feel 的用法及固定搭配

feel

1.feel可以用作系动词,后面接表语,如feel cold, feel proud和feel sure。也可以用作使役动词,后面接宾语和表语,如He felt himself guilty和She felt it an honour that we should care for her。有时在宾语后面接to be。例如:He felt himself to be guilty. 在用作系动词的时候,feel有时作“使人有某种感觉”解,如The air feels cold和How does it feel to be in love? (恋爱使人有怎样的感觉?)

2.feel的宾语后面的不定式习惯省去to。例如:I felt someone touch me on the shoulder. 把touch改作touching也可以。

3.说到心理上的认识,feel后面通常接以that引导的从句,不接宾语和不定式,如通常说I feel that the picture fully agrees with the original,不说I feel the picture fully agree with the original。但假使那不定式是be,尽可以用这结构,to不可省。例如:I feel the picture to be in full agreement with the original.

4.在用作“触、摸”解的时候,feel在美国往往在后面加上of。例如:I felt of the pocket to see if the handkerchief was there. 在英国没有of。

5.feel for和feel with都作“同情”解。

6.feel like...ing通常作“想要…”解,如I feel like singing和I feel like weeping。有时作“觉得好像…”解。例如:Landing on those shores, one feels like having entered into a great silence. 注意like是形容词,后面省去介词to,不是动词。

7.feel like可以作“觉得好像是…”解,如I feel like a boy on his first day of school。也可以作“想要…”解,如I feel like a walk。下面的对话当然是笑话:

Husband: I feel like a pork pie tonight.

Wife: What a strange thing to say! You don't look like one。

8.I feel difficult是“我感觉我自己被人难于应付”。并不是“我感觉我难于应付某人或某事”。I feel pleasant是“我感觉我自己使人愉快”,并不是“我感觉愉快”。

9.关于feel bad和feel badly,参见bad(ly) 2

10.feel用作名词,并不和feeling完全相同,下面几点该注意:

(1)说“触、摸”该用feel,不可用feeling。例如:

  • Let me have a feel. (让我摸一摸。)
  • It is smooth to the feel. (它摸起来是光滑的。)
  • It has a smooth feel. (它摸起来是光滑的。)

I can tell that it is paper by the feel. (摸了我便知道它是纸。)

(2)说身体上的感觉用feel或feeling都可以,如a feel of cold和a feeling of cold。

(3)说精神上的感觉用feeling比用feel普通,如a feeling of joy比a feel of joy普通。

(4)The factory has a homely feel等句子里的feel作air或atmosphere解,不可改作feeling。

(5)He has a feel(ing) for good poetry等句子里用feel或feeling都可以。
