v.(动词)

catch的基本意思是“抓住”,指通过追踪、计谋、武力或突然袭击等方式抓住运动着的或隐藏的某人或某物。引申可指“吸引”某人的注意力。catch还可表示“理解”“患病”等。

catch可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词。用作及物动词时,后面跟名词、代词或疑问词从句作宾语,有时也可跟以现在分词、过去分词充当补足语的复合宾语; 用作不及物动词时,主动形式往往含有被动意义。当表示“抓住某人的某部位”时,一般说“catch sb. by the＋部位”,这一结构中the不能换为sb's。catch作“捕获”解时,后面可以接双宾语,但间接宾语一般用介词for引出,而不用to。

catch作“理解”“懂得”“听到”解时,多用于否定句,有时也可以用于疑问句。

catch at的意思是“设法抓住”,并不表明抓住与否。catch on表示“变得流行,抓住,理解”等, catch out表示“发现不在”“抓住短处”, catch up with表示“赶上”“补上”“抓住”“带来不良后果”。

n.(名词)

catch作名词时,基本意思是“抓”“接”,指对抛出、打出的东西抓或抛,尤指接球。引申还可指捕获物或捕获量,指人时往往指那些难以获得的人,也可指锁钩、挂钩、吊扣。

catch还可指“隐患”“圈套”“陷阱”,指意想不到的问题或障碍。

catch是可数名词,其复数形式是catches。

当catch用作表现“得了疾病”的时候，要以人作为“catch”主语。

I have caught a cold.
我感冒了。

catch的常用短语有catch one's eyes（引起某人的注意），catch up（抓起，指出），catch up with（追上，赶上）；

catch sb表示“追赶，捉拿”，但如果是由警方或者侦查人员根据法令捉拿罪犯则用arrest，而不是catch。

Some students cought a thief this morning.
一些学生今天早上抓住了一个小偷.

The popce arrested her as suspect.
警察把他作为嫌疑犯予以逮捕。

v.(动词)他患感冒已经三天了。

误 He has caught a cold for three days.

正 He caught a cold three days ago.

析 catch是非延续性动词,它的现在完成时不能与表示一段时间的状语连用。

他被雨淋着了。

误 He was caught by the rain.

正 He was caught in the rain.

析 表示人遇雨、雷雨、大风等时, catch一般用于被动结构,并用介词in,不用by。

我撞见那小偷在偷我的电视机。

误 I caught the thief to steal my television set.

正 I caught the thief steapng my television set.

析 当表示“碰上”“撞上某人正做某事”时, catch后须跟现在分词作宾语补足语。

我在街上徘徊,突然看见了一家服装店。

误 I was wandering through the streets when I suddenly caught sight of a tailor's shop.

正 I was wandering through the streets when I caught sight of a tailor's shop.

析 caught sight of的意思是“突然看见”,其本身已含有“突然”的意思,不必再用suddenly。
