v.(动词)

breathe的基本意思是“呼吸”,即生物体与外界进行气体交换。可以表示“呼吸”,也可指单独地呼出(与out连用)或单独地“吸入”(与in连用)。引申可表示“吐露”,在书面语里breathe还可引出直接引语,作“说出”解。

breathe可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词,接名词或代词作宾语。

breathe可接同源宾语,以加强动作的意义,但在固定短语里常省略并与物主代词连用,如breathe one's last。

breathe作“吐露”解时通常用于否定句,吐露的内容由介词about引出,而“向…吐露”则须接介词to。

v.(动词)他停下来,深深地吸了一口气。

误 He stopped to take a deep breathe.

正 He stopped to take a deep breath.

析 breathe是动词,其名词是breath。
