不及物動詞動詞名詞

Stay單字概述與用法:

stay有兩個詞性:當不及物動詞時,語意為留下、停留、待在,表示一個人或物停留在某個地方。stay常用做連綴動詞,後面接形容詞,表示主詞的狀態。stay還有許多的片語動詞,像是stay up / stay out of / stay in等; 當名詞時,為可數,意思是某人在某處的停留時間。stay的三態為:stay / stayed / stayed。

  • 不及物動詞:留下、停留、、待在
  • 連綴動詞:保持
  • 名詞:停留或逗留(時間)

易混淆單字:stay跟live的中文語意都可以翻譯成住,但兩者的意思有些許差異

  1. stay意指一個較短暫或暫時的停留,有時暗示著主詞另有長期的居住地,或主詞只是借住在這個地方,例如:I’m staying at a hotel. 我住在旅館裡。
  2. live則表示一種更持久或長期的居留。例如:I live in New York. 我住在紐約
