英语名词的动词功能

英语中很多名词都具有动词功能,即名词有动词的含义,例如:to have a smode-tosmoke;to pay a visit to China=to viait China;to have a look =to look;to take up arms=to arm oneself;to put an end to something=to end something等等.这些例子里的名词本身都有动词含义,都可以舍去与之搭配的动词而独立作动词用。有时之所以用其名词形式而不用动词形式,多是为了语言关系或句子平衡,因为动词太多会使句子显得太“冲”而不那么文雅,犹如人之缺乏端庄稳重,所以句子规格愈高,名词愈多,动词相对愈少。但有时要达到形象生动,言简意赅的效果,用其动词形式更好。有些同志教授英语时把名词和动词截然分开,忽视它们的双重性,这主要是受了我们母语—汉语影响。因为在汉语中,名词一般只表示人或事物的名称,属性。而在英语中,名词不但可以用作动词而且往往使句子变得更生动,
