用法辨析
- provide用作及物动词时,可表示“提供,供给,供应,装备”,后可接名词或代词作简单宾语; 还可接双宾语,常用介词for引出间接宾语,也可用介词with引出直接宾语,有时with可省略。
- provide还可表示法律、规章、协议等的“规定”,往往作为条件提出使之能按照某人的意愿或某种规则履行,后常接that引起的从句,从句中可以用shall, should, must, may, ought to等,用should, must, ought to时,语气较重,用may时,语气较轻,用shall时,指当前,语气一般,也可用虚拟语气。
- provide用作不及物动词时常与for, against 等介词搭配。
- provide作及物动词时,指“规定”,后可接that从句。值得注意的是从句中要用shall/should,不用will/would,偶尔可用虚拟现在式。The contract provides that only the best materials shall be used. 合同规定说只允许用最好的材料。
- provided可作连接词,原属于provide的过去分词, provided ...或provided that ...指“规定或以……作条件”。当用于正式英语中时,provided .../provided that ...可等同于“if...”。I will go provided (that) you will go with me. 两句意思一样,但注意两者不能随便替换。What will happen if they see us? 句中的if不可以替换成provided。不过通常来说,用provided的场合,用if都是可以的。
v. (动词)
