動詞suggest和Express的用法區別

  動詞suggest除了含有我們經常用到的"建議"的意思之外,還有"暗示、表明"的意思.解釋為暗示的時候,其主語往往是事物,而不是人.

  1***接賓語從句,從句用陳述語氣.如:

  The decision suggested that he might bring his family. 這個決定表明他可以把家屬帶來.

  The expression on his face suggested that he was very angry. 他臉上的表情表明他很生氣.

  2***接名詞或動名詞作賓語.

  Her pale face suggested bad health. 她臉色蒼白,看來身體不好.

  The thought of summer suggests swimming. 一想到夏天就使人們聯想到游泳.

  Express的用法
