blessed 的用法及固定搭配

blessed

bless的过去式通常是blessed,很少用blest。过去分词两种形式都用,但在主动语态里通常用blessed,如Nature has blessed him with good health和He is blessed(或blest)with good health。定语形容词通常是blessed,如blessed ignorance和What a blessed thing it is to live and study with you!表语形容词通常是blest。例如:I am indeed blest in having you as my constant companion.

注意He is blessed with good health里blessed跟What a blessed thing it is to live and study with you!里的blessed意思不同。第二句里的blessed作“带幸福来的”解,却不可改作blessing,实际也是“被赐给幸福的”,既然被赐给幸福,就有幸福带给人了。
