用法辨析

n. (名詞)

• rock作“礁石”“巨石”解時,是可數(shù)名詞,常用作復數(shù)形式; 作“巖,巖層”“搖擺舞,搖滾樂”解時,是不可數(shù)名詞。
• rock還可作“小石頭”解,主要用于美式英語中,是不可數(shù)名詞。

v. (動詞)

• rock的基本意思是“(使)來回擺動”,指物體在外力作用下來回搖擺,多指猛烈搖動將其高高抬起,并常含有塌落危險的意味。引申可表示為“使震驚”“使受震動”等。
• rock既可用作及物動詞,也可用作不及物動詞。用作及物動詞時,接名詞、代詞作賓語; 用作不及物動詞時,常與介詞連用。
• rock是物質(zhì)名詞，表示“石”。在英式英語中a rock指“一塊巖石”或者“一塊大石頭”，約有一百斤重，不指那種三兩重的小石頭。不過，在美式英語中，a rock也可以指“一塊小石頭”的意思。
