take.spend.cost的用法与区别

take的用法为It takes sb sometime to do sth
spend的用法为sb spend sometime in doing on sth
以上两种肯定,而下边的是不是?
cost的用法是否为sth cost sometime for sb?

请清楚地写出take.spend.cost的用法与区别

虽然三者均可表示“花费”,但所用主语不同:cost 的主语通常是事或物(包括形式主语 it),不能是人;spend 的主语只能是人,不能是事或物;take 的主语可以是事或物(包括形式主语 it),也可以是人。如:

The computer cost (me) $2000. 这台电脑花了(我) 2000 美元。

It costs $1000 a year to run a car. 使用一辆车每年要花1000美元。

I have spent all day looking for you. 我花了一整天找你。

It took me an hour to write the letter. 我写这封信花了一个小时。

The letter took me an hour (to write). (译文同上)

I took an hour to write the letter. (译文同上)

注:若 cost 不是表示“花费”,而是表示客观上地或被动地“耗费”,则也可用人作主语。如:

Smokers cost the government a lot of money every year. 抽烟的人每年要耗费政府不少钱。

二、根据宾语辨析

cost 的宾语通常是钱,take 的宾语通常是时间,而 spend 的宾语则可以是时间或钱。如:

How much did it cost to build the bridge? 建这座桥花了多少钱?

It took her two hours to walk to the station. 走路去车站花了她两小时。

He spends much time (money) on books. 他花了很多时间读(钱买)书。

注:cost 有时也用于时间,但通常只用于笼统时间(一般不用于具体明确的时间)。如:

Making experiments like this costs much time and labour. 做这样的实验要花很多时间和劳力。

按传统语法,take 的宾语通常是时间,但在现代英语中,用钱作其宾语的现象已很普遍。如:

It takes a lot of money to buy a house. 买一座房子要花一大笔钱。

三、根据句型辨析

从句型结构来看。三者的通常句型为:

sth costs (sb) money 某物花某人多少钱

it costs (sb) money to do sth 做某事花某人多少钱

sb spends time (money) on sth 某人在某一方面花多少钱

sb spends time (money) in [on] doing sth 某人在做某事方面花多少钱

it takes sb time (money) to do sth = it takes time (money) for sb to do sth 做某事花某人多少时间或钱

sth takes sb time (money) to do 某事花某人多少时间或钱去做

sb takes time (money) to do 某人花多少时间或钱去做某事

四、根据语态辨析

三者在表示“花费”时,cost 不能用于被动语态,take 通常不用于被动语态,而 spend 则可以用于被动语态。如:

误:Thirty dollars was cost by the coat.

误:Two hours was taken to do the work.

正:Two hours was spent on the work. 做这工作花了两个小时。

五、根据引申义辨析

三者均可用于比喻用法中,但含义不同:

1. cost 指付出代价(劳力、麻烦、精力、生命等)。如:

Careless driving will cost you your life. 粗心开车会要你的命。

Just ring him up. It’ll cost you nothing. 给他打个电话,这不费什么事。

2. spend 表示“消耗”“用完”。如:

I’ll spend no more breath on him. 我不会再和他费唇舌。

He spent great efforts to help me. 他费了很大的劲儿来帮我。

3. take 表示需要人力(精力、劳力等)。如:

It takes patience. 做这工作需要耐心。

It takes two to make a quarrel. 一个巴掌拍不响。

It took three men to lift the box. 抬这个箱子要 3 个人。

spend和pay是用于人称作主语的句式,如:He spends 2 hours on/(in)doing sports. He pays for the books. take是用于It作主语的句式,如: It takes me 1 hour to do sports. cost是用于物品作主语的句式,如: The toy costs me 10 yuan.
注意: pay 短语固定搭配 pay for

take spend cost pay的用法都可以表示“花费”,但用法却不尽相同。

spend的主语必须是人, 常用于以下结构:
(1) spend time /money on sth. 在……上花费时间(金钱)。例:I spent two hours on this maths problem. 这道数学题花了我两个小时。
(2) spend time / money (in) doing sth. 花费时间(金钱)做某事。例:They spent two years (in) building this bridge. 造这座桥花了他们两年时间。
(3)spend money for sth. 花钱买……。例:His money was spent for books. 他的钱用来买书了。

cost的主语是物或某种活动, 还可以表示“值”, 常见用法如下:
(1)sth. costs (sb.) +金钱,某物花了(某人)多少钱。例:A new computer costs a lot of money. 买一台新电脑要花一大笔钱。
(2) (doing) sth. costs (sb.) +时间,某物(做某事)花了(某人)多少时间。例:Remembering these new words cost him a lot of time. 他花了大量时间才记住了这些单词。

注意:cost的过去式及过去分词都是cost,并且不能用于被动句。

take后面常跟双宾语, 常见用法有以下几种:
(1) It takes sb. +时间+to do sth. 做某事花了某人多少时间。例:It took them three years to build this road. 他们用了三年时间修完了这条路。
(2)doing sth. takes sb. +时间,做某事花了某人多少时间。例:Repairing this car took him the whole afternoon. 他花了一下午修车。

pay的基本用法是:
(1) pay (sb.) money for sth. 付钱(给某人)买……。例:I have to pay them 20 pounds for this room each month. 我每个月要付20英磅的房租。
(2)pay for sth. 付……的钱。例:I have to pay for the book lost. 我不得不赔丢失的书款。
