v.(动词)

1. attack原意指猛兽扑食般地扑向某物,在现代英语中则用来表示各种形式的进攻,这种进攻常具有主动性,多是事前毫无警告,一方向另一方发动突然的、猛烈的(军事、武力)攻击,攻击的原因可以是出于仇恨或敌意,也可以是出于狭隘的意识,且进攻一般会遇到对方各种形式的抵抗。有时可用于对抗性较强的表演或比赛。引申可表示为在言论上对某人的论点、意见或声誉进行抨击,使其在精神上受伤或身败名裂,其目的就是将对方击溃或征服。
2. attack有时可指疾病对人体的袭击,还可指对某一事情〔问题〕进行的公关,此时译作“着手做”。
3. attack主要用作及物动词,较少用作不及物动词。其主语多为人,动物或疾病等,宾语为被攻击的对象,既可以为人,也可以为具体或抽象的物或事物(如目标、方针政策、文章、言论、工作、难题等)。
4. attack是中性词,可用于正面的、积极的意义,也可用于负面的、消极的场合。

n.(名词)

1. attack是表示抽象概念的名词,多指具有主动性的、事前毫无警告的、一方向另一方发动各种形式的“攻击”或是指一项具体的行动或活动,引申可表示为在言论上的对某人论点、意见或声誉进行的“抨击”,或是疾病对人体的“侵袭”,也可指对某一事情进行时“开始的方式”。
2. attack在句中既可用作主语,也可用作宾语。

1. 常用的搭配有attack on someone或是attack against someone，指“攻击某人”。

v.(动词)

1.attack是表示“攻击”的普通用语,通常用于事前无警告甚至是无理由的攻击。例如:

The army attacked at night when the enemy was asleep.在夜间敌人熟睡时军队发起了攻击。

Hong Kong had been attacked by Japan at nearly the same moment as Pearl Harbour.香港是差不多和珍珠港同时受到日本袭击的。
