乍然看来,act as和 act like是两个同义短语,在涵义上无甚区别可言,其实不然。 Act as的意思是“充当”、“担任”,相当于 serve as,可与人或物词如:doctor、director、interpreter、guide、coach、 teacher、go-between、furniture、tools等字搭配使用。as是连词,引导一个省略了谓语的状语从句。例: This herb can act as an antidote1 against snakebite. 这种药草可以用作蛇咬的解毒药。 Last summer she acted as a guide for tourists. 去年夏天,她担任旅游向导。 This coin may act as a screwdriver2. 这枚硬币可以充当螺丝起子用。 Mr.Liu acted as group leader while Mr.Zhang was ill. 张先生生病时,刘先生任组长。 请注意,有时候,act for与act as的意义颇相近,但它们在表示概念方面互不相同。act as是“(临时)充当”或“起…的作用”; act for则表示“代理”的涵义。请比较下一句和前述句: Mr.Liu acted for Mr.Zhang while,the latter was ill. 张先生患病期间,刘先生代理他的工作。 Act like的意思是“行为像”、“举动像”,相当于英语的 to act in the manner of,它常与人或动物名词连用。like是介词,其后接宾语。例: That child acts like a grown-up. 那个孩子的举动像成年人一样。 Don't act like a fool! 别像傻瓜一般! His refusal of our offer acted like a wet blanket. 他拒绝了我们的建议,真使我们扫兴。 点击收听单词发音
