v.动词
这肉能放到明天吗?❌ Is this meat keeping until tomorrow? ✔️ Will this meat keep until tomorrow? 析 keep作“食物等放得住,保持新鲜”解时不用进行体。 他们源源不断地向我们提供蔬菜。❌ They kept us supplying with vegetables. ✔️ They kept us supplied with vegetables. 析 keep在表示被动承受意义时，接过去分词短语充当宾语补足语。 没有什么能阻止我爱她。❌ Nothing can keep me to love her. ✔️ Nothing can keep me from loving her. 析 表示“阻止某人做某事”应该说keep sb from v -ing,而不能说keep sb to- v 。
v.动词
keep open doors, keep the door open这两个短语区别有三: 1.前者的意思是“好客”或“对客人盛情招待”; 后者的意思是“使门保持开着”。 2.前者中的doors是复数形式,其前无冠词; 而后者中的door则根据实际情况，可用单数,也可用复数。 3.前者中的open位于doors之前,作定语; 后者中的open位于door之后,作宾语补足语。 keep shop, keep a shop这两个短语的区别是: 1.前者的意思是“照管店务”; 后者的意思是“开一个店铺”。 2.前者中的shop是不可数名词,无单复数之分; 后者中的shop是可数名词,可根据实际情况而用单复数。例如: His father kept two shops in the countryside.他父亲在乡间开了两个小店。keep silent, keep silence这两个短语意思不能混淆:前者的意思是“不吭声”或“默不作声”,后者的意思是“保持安静”。试比较: He was unable to keep silent any longer.他再也不能保持沉默了。
I hope you will keep silence while I am away.我出去后,我希望你安静些。keep v-ing, keep on v-ing这两个短语意思相同,在表示每隔一段时间就发生的动作时,一般可互换。其区别仅在于: 1.keep v -ing中的 v -ing是分词作表语, keep on v -ing中的 v -ing是动名词作宾语。 2.keep v -ing强调动作的连续性和客观性; 而keep on v -ing强调动作的重复性或动作执行者的决心,常含有一定的感情色彩。 3.keep v -ing还可表示持续不间断的状态或动作,而keep on v -ing无此用法。 keep one's word, promise这两者均含有“许诺”之意。其区别是： promise指“许诺”,只指意图,而不指义务,只指美好的愿望,不指坏的意图; keep one's word则指作出promise后遵守自己的诺言。例如: He promised to come and see me today, but he failed to keep his word.他答应今天来看我,但他没能守约。
I'll keep my word;I'll tell him everything.我将遵守诺言,把一切告诉他。keep, detain这组词都有“留住,耽搁”的意思。其区别在于: 1.detain尤指警察进行“拘留”,一般指“留住,耽搁”时,常含有强迫之意; keep多用于口语中。 2.detain比keep语气重,且更正式。 keep, hold这两个词都有“保存,保持”的意思,其区别在于:keep“保存”或“保持”的时间较长,而hold“保存”或“保持”的时间较短。 keep, preserve, reserve, retain这组词都有“保存”“保留”或“保持”的意思。其区别在于: 1.keep指把某一事物置于自己的权力或管理之下; retain和reserve同义,均指继续“保持”或“保存”某事物, retain是较为正式的用语,还可指记住某事; preserve指把某物“收藏”或“保存”好。 2.retain含有不失去的意味; reserve则强调继续保持而不致失去; preserve强调防止破坏作用,要采取措施使某物完好无损或质量不变。例如: His business has been taken over by a big corporation, but he still retains some control over it.他的商店被一家大公司接管了,但他仍保留部分控制权。
You'd better reserve your strength for tomorrow's climb.你最好留点力气明天爬山。
Salt preserves food from decay.盐能防止食物腐烂。keep the door open, leave the door open这两者都是“让门开着的意思”,其区别在于:前者是有意地,后者多是无意地。试比较以下两句: Do not leave the door open at night!夜间不要让门开着!
She kept the door open at night to wait for her husband.她夜间一直开着门等丈夫回来。keep away from, avoid, evade, shun这组词组都有“逃避,避开”的意思,它们的区别是： 1.evade多用于指避开当前极不希望的事物或场合; shun则多用于避开一贯不喜欢的事物或场合; 而avoid则既可指避开当前极不希望的事物或场合,也可指避开一贯不喜欢的事物或场合。 2.avoid强调消极地避开; evade多指用巧妙而有策略的方法积极避开; shun指主体积极设法避开,但表示不愿接近的心情更鲜明。 3.avoid, evade, shun都可用名词作宾语,但avoid和shun还可用动名词作直接宾语。 4.keep away from常用于口语,指避开、不接近。 keep up with, catch up with这两个短语都可表示“赶上”。其区别是： catch up with表示从落后的状态迎头赶上; keep up with表示跟上某人以至不落后。例如: You go on;I will soon catch up with you.你先走,我很快会赶上你的。
She had to run to keep up with them.她得跑步才能跟上他们。keep still, hold still这两个短语中hold和keep都用作系动词, still是形容词作表语,在作“坚持不动”解时,两者可互换,只是hold still是美式英语; 而keep still是英式英语。另外, keep still还有“保持沉默”的意思,而hold still则无此义。 keep，retain，reserve，preserve，conserve，withhold这些动词均有“保持，保存”之意。 keep最常用词，指长时间牢固地保持或保存。 retain指继续保持。 reserve正式用词，指为了将来的用途或其他用途而保存、保留。 preserve主要指为防止损害、变质等而保存。 conserve一般指保存自然资源，保全人的精力、力量等。 withhold指扣住不放，暗示有阻碍。 raise，keep，support，feed这四个词都有“抚养”、“养家”、“赡养”的意思，但也有区别。 raise意为“抚养指人；饲养指动物或禽畜”之意。 keep表示“养活指人；饲养指动物或禽畜”。 support意为“养活”，不用于饲养动物。 feed意为“喂养；饲养；以…为食”。 来自古英语cepan,抓住，握住，保持，观察，来自Proto-Germanic*kopijan,看，注视，来自PIE*gab,照看，看管。比较hold,behold.
