design的正误用法

 

这些座建筑物设计很差。

误:These buildings are of poor designs.

正:These buildings are of poor design.

析:名词 design 表示具体意义的结果(如:图案,设计图等),是可数名词,表示抽象意义的设计,则为不可数名词

他想打这个姑娘的主意。

误:He has design on the girl.

正:He has designs on the girl.

析:design 表示企图图谋,总是用复数形式,尤其用于 have designs on [against](企图伤害……,企图把……据为己有)。又如:He has designs on [against] your life.(他图谋要害你的命)

我们不知道那是偶然做的还是故意做的。

误:We don’t know if it was done by accident or on design.

正:We don’t know if it was done by accident or by design.

析:by design(故意地)是习语,要用介词by。不要受 on purpose (故意地)的影响,而误用介词 on design。比较:by chance(无意地)by accident(无意地)等都用 by

这本词典是供外国学生用的。

误:The dictionary is designing for foreign students.

正:The dictionary is designed for foreign students.

析:design用作动词除表示设计外,还可表示计划等,如:His father designed him for a lawyer.(他父亲打算要他当律师)。不过此用法更多是用于被动形式,即用于be designed for sb (sth)be designed to do sthbe designed as sth 等。如:The weekend party was designed to bring the two old men together.(这次周末聚会的用意是要使两位老人见面)The room was designed as thechildren’splayroom.(这间房间计划用作儿童游戏室)
