adj.(形容词)

1. present作形容词表示“出席的,到场的”“存在的,含有的”时在句中主要用作表语,偶尔用作定语,一般须后置。表示“现在的,目前的,现行的”“正在处理或讨论中的”时只用作前置定语。
2. present无比较级和最高级。

n.(名词)

1. present用作“现在,目前”解时,通常与定冠词the连用,只用作单数名词。
2. present作“礼物”解时,一般指亲友间互送的“礼物”或“赠品”,多是出于好意、礼貌或尊敬等而予以赠送,并不一定期望报答或回赠。是可数名词。

v.(动词)

1. present的基本意思是“出现”,指人时多指“到场”“出席”,指物或事物时则指“显示”。多接反身代词作宾语。
2. present也可作“介绍”“引见”解,多用于涉及的人地位高低不等的场合。
3. present可作“赠送,给予”解,此时多接双宾语,其间接宾语可以转化为介词to的宾语。

1. at present，for the present都属于固定搭配格式，不能修改成at the present，in present等其他格式。前者指“现在”，后者指“暂时”；
2. at present同presently意思不同，但前者常用于现在时，表示“目前”，后者则常用于将来时，表示“一会儿”；
3. present和gift的比较：present指“礼物”，但gift可以不是“礼物”。Birthday/Christmas gift中，gift属于礼物。在别人需要而将东西送给他时，如一本旧书或是把书捐给图书馆，都属于gift，但不算送“礼”；
4. 表示“把…送给（某人)”的几种说法：

   He presented a book to her.
   值得注意的是，present 作动词时，很少有双宾语。

5. present作形容词时，常用于名词后，指“出席的”。

   There are other people present.
   还有其他人出席。

adj.(形容词)

be present, attend

这两者均可译为“出席”。二者的区别是：attend强调的是过程, be present强调的是状态。例如:

I attended a meeting this morning.

今天上午我参加了一个会议。

He was present at the scene.

他当时在场。

n.(名词)

at present, for the present

这两个短语常可互换使用,但含义并不完全相同。at present指说话的当时; 而for the present则指短时间之内。试比较：

He can't come at present.

他目前不能来。(只指目前)

He can't come for the present.

他暂时不能来。(过一会可能来)

present, gift

这两个词的共同意思是“礼物”。其区别是：

1.gift常指贵重的礼品,可以是具体的,也可以是抽象的东西; present则往往指一般的具体的礼物,价值可高可低。

2.赠送gift往往被看作慷慨的行为; 而赠送present则往往出于好心、礼貌、尊敬等。

3.gift多指送给团体、机构或个人的礼品,一般没有回赠; present则多指送给亲友的礼品,往往有回赠。例如:

The company makes a yearly gift to the Fund.这家公司一年一度向该基金会捐赠。

We bought a wedding present for John.我们给约翰买了一件结婚礼物。

4.gift是比较正式的用语; present则多用于非正式场合。

5.gift的主体的身份可高于客体,也可低于客体,而present的主体的身份一般都低于客体或与客体相当。

v.(动词)

present, introduce

这两个词都有“介绍”的意思。其区别在于:

1.introduce的客体可以是人或物,而present的客体则只能是人。例如:

Let me introduce a new method of work to you.让我向你们介绍一种新的工作方法。

The new employees were presented to the rest of the staff.新雇员被介绍给其余职员。

2.introduce适用于涉及的人在地位上彼此平等的场合; present则适用于涉及的人地位高低不等的场合。例如:

He introduced the guests to each other.他介绍客人们互相认识。

Freshmen are presented to the president of the college.一年级学生被介绍给学院院长。

present, offer, prefer, proffer, tender

这组词都可表示“提出”。它们之间的区别是：

1.present特指通过礼仪形式或彬彬有礼的行为向对方提供考虑、选择或认可的服务、建议或物品。

2.offer是最基本、最常用的词,表示主动奉献某物或提出别人可能接受或拒绝的建议、意见、职务等。例如:

The teacher offered a few ideas to improve the plan.老师提出了几点改进计划的意见。

She offered to help me to learn English.她提出要帮我学英语。

3.proffer强调因慷慨所产生的自愿奉献行为,是较正式用语。例如:

