v.(动词)

spend的基本意思是“花费时间、精力或金钱”,可指人使用、花费金钱,度过时光,也可指某人、物、事使尽〔耗光〕力量、能量、弹药等,还可指人在某物、事方面花费金钱、精力、时间等。

spend可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词。用作及物动词时,只能以人作主语,接名词、代词作宾语。可用于被动结构。

spend的宾语后可接动词不定式,表示目的,作状语。

spend的宾语后常可接以介词in〔on,for〕引导的短语表示“把…花在…上”,介词宾语可以是名词,也可以是动名词。以动名词作宾语时介词in常可省略,尤其在口语中。

spend可用于“主+谓+宾+主补”结构,主语补足语可由形容词或过去分词充当。

v.(动词)她耗费了三个小时看电视。

误 She spent three hours to watch TV.

正 She spent three hours (in) watching TV.

他花了许多时间为考试做准备。

误 He spent much time to prepare for the examination.

正 He spent much time preparing for the examination.

析 当强调“花费时间做某事”时,常用spend time (in) v -ing, in可以省略,但spend后不能用动词不定式。

昨天晚上我去看电影了,你怎么度过的?

误 Last night I went to a movie.How did you spend?

正 Last night I went to a movie.How did you spend the night?

析 spend表示“度过”时是及物动词,其后要接宾语。

我们在纽约过得很愉快。

误 We spent a good time in New York.

正 We had a good time in New York.

析 表示“过得愉快,玩得高兴”可用成语have a good time〔enjoy oneself〕,不可说spend a good time。

我们去电影院,以消磨火车到达以前的那段时间。

误 We went to the cinema to spend the time until the train arrived.

正 We went to the cinema to pass the time until the train arrived.

析 spend和pass都可表示“度过(时间)”,但是为避免无所事事或感觉厌烦而做某事以消磨时间通常用pass。
