v.(动词)

1. encourage的基本意思是“鼓励”,指给予意志薄弱的人或缺乏经验的人不畏艰险、困苦的勇气和信心,或者提高某人的情绪,去迎接或完成艰巨的任务,引申可表示为“怂恿”“促进”“助长”“援助”等。
2. encourage只用作及物动词,通常接名词、代词或“名词所有格〔物主代词〕+动名词”作宾语; 也可接以动词不定式充当补足语的复合宾语,此时动词不定式可能指未来的动作,也可指正在进行的动作; 还可接介词in引起的短语,表示鼓励某人目前正在做的某种事情。encourage可用于被动结构。
3. encourage的主语一般是人,偶尔也可以物作主语,这时的意思是“有助于”。
4. encourage的宾语一般也是人,如接非人称宾语,则意为鼓励某人做、干、形成、使用等,可以理解为鼓励人去行动的省略形式。encourage在接“名词所有格〔物主代词〕+动名词”作宾语时,不可用于被动结构。
5. encourage的现在分词encouraging常可用作形容词,在句中作定语; 其过去分词encouraged也可用作形容词,在句中作表语。

encourage sb to-v, encourage sb in sth

cheer指帮助萎靡不振的人重新焕发精神或勇气去进行最后的奋斗; encourage是指对意志薄弱的人或缺乏经验的人加以“鼓舞,鼓励”等,其宾语后面可接带to的不定式,也可接介词“in＋名词短语”。例如:

excite指通过刺激某人的感情或情绪使人达到兴奋状态。例如:

The news of the victory excited everybody very much.听到那胜利的消息,人人兴奋不已。

She smiled and this emboldened him to speak to her.她微微一笑,这使他壮起胆来跟她说话。

He steeled himself to tell her about her father's death.他硬起了心肠把她父亲的死讯告诉了她。

1.encourage指给予某人希望和信心,或者提高某人的情绪。

We have said several times that we will never countenance violence.我们多次说过,永远不会暗中支持或纵容暴力。
