一、 sense作名词的用法 1. sense作"意义"、"意思"解释,与meaning是同义,是可数名词。如: The word "make" has many senses. In what sense are you using the word? 2. 作"官能"解时,是可数名词。如: The five senses are hearing, taste, sight, smell and touch. A dog has a keen sense of smell. 3. 作"感觉"解时,多用作单数,并与a 连用。如: When you touch ice, you have a sense of coldness. He suddenly had a sense that someone was standing behind him. 4. 作"判断力"、"见识"、"道理"解时,常用作不可数名词。如: Although she's not very clever, she has got lots of common sense. Mother has good sense. Now you are talking sense. 5. 作"知觉"、"理性"解时,常用复数。如: They threw cold water on him to bring him to his senses. We hope he'll come to his senses and correct his mistakes. 6. 可用sense来表示某种"感",如幽默感、正义感、责任感等,这时在sense前加不定冠词。如: a sense of justice正义感; a sense of duty 责任感;a sense of humour幽默感; a sense of beauty 美感;a sense of safety 安全感; a sense of friendship 友好感 7、构成一些固定短语: ① make sense 有道理、讲得通 We all agreed that the plan made sense. No matter how you read it, the sentence doesn't make sense. Does it make sense to let children watch such TV plays? ② make sense of 理解、弄懂……的意思 Can you make sense of her letter? The code could not be made sense of by our experts. ③ lose one's senses = be out of one's senses He must be out of his senses to act in that way. It almost frightened me out of my senses. ④ in a sense 在某种意义上,相当于in a way What you said is true in a sense. 而in no sense则是"决不"的意思,置于句首时要倒装。如: The election was in no sense fair. In no sense should such a thing be allowed to happen in our school. 二、 sense作动词的用法 sense是及物动词,作"感觉到"、"领悟"、"发觉"解。如: The mouse sensed danger and slipped quietly. She sensed what her mother was thinking.
