v.(动词)

grow的基本意思有三:一是“种植”,指培植树木、庄稼等; 二是“生长,发育”,指由于自然地发展而变大或成熟; 三是“渐渐变得”,引申可指“形成”。总起来说,指由小变大、由少变多,强调渐变的过程。

grow作“种植”解时是及物动词,接名词或代词作宾语,也可接以名词或形容词充当补足语的复合宾语。

grow作“生长”“发育”解时是不及物动词,其后接介词或副词表示各种附加意义。

grow作“渐渐变成”解时是不及物动词,其后常接动词不定式作状语,表示结果。有时也可用作系动词,后接名词、形容词(多为比较级)或相当于形容词的过去分词作表语。

grow的过去分词grown和现在分词growing都可用作形容词,在句中作定语。

v.(动词)越来越小。

误 It grows smaller and smaller.

正 It becomes smaller and smaller.

析 grow表示“变得”这一概念时,表示“由小增大”或“由少增多”,不能表示“减小”或“减少”,表示“减小”“减少”须用become。

他是在乡下长大的。

误 He was grown up in the countryside.

正 He grew up in the countryside.

析 grow up表示“成长”时是不及物动词短语,不能用于被动结构。

她在屋后种了些蔬菜。

误 She plants vegetables behind her house.

正 She grows vegetables behind her house.

析 grow和plant都有“种植”的意思,但grow多用于种植粮食、蔬菜、经济作物等,而plant多用于“植树”。

他越想越生气。

误 The more he thought about it, the more angrily he grew.

正 The more he thought about it, the angrier he grew.

析 grow表示“变得”时是系动词,后接形容词作表语,而不能接副词。

约翰的坏脾气导致了他现在的不幸境地。

误 John's present unfortunate position grew from his bad temper.

正 John's present unfortunate position grew out of his bad temper.

争执常常是由误会引起的。

误 Arguments often grow from misunderstanding.

正 Arguments often grow out of misunderstanding.

析 grow from表示“从…长大”“由…发展”,主语和介词宾语是属于同一范畴、同一属性的东西。而grow后面跟复合介词结构out of意为“由…产生”,主语和介词宾语不一定是同一范畴或同一属性的东西。
