reach可用作名词和动词，也有相关搭配值得关注。

1.reach可以是及物动词和不及物动词。作及物动词时，可以指“抵达，到达；伸出，够到”两个意思。比如：

He did not stop until he reached the door.他到门口才停住。They didn't reach the border until after dark.他们天黑以后才到达边境。We reach Delhi at 2 o'clock local time.我们在当地时间2时到达德里。Can you reach me down that box?你帮我把那个盒子拿下来好吗？I can't reach the top shelf.我够不着最上面的架子。

reach作不及物动词时，表示“达到，延伸；伸出手”两个意思。比如：

She reached inside her bag for a pen.她把手伸到包里掏钢笔。Judy reached into her handbag and handed me a small, printed leaflet.朱迪把手伸进手提袋中，递给我一张小小的印刷传单。He wore a nightshirt that reached to his knees.他穿了一件长及他膝盖的男用睡衣。

3.reach作名词，指“能达到（的范围）” 。比如：The shot was well beyond the reach of the goalkeeper.这次射门使守门员鞭长莫及。Cleaning fluids should be kept out of the reach of children.洗涤剂应该放在儿童够不到的地方。He lashed out angrily, hitting anyone within his reach .他气急败坏，见人就打。

4.要点

reach作名词时，习语 out of one's reach，within one’s reach分别指“手不能及，力所不能及”和“手能及，力所能及”。比如：

The house is within easy reach of schools and sports facilities.这房子距离学校和体育设施都很。Isabelle placed a wine cup on the table within his reach.伊莎贝尔把一只酒杯放在桌上他伸手可及的地方。Victory is now out of her reach .胜利现在对于她来说已遥不可及。
