actaction,的区别
act用作名词,很易与另一名词action混淆不清。
需要注意的是它们之间有如下 的区别:(一)一般说来,act指个别具体的行动;action 指抽象的行为。(二)act大都指短暂的、简单的动作;action 指较长的、复杂的行为。例如我们应该说the action of a machine,而不说the act of a machine。(三)在下列场合,只能用act,不能用action;the act of cruelty,folly,mercy,God(天灾),jumping,stealing,walking,kindness,madness...。(四)在下列场合,只能用action,不能用act:to take action,in speech and action,a man of action, put into action, ready for action, to come (bring) into action...。在某些习语和表示“作用” 的涵义时,也只能用action,不用act。例:Actions speak louder than words;Chemical action(化学 作用);capillary action(毛细管作用);the action of light (heat)(光/热的作用)……。下面例句说明act和action的分野:The pickpocket was caught in the act. 扒手在行窃是被抓住了。Trying to cover up the mistake is an act of folly. 试图隐藏错误是一件愚蠢的事。In the act of picking up the ball, he slipped and fell. 他在拾球的时候滑倒了。Don't take any action. 不要采用任何行动。He is a man of action. 他是一个很活跃的人。The government must take action to prevent unemployment from deteriorating.政府必须采用行动防止失业情况恶化。有时候act和action之间的界限并不是很清楚的,例如在下列句中,它们可互换使用:It was an act (or action) that they were to regret bitterly.Her heroic act (or action) will be long remembered.You will be judged by your acts (or actions).最后还需补充一点,在指某个行为或行动的特征时,应用act,不用action。例如:an act of thoughtfulness; the act of a fool,但是,在该行为或动作之前如有形容词修饰时,则改用action,不 用act。例如我们说:the act of a careless person; I don't like his careless action.
