breath,breathe
这两个词都是表示呼吸的意思,但词性和读音不同。 breath/breI是名词; breathe/briJ/是动词。初学英语的人容易将breathe的e丢掉,以致与breath混淆不清。
请看下面例句:
After we had climbed to the top of the hill,we stopped to gather breath.
我们爬到山顶后便停下来歇口气。
Only in the countryside can we have a breath of fresh air.
只有在郊野我们才能呼吸到新鲜的空气。
He has run himself out of breath.
他跑得上气不接下气。
The old lady breathed her last this morning.
老太太今天早上断气了。
In an attack of asthma,she breathed hard.
哮喘发作,她感到呼吸困难。
Its healthy to breathe deeply in the morning
早上作深呼吸对身体有益。
请注意,在下列例句内,breathe和 take a breath不能互换使用,因为它们表达的涵义有所不同:
We breathe in order to live.
为了生存,我们要呼吸。
We paused to take a breath
我们停下来喘了一口气。
