discourage 的用法及固定搭配

discourage

1.discourage(劝阻)的宾语后面接from和动名词,不接不定式,如His advice discouraged her from trying again里的from trying不可改用to try。把from改作against也可以,但不及用from普通。

2.discourage是“阻止成功”,“阻止”而不成功便不是discourage,如不可说His advice discouraged her from trying again, but she made two attempts more,该把discouraged改作was meant to discourage。
