appropriated
基本解釋
- adj.適儅的;相稱的
- vt.佔(zhàn)用;撥出(款項(xiàng))
詞源解說
- 1520年左右進(jìn)入英語,直接源自後期拉丁語的adpropriare:ad (去) + propriare (成爲(wèi)自有),意爲(wèi)將財(cái)産等佔(zhàn)爲(wèi)己有。
用法辨析
- appropriate所表示的“恰儅”指的是“非常匹配”,以至於看起來明顯屬於該人〔事物〕,而且這種適宜性常給該人〔物〕以一種優(yōu)雅與魅力。
- appropriate後可接介詞for或to,表示“…是恰儅的”; appropriate還可用於虛擬語氣中。
- appropriate作動(dòng)詞意思是“挪用; 佔(zhàn)用”土地、房屋、家具、款項(xiàng)等,尤指未經(jīng)批準(zhǔn)或非法挪用。
- appropriate也可作“撥出”解,常指爲(wèi)某種用途撥出款項(xiàng),後接介詞to表示“撥給…使用”,後接介詞for表示“撥作…之用”。
adj. (形容詞)
