v.(动词)

excuse的基本意思是“原谅”“宽恕”,常指原谅一个人的轻微过失或疏忽,主语通常是人。引申可表示“免除”“为…辩解”等。

excuse一般用作及物动词,可接名词、代词或动名词作宾语,但不接动词不定式或从句。

excuse作“原谅”“宽恕”解时,其宾语后常接介词for表示所原谅的事; 作“免除”解时,可接双宾语,也可与介词from搭配使用; 作“为…辩解”解时,常接反身代词表示“为自己辩解”或“说声对不起”。

excuse作“原谅”“免除”解时,可用于被动结构。作“为…辩解”解时不用于被动结构。作“原谅”解以名词或代词作宾语时,可用于被动结构(须以人作主语); 以动名词作宾语时,则不用于被动结构。

Excuse me的意思是“对不起”“请原谅〔宽恕〕”,是口语中常用的客套话,可表示对过失或失礼的歉意,也可作为请求对方允许、问事的礼貌用语,还可用以表示婉言谢绝、客气纠正等,常与连词but或情态动词will, would等连用。在美式英语中,Excuse me还可表示“提请对方重复说过的话”,而英式英语中在这种场合下常用I beg your pardon?或Pardon?来表示。

n.(名词)

excuse用作名词的基本意思是“理由”,常指为自己做了不该做的事或说了不该说的话而寻找“借口”,常译为“托词”。

excuse既可用作可数名词,也可用作不可数名词。常用“for sth/ v -ing”作其后置定语,时有也用动词不定式作其定语。

excuse有时还可作“歉意,道歉”解,一般用复数形式。

v.(动词)原谅我还没给你回信。

误 Excuse me for I have not answered your letter.

正 Excuse me for not answering your letter.

析 excuse宾语后的介词for不能接句子,一般接动名词。

n.(名词)作为失败的借口,她说她一直在生病。

误 As excuse of her failure she said she had been ill.

正 In excuse of her failure she said she had been ill.

析 表示“作为…的借口”,可说in excuse of,不可说as excuse of。
