詞根記憶
- occ(看作occur,發(fā)生,出現(xiàn)) + asion→發(fā)生的時(shí)機(jī)→時(shí)機(jī)
- oc(近,往) + cas(掉落) + ion→掉落到某物上→發(fā)生的時(shí)機(jī)→時(shí)機(jī)
用法辨析
- 當(dāng)occasion要表達(dá)“在……情況,場合下”的意思時(shí),前面應(yīng)與英語介詞on搭配。I met strangers on that occasion. 在那次我遇見了一些陌生人。
- on occasion還有“偶爾地”的意思。I call on him on occasion. 我偶爾去拜訪他。
- have occasion to…表示“有……的必要”,have no/little occasion to表示“沒有……的必要”。此時(shí)occasion前面不能用冠詞an或the。I have no occasion to see him these days. 我最近沒必要見他。
- occasion指“機(jī)會(huì)”時(shí),有“take occasion to…”的用法,表達(dá)“趁著機(jī)會(huì)做…”的意思。其反義詞則是“not take occasion to…”,表示“不趁著……”。這里occasion前不能用冠詞an或the;
- 當(dāng)occasion用作動(dòng)詞表示“引起”,“致使”時(shí),可用雙賓語結(jié)構(gòu)。His long silence occasions me great anxiety. 他漫長的沉默讓我焦慮不已。
