还可作“继承”解,指继承财产、地位、头衔,也可指某物或某事以时间、顺序继续或跟着某事物而来。用作及物动词时,接名词或代词作宾语,可用于被动结构。
3. succeed后接介词to,在意义上和作用上与succeed没有什么差别。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

succeed in, succeed with

• 这两个短语都可表示“成功地做…”。其区别是：
• 以成功的人作主语时用succeed in; 以事物作主语时用succeed with。例如:
• He has succeeded in the attempt.
• The attempt succeeded with him.
• 他的那次尝试成功了。

succeed, continue, go on, last

• 参见continue条。

succeed, ensue, follow, supervene

• 这四个词都有“接着发生”的意思。它们的区别是:ensue指具有因果关系的事物连续发生; follow指事物按照时间顺序、逻辑关系连续发生; succeed强调相似的人或事物、事件按一定的顺序不间断的接踵而至,尤指时间或空间上的连续; supervene指意外的发生。例如:
• After the heavy rains, floods ensued.暴雨之后发生了水灾。
• A silence succeeded his words.他说完话后是一阵的沉默。
• The meeting went on until lack of time supervened.会议因时间不足而结束。

下面两句意思相同:

• The present Queen succeeded the throne upon the death of her father.
• The present Queen succeeded to the throne upon the death of her father.
• 现任女王在她父亲去世后继承了王位。

continue，resume，succeed，go on

• 这些动词或短语均有“继续”之意。
• continue普通用词。或指持续而不停止，或有一段中断后又继续下去。
• resume指中断后的继续。
• succeed侧重指有规律地连续。
• go on通俗用词，多用于口语中。go on+-ing表暂停后继续做原事，相当于后继续的内容与原来的内容相同。go on+不定式指做完某事后，接着做不同的另一件事。

1. 我们深信中国在本世纪末一定能实现现代化。

   误 We are sure that China will succeed to modernize herself by the end of this century.

2. 史密斯先生继约翰先生任校长。

   误 Mr. John was succeeded to headmaster by Mr. Smith.

   析 succeed to通常不用于被动结构。
