🎯 考研助记
com(来come)+promise(许诺):通常女孩都要男孩来承诺,男孩只能 妥协 共同(com)许诺(promise)才能 妥协{你给我一个许诺,我给你一个许诺就妥协了} 网友:yqy 补充:com共同,promise承诺:即来妥协的 网友:yqy补充: 【同】consist,make up,compose,constitute,form,comprise 【辨析】: consist,consist of为其固定搭配,其主语常为表示整体意义的名词,意为“(整体)由(部分)组成”。不能用于被动语态,也不可用进行时态。 make up,动词词组,可用于主动和被动两种语态。在主动语态中,主语应为表示局部意义的名词,表达“(部分)构成(整体)”的意思。在被动语态中,主语为表示整体意义的名词,必须用被动结构be made up of,相当于consist of的含义。 compose,及物动词,意为“构成;组成”,常用其被动形式be composed of。与consist, make up 不同,此处构成“整体”的“部分”主要指抽象的“成分;元素”,或者是物质的“化学成分”。 constitute,及物动词,其用法和意义与compose相似,但比较正式。 form,及物动词,意为“构成;组织;建立”,指形成一个组织、委员会、公司等并使其发挥作用。此外,它还有“(自然)形成……”的意思。
