词语用法
词义讲解
常见错误
词源解说

v.(动词)

fall的基本意思有二:一是向更低的位置纵向移动,意为“降落,落下; 摔下,倒下”“(突然)跌倒”“下降,降低”。二是表示状态的变化,常指陷入不够理想的境地,意为“战斗中受伤倒下,阵亡”“进入…状态”“失去权力,失势,垮台”“被打败,被攻克”“(脸色)突然阴沉下来”。fall引申可表示“降临”“下垂”“往下倾斜”“说出”“堕落,完全为邪念所控制”等。
fall主要用作不及物动词,也可以用作系动词,后接形容词(不接比较级)作表语表示“进入某种状态”,有时后面也可接名词,意思是“变成,成为”。
fall偶尔也用作及物动词,仅用于美式英语和英国方言中,意思是“击倒,砍倒(树木)”。
fall to意为“开始”时, to是介词,后面只能接名词或动名词。
fall的现在分词falling和过去分词fallen可用作形容词,在句中作定语。

n.(名词)

fall用作名词的基本意思是“跌落,跌倒”,也可指“降落物,降落量”,引申可表示数量、价格、需要、程度等的“下降、降低或减少”,是可数名词。
fall也可表示“掉落的距离,落差”,是单数名词,后常接介词of。
fall还有“陷落; 垮台; 灭亡; 没落”的意思,是单数名词,并常与定冠词the连用,可引申作“堕落,沦落”解,是单数名词,有时首字母大写。
fall还可作“瀑布”解,常用复数,谓语动词用单复数形式均可。
fall在美式英语中还可作“秋天”解。

v.(动词)

fall asleep, be asleep: be asleep指睡着的状态,可以接表示延续性时间的状语; 而fall asleep指的是一时的动作。试比较下面两句：
He has been asleep for three hours.
他睡了三个小时。
One after another, all of them fell asleep.
那些人一个接一个地睡着了。

n.(名词)

fall, descend, drop, sink: 这四个词都可表示物体向下降落。它们之间的区别是:
1.sink指在空气或水中垂直下降、下沉; descend则通常指沿斜线或斜坡下降; 而drop与fall均可指急速地向下坠落,可直可斜。例如:
The walk descends sharply.小路下倾得很厉害。
The ship struck against the rocks and sank.那船触礁沉没了。
We saw an apple falling〔dropping〕 down from the tree yesterday.昨天我们看见一个苹果从树上掉下来。
2.drop指物体由于重力从高处往下落; fall指物体由于不明原因或物体本身失去平衡而向下降落,有自然下落的意思。例如:
She dropped the cup.她把杯子弄掉了。
Leaves fall in autumn.秋天树叶下落。
3.drop通常是有意识、有目的地下落; 而fall则往往是无意识地下落。例如:
The enemy planes dropped bombs.敌机投下了炸弹。
Rain is falling fast.雨下得很大。
4.drop引申可表示物价的降落; sink还可指精力或意识逐渐丧失。例如:
The price of oil has dropped sharply.石油价格暴跌。
His heart sank.他感到沮丧。
5.drop一般用作及物动词,偶尔也用作不及物动词; fall则通常用作不及物动词。

v.(动词)

误 He lost his balance and falled to the ground.

正 He lost his balance and fell to the ground.

析 fall的过去式、过去分词分别是fell, fallen,而不是falled。

误 She fell unconsciously on the floor.

正 She fell unconscious on the floor.

析 fall作“变为…”“进入…状态”解时为系动词,后面通常跟形容词作表语,行为方式副词不可与系动词连用。

误 How long have you fallen ill?

正 How long have you been ill?

析 fall是瞬间动词,不能与表示一段时间的状语连用。本句可改用表示延续性的动词be,也可改为it is...since...句型。

误 The setting sun was falling into the great river.

正 The setting sun was sinking into the great river.

析 fall into的意思是“落入”“掉进”,指突然或瞬间的动作,不用于进行时态。

误 You'll fall down on the stairs if you're not careful!

正 You'll fall down the stairs if you're not careful!

析 fall down the stairs就是“跌下楼梯”的意思, down是介词,其后不用on。

误 The baby fell off from its high-chair.

正 The baby fell from its high-chair.

正 The baby fell off its high-chair.

析表示“从…跌落”时可以用fall from或fall off,在这里不能将from和off并列使用。

误 Suddenly the soldier fell with his knees to surrender.

正 Suddenly the soldier fell on his knees to surrender.

析 “跪下”可译为fall on one's knees; “侧身倒下”可译为fall down on one's side。

n.(名词)

误 Leaves turn yellow in fall.

正 Leaves turn yellow in the fall.

析 fall作“秋天”解时其前一般要加定冠词the。

☆ 直接源自古英语的feallan；最初源自古日耳曼语的fallanan，意为从高处跳下来。
