词语用法
词义讲解
v.(动词)
- shorten的基本意思是“(使)变短”,指缩减其长度或持续时间,有时不是实际地缩短,而只是表面感觉上的缩短。
- shorten可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时接名词或代词作宾语。
v.(动词)
- shorten, abbreviate, abridge, condense, contract
-
- 这组词用于字词、段落、章节等时,都含有“删减”或“精简”的意思。它们的区别在于:
- 1.abridge, condense和shorten都可指压缩文章、著作的篇幅而内容不变, abridge比shorten更文雅; abbreviate主要用于删除音节、字母或单词而保留词头; contract通常指省略单词的中间部分,不包括只保留词头的词。
- 2.表示“缩略成…”时, abbreviate, condense, contract和shorten常与介词to搭配; condense也常与介词into搭配。
