v.(动词)

find的基本意思是“发现,找到”,作“发现”解时指发现已存在而以前不知道的事物,作“找到”解时指找到了所寻找的东西,知道了其下落,强调寻找的结果。引申可作“查明”“偶然遇见”“供给”“到达”“努力获得”“知道…是有的”等解。用于法律术语还可表示“裁决”。

find主要用作及物动词,可接名词、代词、带疑问词的动词不定式或从句作宾语,也可接双宾语,其间接宾语可以转换为介词for的宾语,可用于被动结构。

find还可接以动词不定式或“(to be+) adj./v -ed/ v -ing/ prep. -phrase”充当补足语的复合宾语。接现在分词时表示动作正在进行; 接过去分词表示动作已经完成; 接动词不定式则表示看到动作的全部过程,不定式符号to可有可无,但如果不定式是to be, to则不可省略,但可省略to be。

find如接以动词不定式、动名词作宾语或以形容词、介词短语充当宾语补足语的复合结构时,一般须采用形式宾语结构。

find后接that从句,可表示发现一个事实、道理; 后接out,可表示故意去找而找到某件难于找到的东西或经过打听、询问之后搞清楚某事,强调付出了一定的努力。

find是瞬间动词,不可用于进行体,也不能与表示一段时间的状语连用。

n.(名词)

find用作名词意思是“发现”,指抽象的行为,是不可数名词,也可作“发现物”解,尤指有价值的东西,是可数名词。

find还可表示“被发现有惊人能力的人”,是可数名词。

v.(动词)在你来以前,我一直在找词典。

误 I had been finding a dictionary before you came.

正 I had been looking for a dictionary before you came.

正 I had been trying to find a dictionary before you came.

析 find表示找寻的结果,即“发现”或“找到”,是终止性动词,不能用于进行体。look for〔try to find〕表示“寻找但还未找到”,可以用于进行体。

观察了一星期之后,山姆弄明白了为什么这个衬衫厂如此低效。

误 After making observations for a week,Sam found why the shirt factory was so inefficient.

正 After making observations for a week,Sam found out why the shirt factory was so inefficient.

析 表示经探索或观察而发现,特别是发现无形的、隐藏的事情,常用find out加关系代词what, who, where等引导的从句。

杰克觉得很难向别人解释自己的看法。

误 Jack found very difficult to explain his views to others.

正 Jack found it very difficult to explain his views to others.

析 find后接动词不定式作宾语时应使用形式宾语结构。

误 She found no one answer the question.

正 She found no one could answer the question.
