■present


1. 作为形容词(重音在第一音节),present放在名词之前表示“现在的、目前的”。例如at the present time在目前 / in the present case在当前这件事情上 / the present writer作者(我)。放在名词之后作为定语或表语,则表示“在场的”。例如all those present 全体到会者 / a protein present in the blood血液中包含的一种蛋白质 / She was present at the ceremony. 她参加了该仪式。试比较:the members present到会的成员,the present members现有的成员。


2. 作为动词(重音在末音节,及物,第四类),同provide和supply相似,搭配比较特别,可以是容易理解的to present something to somebody。例如to present a petition to the government向政府提出请愿,但也可以是to present somebody with something。例如This model of monopoly presents the world with the threat that energy supplies can be broken off at any moment for political, not economic, reasons.这种垄断模式,使得全世界面临一个威胁,就是能源供应随时可能因为政治原因而非经济原因而被切断。
