v.(动词)
  • modify的基本意思是“改变,修改,调整”,强调在一定限度或范围内部分地改变,多用于观点、方法、制度、组织、计划等。
  • modify引申可表示“修饰”“限定”,尤指形容词或副词修饰另一词或限定另一词的意义。
v.(动词)
modify, alter, become, change, convert, turn, vary
  • 这组词的共同意思是“改变”“变化”。change和alter有时可以互换。例如:
  • Whatever we do, we can't change〔alter〕 the facts.不管我们做什么,我们总不能改变事实。
  • He has changed〔altered〕 a lot since I last saw him.自从上次见面到现在,他变了很多。
  • The weather changes〔alters〕 almost daily.天气差不多天天在变。
  • 其区别是:
  • 1.change在这几个词中是最普遍、最不正式的一个,可用于任何变化的过程,而不论变化的性质和程度; alter指局部的、表面的、轻微的“改变”“改动”,修改后仍基本上保持原状; alter和convert都指形式和用途上的局部微小改变; turn指彻底改变,以至面目全非,且常用于朝坏的方向改变; modify指限定在一定范围内的修改或修饰,以使之更完美; vary则指事物或其一部分暂时地或反复地变化,从而使事物各部分呈现不同外貌和特点。例如:
  • When matter changes to a substance different from what it was, the change is a chemical change.当物质变成和原来不同的物质时,这种变化是化学变化。

  • After he left the university, he became a teacher, but he later turned to translation.他大学毕业后当了教师,但后来转向翻译工作。

  • You'd better modify your tone.你最好缓和一下你的口气。
  • He will have to modify his views if he wants to be elected.他如果想当选,就得把观点变得明朗些。
