用法辨析

    n. (名词)

  • left的基本意思是“左”,可指“左边,左侧,左部”,是不可数名词。
  • 表示“左翼,社会主义拥护者”时,常与the连用,且大写,是集体名词;在强调整体时,谓语动词用单数形式;强调成员个体时,谓语动词用复数形式。

    • adj. (形容词)

  • left的基本意思是“左侧的,左边的,左面的,左方的”,在句中常作定语。引申则表示“左翼的,左倾的”,在句中常作表语。
  • left只有表示“左翼的,左倾的”时,才有比较级和最高级(lefter, leftest或more left, most left)。
  • left和right虽是简单的“左”和“右”，但也有特别之处：就河的两岸而言，right bank指的是向下游看在右面的，而left bank是在左面的，好比长江从西向东流时，其南岸和北岸分别为right bank和left bank。在照片或图画中，为了依照欣赏画和照片的人的左右，画中的left是right，而right是left；
  • 在简单的表示“左”或“右”的方位时，只可以用on the left/right，不可用at the left/right；
  • on one's left/right有时可用on the left/right，at one's left/right，或是to one's left/right等表达方式来替换，不过在表示较长的距离时，习惯上用to。The author is seated in the centre, his son is on his left, and his daughter is on his right. 这个作家坐在正中间，左边是他的儿子，而右边是他的女儿。
  • 在作为leave的过去式时，left可表示“剩余的，遗留的，未使用的”等意思。What did you do with the money that was left? 你把剩余的钱做什么处理了?