Many people proffered blood and skin for the badly burnt worker.很多人要求为那个严重烧伤的工人献血献皮。

4.tender专指在公务上或法律上呈请正式批准,作一般用法时,强调温和有礼。例如:

She tendered him her resignation.她向他提交了辞呈。

5.prefer只用在19世纪的英语中或某些法律场合才表示“提出”。例如:

The police preferred a charge against the motorist.警方控告那个汽车司机。

Will the police prefer charges against the boys or just give them a warning?警方会控告那些男孩吗?还是只给他们一个警告?

present, award, confer, give, grant

这组词都有“给予”的意思。其区别是：

give是最普通用语。present较正式,指以一定的形式或程序赠给,并暗示所给的物有一定的价值。例如:

When Mr. Brown left the firm, the director presented a gold watch to him.布朗先生离开这家公司时,董事长送给他一只金表。

grant指依照对方的希望或要求给予,有权者以正式手续给予。例如:

They have been granted permission to pull down the old theatre.他们已获准拆除这座旧戏院。

award指有充分理由给予奖赏。例如:

She's been awarded a scholarship to study at Oxford University.她获得了去牛津大学念书的奖学金。

confer指地位较高者把名誉或地位授予较低者。例如:

An honorary degree was conferred on him by the university.这所大学授予他荣誉学位。

下面的句子意思不同：

He presented a pistol to me.

他送了我一支手枪。

He presented a pistol at me.

他拿手枪对着我。

下面的句子意思相同：

He presented me a book.

He presented a book to me.

He presented me with a book.

他送我一本书。

modern，contemporary，current，recent，present，up-to-date

这些形容词均有“现代的、当代的”之意。

modern指现代或近代，时期可长可短；也可指新颖、时髦的。

contemporary仅指当今这个时代，不涉及任何过去的时代，但可表示不同的人或物存在于同一时代。

current指目前存在和发生的。

recent表示新近的，最近的，时间的长短依据所修饰的人或物而定。

present是这些词中语气最强的一个。指现在正发生、起作用的。

up-to-date一般用于非正式场合，指很时新、能反映当前的最新发展。

offer，present，propose，volunteer

这些动词均含“提出、提供”之意。

offer最普通用词，多指主动提出或提供意见或东西等，但是否接受由对方自行决定。

present既可指提出意见、建议等，又可指拿出某物供人欣赏或赠送。

propose指直接而主动地提出问题或建议等，也指在讨论或争辨中提出具体意见或建议。

volunteer与offer同义，侧重出于自愿，而不是奉命做某事。

adj.(形容词)

她昨天没有出席会议。

误 She was not present for the meeting yesterday.

正 She was not present at the meeting yesterday.

析 表示“出席会议”,应该说 be present at the meeting。

他是唯一在场的英国人。

误 He was the only present Englishman.

正 He was the only Englishman present.

析 形容词present作“在场”“出席”解时,如果修饰名词作定语,一般要放在名词之后。

现在中国的形势非常好。

误 The situation in the present China is very good.

正 The present situation in China is very good.

析 中国只有一个,不是“暂时的”事物,故不可说the present China。

n.(名词)

误 I have not any dictionary at the present.

正 I have not any dictionary at present.

我们厂现在有2000名工人。

误 At present day there are two thousand workers in our factory.

正 At the present day there are two thousand workers in our factory.

析 表示“目前”,应该说at present,这是固定短语,其中present前没有定冠词。但当present后还有其他名词时, present前就须加定冠词,此时的present是形容词。

暂时我们最好什么也不做。

误 For present we had better do nothing.

正 For the present we had better do nothing.

析 说“暂时”,用for the present, present前必须有the。

这块表是我父母送我的生日礼物。

误 This watch is a birthday present of my parents.

正 This watch is a birthday present from my parents.

析 “ 由某人处收到的礼物”用a present from sb,其中的from不能换作of,因为of含有“所有权”的意味,误句应译为“这表是我父母的生日礼物”。

v.(动词)

总统为获奖者颁奖。

误 The President presented the prize winners the prizes.

正 The President presented the prize winners with the prizes.

析 作“授予”解时不用于present sb sth 结构,须用present sb with sth 结构。
