| 释义 | 〔drunk〕As an adjective the formdrunk is used predicatively while the formdrunken is now used only attributively: 作为形容词，drunk 用作表语， 而现在drunken 仅用作定语： 〔drunk〕In most contextsthe attributive use ofdrunk is considered unacceptable in formal style. But the phrasesdrunk driver and drunk driving are supported not only by common usage but also, in many jurisdictions, by a legal distinction between the expressions 在大部分情况下，正式场合中drunk 不用作定语。 但不仅一般用法支持drunk driver 和 drunk driving 的说法， 而且许多法律裁决在法律上区分 〔Jew〕It is widely recognized that the attributive use of the nounJew, in phrases such as Jew lawyer or Jew ethics, is both offensive and vulgar. In such contextsJewish is the only acceptable possibility. But some people have become so wary of this constructionthat they have overgeneralized the anathema to any use of the noun,a practice that carries risks of its own.In a sentence such asThere are now several Jews on the council, which is unexceptionable, the substitution of a circumlocution likeJewish people or persons of Jewish background may unwittingly suggest an unwarranted and hence suspect delicacy.通常认为名词Jew 用作定语的用法是无礼的和粗俗的，例如 犹太人律师 或 犹太种族 。 在这样的上下文中，Jewish 是唯一可能被接受的。 但一些人对这种构词方式已变得极为小心，以至他们将针对这个名词任何用法上的厌恶过于一般化，这是一种给这个词带来危险的作法。例这句话在现在的内阁里有一些犹太人 就是无懈可击的， 一种迂回的替换说法象犹太人 或 有犹太背景的人 可以无意之中表明这只是一个未证实的事， 因此只是一种微妙的猜测〔lube〕Often used to modify another noun:用作定语：经常用来修饰另外一个名词：〔whatever〕Bothwhatever and what ever can be used in sentences such as Whatever (or What ever ) made her say that? Critics have occasionally objected to the one-word form,but it is supported by extensive precedent in reputable writing.The same is true of the formswhoever, whenever, wherever, and however when these expressions are used similarly. In adjectival uses only the one-word form is used:Take whatever (not what ever ) books you need. ? When a clause beginning withwhatever is the subject of a sentence, no comma should be used: Whatever you do is right. Otherwise, a comma may be used:Whatever you do, don't burn the toast. ? When the phrase preceding a restrictive clause is introduced bywhichever or whatever, that should not be used in formal writing. It is regarded as incorrect to writewhatever book that you want to look at; one should write insteadWhatever book you want to look at will be sent to your office or Whichever book costs less (not that costs less ) is fine with us. See Usage Note at however ,that whatever 和 what ever 这两个词都可用在例如 Whatever （或 What ever ) made her say that?（究竟是什么使得她说那样的话?） 这样的句子里。 批评家们经常反对单一词形，但有声望作品的大量先例却支持了单词形式。同样地，当whoever, whenever, wherever 及 however 这些表述被用于类似情况时，其情形也是如此。 用作定语时只用单词形式：Take whatever （不是 what ever ） books you need。（拿那些你要的书） ？ whatever 为句首的从句作句子主语时，不能用逗号： Whatever you do is right（无论你做什么都是对的）。 在其他情况可以用逗号：Whatever you do, don't burn the toast（不管你做什么，不要烤糊了吐司） ? 当先于一限定性从句的短语是由whichever 或 whatever引入时， that不能用在正式文体中。 这样的句子：whatever book that you want to look at（无论哪本你想看的书） 是被看作不正确的； 相反应该是Whatever book you want to look at will be sent to your office（你想看的任何一本书都将会送到你的办公室去） 或者 Whichever book costs less （不是 that costs less ) is fine with us（花费少一些的书比较适合我们） 参见 however,that〔missile〕Often used to modify another noun:弹道导弹：用作定语修饰另一个名词：〔ringside〕Often used as an attributive:常常用作定语：〔Formica〕A trademark used for a variety of high-pressure laminated plastic sheets of synthetic resin employed especially as a heat-resistant and chemical-resistant surface on tables and counters. This trademark sometimes occurs in print in attributive uses:丽光板：一商标名称，用作一种高温压薄的塑料合成树脂，尤用作桌子和柜台的能耐高温和抗化学物质的桌面。这种商标有时可用作定语：〔Breathalyzer〕A trademark used for a device that detects and measures alcohol in expired air so as to determine the concentration of alcohol in a person's blood. This trademark, often used attributively, sometimes occurs in print in lowercase:呼气测醉器：通过检测和测量呼出空气中的酒精含量，来确定某人血液中的酒精浓度的一种仪器的商标。该商标名常用作定语，有时用小写体印出： |
