28) have (作及物動詞)
之特別用法與意義:
1. 中文表達『根據』或『依照』常用:
A 事+ be based on (upon) + B事,或 “ according to…”之用法。英文
可用:事+ has it that + 子句:
(Rumor, Legend, Story) has it that he died of a heart
attack.
= According to the rumor (legend;
story), he died of a heart attack.
據 (謠傳; 傳說; 故事) 他死於心臟病發作。
比較:
*Obama’s s rumors just won’t die有關奧巴馬的謠言永不休止。
2. have之其他意義:
We had a good time at the birthday party. 在生日晚會中我們玩得盡興。(=
enjoy oneself 玩得開心)** 比較:make good
time 開快車。keep good time (鐘錶)走得準確。
3. have可作「遭遇」解:
*Tom has a hard time with the math problem. Tom解答不出這個數學題目。
*He has a hard time pronouncing the actor’s last time.他唸不出這位演員的姓。(a hard time= difficulty =problem)。
* give someone a hard time 指「給人難堪,不好受」,如台語的「虧」。(「虧」在台語中亦可譯為tease或ridicule或 embarrass;60年代學生用俚語「七仔虧」可譯為“chick-teaser”- person who teases
girls。若挑剔別人find fault with= criticize亦可說「虧」)。
4. have a cold (flu):指有了「感冒」的狀態:比較catch cold感冒:得了「感冒」的動作。(*以上兩片語意義略有差別)。
5. have one’s own way 一意孤行 (= do
what likes to do) *
比較:
*work one’s way through college半工半讀唸完大學/
