v.(动词)

dare用作实义动词时,有时态和人称的变化,用do, does或did来构成否定句或疑问句。

dare作“敢”解时,指“勇敢”,含有大胆、鲁莽、爱冒险,或因爱慕虚荣而甘冒生命或受惩罚的危险的意味,后面通常接动词不定式,有时可省略不定式符号to。一般不用于进行体。

dare还有“激某人做难办的事”的意思,即问某人敢不敢(或能不能)做某事,暗示他不敢(或不能),其后接以动词不定式充当补足语的复合宾语,不定式中的to一般不省略。

dare还可作“冒险,面对危难而不畏惧”解,直接接宾语,这是不常见的用法。

dare的过去式是dared,但多用于正式语体,口语中少见。

aux.(助动词)

dare用作情态动词,一般用于疑问句、否定句或条件句,或与hardly, never, no one, nobody等连用。有时态变化,但没有人称形式的变化,其后接动词原形。构成疑问句和否定句时不用助动词do。

dare的否定式有时可用来指过去的事情。

n.(名词)

表示“在激将法的鼓动下”用for a dare是英式英语用法，用on a dare是美式英语用法。
