v.(动词)

1. operate的基本意思是“运转”“操作”,多指开动(机器等),引申可表示“经营”“管理”,主要用于美式英语中。operate用作及物动词时,接名词、代词或动词不定式作宾语。
2. operate也可作“对…施行手术”“产生影响”解。此时常接介词on,再接某人或某人的某个部位。如果表达“为某人施某种手术”,则用介词for来引出“某种手术”,即operate on sb for sth,这种结构可用于被动形式。

v.(动词)

operate, function, work

这三个词都有“功能”“作用”的意思。其区别在于： operate更强调成功大于结果; work暗示成功、有效; function暗示某物之目的、任务和结果。

operate, manage, run

三者都表示“经营”“管理”。它们的区别是：

1.operate含所有人与代理人共同经营的意思。

2.manage指对经营的工厂、商店等全面的监督,包括处理问题和日常事务,但不一定拥有所有权。例如:

She managed the shop while the owner was away.店主出门去的时候,她照管商店。

She manages the money very well.她理财有方。

3.run指使经营管理的工厂、企业等运转起来,多为自筹资金,拥有所有权。例如:

Mr. Smith runs a grocery shop.史密斯先生经营一家杂货店。

They ran the nurseries extremely well.他们把托儿所办得很好。

v.(动词)

医生决定马上给病人做手术。

误 The doctor decided to operate the patient right away.

正 The doctor decided to operate on the patient right away.

外科医生为她施行了肿瘤切除手术。

误 The surgeons operated on her a tumour.

正 The surgeons operated on her for a tumour.

析 operate作“对…施行手术,对…开刀”解时须接介词on,再接某人,即operate on sb 结构。在表达“为某人施某种手术”时,则用介词for来引出“某种手术”,即operate on sb for sth 结构。
