1. 占据：进而被用来喻指发自内心地追求某项事业;OCCUPATION(职业)指的则是规律性地,但如小和尚有口无心撞钟般地从事某件事而已. 是故, 有一个职业,仅仅是象模象样地占据(occupy)了一席之地,至于是否有发自内心的喜爱与敬畏则要另当别论了.

v.(动词)

1. occupy的基本意思是指时间、空间、地点方面的占有,引申可用于指某人占据某个职位或发挥某种作用。
2. occupy只用作及物动词,接名词或代词作宾语。occupy常用于occupy oneself in/with v -ing句型中表示“从事于”“忙于”,可用于被动结构。

v.(动词)

occupy, have, have got, hold, own

这组词(组)的共同意思是“有”“拥有”“具有”。其区别是：

1.have既可指有生命物及无生命物之间的所属关系,也可指部分与整体的关系,或指精神上、身体上的特点; have got与have意义相同,但在口语中比have用得广泛; own则指具有在法律上的所有权,即使不在身边的东西,只要拥有法律上的所有权,就应用own; hold语气较强,有占据、控制、抓住〔保持〕住某物的意思; 而occupy则指占有空间、时间或占领、占据某地,或拥有某种职务或地位等。例如:

I didn't have the books that she asked for.我没有她所要的书。

Your books have got all over the place.你的书到处都是。

They don't hold the power to hire or fire at will.他们没有雇用或随意解雇的权力。

Enemy troops occupied the country.敌军占领了这个国家。

2.have是普通用语,在这几个词中概念最广,运用最广泛。own的主语只能是人。例如:

These enterprises are owned by him.这些企业是属于他的。

• ☆ 1340年左右进入英语，直接源自古法语的occuper；最初源自古典拉丁语的occupare，意为占据，掌握，拥有，占用。
