  • 词义辨析

    at (first) sight, at (the) first sight of

    这两个短语意思不同:前者意为“乍一看”,含义是“仅凭表面而未深入探究”, first前没有定冠词the,多位于句末; 后者意为“一见到…(就)”,强调两个动作的连续性, first前常有定冠词the,可置于句末,亦可置于句首。另外, at (the) sight of常可转换为as soon as引导的时间状语从句。例如:
    They fell in love at first sight.
    他们俩一见钟情。
    The little rabbit darted to its mother at the sight of a man.
    这小兔子看到人,匆忙跳到母兔处。

    catch sight of, catch a sight of

    这两个短语意思有差别:前者意为“一下子看到…”,后者意为“突然看了…一眼”。例如:
    I caught sight of her hurrying away but I didn't try to speak to her.
    我看见她匆忙地走开,但我并没有跟 她讲话。
    She caught a sight of me.
    她突然看了我一眼。

    in sight of, in the sight of

    这两个短语意思不同:前者意为“能看见”,而后者意为“在某人看来”。例如:

    sight, prospect, scene, scenery, view

    这组词都有“景色”的意思。它们的区别是:
    1.prospect指从高处眺望所见到的景色,前景; scene指局部的、一眼可见全貌的风景或景色,不限于自然的风景,也常指(戏剧、电影、小说等的)场景、布景; scenery则指某一国家或某一地区的整体的自然风景; sight指眼见的景色,如供人游览之地的“景”或“景色”,尤指人工制成的景; view则主要指从高处俯视到的景色。例如:
    The prospect from the hill is yet more beautiful.从山上眺望风景更为美丽。
    The West Lake is remarkable for its scenery.西湖以其风景著名。
    The Great Wall is one of the most breath-taking sights in the world.长城是世界上最惊人的壮观景象之一。
    There is a lovely view from this window.从这个窗子可以看到一片秀丽的景色。
    2.view和scene所表达的景色都是scenery中的一部分,都可指眼里看到的每日自然的景色,但view是最一般的用语,而scene则是由“舞台场景”的意义引申而来的,用的少些。

    scene指具体的、局部的或一时的景色,可以是自然形成的,也可人工造成的。
