smell可以用作名词和动词。其搭配、考点值得关注。
1.smell用作名词指“气味;臭味;嗅觉”三个意思。比如:
I love the smell of rain on dry earth—it’s so calming.我喜欢干土淋雨的气味,太让人平静了。The smell of freshly baked bread filled the kitchen, making everyone hungry.新鲜烤面包的气味弥漫了厨房,让所有人都饿了。
2.smell做不及物动词,指“散发气味;有……的气味”两个意思。比如:
The kitchen smells of fresh bread.厨房里散发着新鲜面包的气味。His clothes smell of smoke.他的衣服有烟味。
3.smell做及物动词时,指“嗅,闻到;察觉”两个意思。比如:
She smelled the flowers before deciding to buy them.她闻了闻花,才决定买下它们。Can you smell the delicious aroma from the kitchen?你能闻到厨房里飘来的美味香气吗?
4.要点:
smell用来描述发出气味时,后面应跟形容词。与形容词连用的动词还有feel、taste、sound 等。比如:It smells delicious.它闻起来真香。
smell用来描述感觉时,常用can,而不用进行时。比如: Can you smell burning?你闻到烧焦的味道吗?
但当强调正在“闻”这一动作时可用进行时。Why are you smelling the bottle of milk? Is it sour?你为什么闻那瓶牛奶?酸了吗?
5.动词smell和 of搭配使用,表示发出……气味,尤指散发出不好的气味。比如:
The leftover rice smells of sourness—throw it away immediately.剩饭散发出酸味,赶紧扔掉。The fish in the fridge smells of ammonia—must have gone bad.冰箱里的鱼散发着氨味,肯定坏了。
