  • 词义辨析

    company, accompany

    这两个词词形和词义相近,但前者是动词,多指动态; 后者是名词,常指静态,常作keep, bear等的宾语补足语。

    keep sb company, accompany sb

    这两个短语都可译为“陪伴”,它们的区别在于:
    keep sb company的目的是使某人不寂寞,“伴”本身就是目的; 而accompany sb的目的不仅是“伴”,更主要的是去(哪里)或做(什么),其后常接副词或副词性短语。试比较:
    Sit here and keep me company for a while.
    坐在这儿陪我一会儿吧!
    Will you accompany me in drinking a glass of wine?

    in company of, in the company of, in company with

    这三个短语的区别是:in company of的意思是“在…陪同下”; in the company of和in company with都表示“和…在一起”,但in the company of只用于人或动物,不用于无生命的东西或事物; 而in company with可用于无生命的东西或事物。例如:
