wear 的用法及固定搭配

wear

1.wear是持续的动作,put on是一时的动作,如假定你在5点钟穿上一件衣服,在8点钟脱下,那末你在5点钟put on,从5点到8点一直wear着,下面两句都不对:

  • I shall wear my overcoat before I go out. (该把wear改作put on。原句的意思是“我将在出去以前一直穿着大衣。”就是说“我一出去便脱去大衣。”)
  • In such cold weather I put on my overcoat all day. (该把put on改作wear。)

2.wear...to...作“穿了…到…去”解。例如:I used to wear a jacket to meetings.

3.wear and tear(消耗、损坏)比tear and wear普通得多,tear and wear似乎只用在苏格兰。

4.He wore a black coat可能指习惯,也可能指某一时刻,He was wearing a black coat指某一时刻。

5.a cloth that will wear是“一种耐穿的布”,a cloth that will not wear是“一种穿不破的布”,实际上两种表达方式的意思相同。
