一、詳細(xì)釋義:


v.

花費(fèi);消耗;用光;耗盡 [T]


例句:

Children expend a lot of energy and may need more high-energy food than adults.

孩子們消耗很多能量,可能比成年人需要更多高能量的食物。


例句:

He has expend much time and energy on that experiment.

他已經(jīng)花費(fèi)許多時(shí)間、金錢在那實(shí)驗(yàn)上。


二、詞義辨析:


cost,expend,spend,take

這些動(dòng)詞均含“花費(fèi)”之意。 cost指花費(fèi)時(shí)間、金錢、勞力等。其主語(yǔ)是物,而不能由人充當(dāng),也不用被動(dòng)形式。 expend較正式用詞,通常指為某一專門目的而花費(fèi)大量金錢、時(shí)間或精力。 spend普通用詞,與cost基本同義,但主語(yǔ)必須是人。 take普通用詞,指需要占用空間、時(shí)間或精力等,其主語(yǔ)可以是人,也可以是一件事情。


三、參考例句:


He has expend much time and energy on that experiment.

他已經(jīng)花費(fèi)許多時(shí)間、金錢在那實(shí)驗(yàn)上。
