n.(名词)

rest的基本意思是“休息”,即劳作过后的放松过程。可指睁着眼睛休息,也可指闭着眼睛休息,即睡眼,一般用作不可数名词,但其前可有不定冠词a修饰,表示“休息一会儿”或“…样的休息”。rest用作比喻可指使事物处于静止状态,是不可数名词。

rest引申可作“支持物”解,支撑架、支座等,尤指直立物的支持物,是可数名词。

the rest作“其余的”“剩余的”解时,在句中作主语代替可数名词时,谓语动词用复数形式; 代替不可数名词时,谓语动词用单数形式。

rest不能用作定语修饰其他名词,若表示“余下的…东西”,须用the rest of结构。

v.(动词)

rest用作动词的基本意思是“使休息”,指使某人或某物停止活动或停止说话,让其处于静止的状态以恢复体力或振奋精神,引申可表示“使轻松”“使安静”。rest还可作“(使)倚靠〔支撑〕”解。

rest可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时,其后多接反身代词或表示动物及人体某一部位的名词作宾语。

rest还可作系动词,意思是“仍是”,接名词或形容词作表语。

n.(名词)学校明天停课。

误 The school will be rest tomorrow.

正 There will be no lessons tomorrow.

析 表示“停课”不能用rest。

只有两个学生留在教室里,其余的都去图书馆了。

误 Only two students remain in the classroom, and the rest has gone to the pbrary.

正 and the rest have gone to the pbrary.

析 the rest表示“其余的”,当它用作主语时,其谓语动词用单数还是用复数,要根据the rest所指的内容来定。句中的the rest等于the rest of the students,其中students是复数,因此谓语动词要用复数形式。

v.(动词)错误仍然没有改正。

误 The mistake still rests uncorrected.

正 The mistake rests uncorrected.

析 rest作为系动词,本身就含有“依旧”的意思,因此,加用像still这样的副词是多余的。

We'll eat some of the bread and keep the rest for breakfast.我们将吃一点面包，剩下的留到早饭时吃。
