2. dream可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时后接名词、代词、同源名词、带有疑问词的动词不定式或that/wh-从句作宾语,从句中的that可以省略,从句中的谓语动词可用虚拟语气。
3. dream跟介词of连用时,除表示“梦见”“梦到”外,还可表示一种虚幻的想象,即“幻想”“梦想”,也可表示一种渴望已久且有可能实现的愿望,即“渴望”。与not, little或never连用时表示“想不到”。
4. dream of在作“考虑,想象”解时常用于否定句和疑问句。
5. dream on作“痴心妄想”解,常用于反语中。
6. would not dream of...常表示“不会去做…,不能去做…”,尤指从道德方面的原因考虑不能做某事。
7. dream的过去式和过去分词有两种形式,即dreamed和dreamt。在美式英语中多用dreamed,在英式英语中两者都可以用。

v.(动词)

dream about, dream of

表示在梦中的经历或见到的情境,即“梦见”“梦到”时,一般二者可换用。其区别在于:表示“做梦”“梦想”时接about或of均可,而在表示“考虑”“想”“渴望”时,通常接of。例如:

The boy dreamed of becoming a pilot.这男孩想成为飞行员。

I often dream about〔of〕 the time when my work will be finished.我常常梦想我的工作有朝一日能结束。

The soldier often dreams about〔of〕 home.这士兵经常梦到家。

下面三句意思相同:

He dreamed a dream of flying an aeroplane.

He dreamed that he was flying an aeroplane.

He had a dream of flying an aeroplane.

他梦见坐飞机。

n.(名词)

我从来不做梦。

误 I never have dream.

正 I never have dreams.

孩子在梦中笑了。

误 The child smiles in dream.

正 The child smiles in dreams.

析 dream不可以作抽象名词统指“梦,做梦”,而是指一个一个的“梦”。

她到欧洲去旅行的梦想实现了。

误 Her dream to travel in Europe has come true.

正 Her dream of travelling in Europe has come true.

析 dream如需和非谓语动词搭配,须用“of+动名词”结构,而不可用动词不定式。

v.(动词)

我年轻时梦想能成为一名领航员。

误 I dreamed to become a pilot when I was young.

正 I dreamed of becoming a pilot when I was young.

析 dream后不能直接接动词不定式,只能接“of+动名词”。

昨晚我做了一个奇怪的梦。

误 I saw a strange dream last night.

正 I had dreamt a strange dream last night.

析 “梦见”不可按汉语方式译成see a dream。

• ☆ 13世纪中期进入英语，直接源自古北欧语的draumr，意为梦。
