二、考点精析与拓展
1. search;search for; look for
(1)search指“搜查某地或搜身”,其宾语可以是房屋、人身、衣袋等名词。如:
They searched their homes without any reason.他们毫无理由地搜查了他们的家。
They searched him but found nothing.他们搜了他的身,但没有找到什么。
(2)search for 则指“搜寻、搜索某人或物”。如:
They searched for him everywhere.他们到处搜寻他。
The police searched the wood for the lost child.警察在树林里寻找走失的孩子。
试比较:They searched his clothes.他们搜查了他的衣服。(看是否藏有东西)
They searched for his clothes.他们在搜寻他的衣服。(要找到衣服)
另外,search也可用做名词,in search of “寻找、寻求”是个常见短语。如:
The boys went in search of something to eat.孩子们去找东西吃。
(3)look for意为“寻找”,同search for意义大体相同。但search for 意味较强,用很大注意力搜寻。而look for则较为通俗,常用于日常用语。如:
I looked for my missing pen everywhere.我到处找我丢失的那支笔。
2. be certain…; be sure
be uncertain about意思是“对……不确定(没把握)”
uncertain的词根是certain,意思是“确信的,有把握的”,常用于以下结构:
(1)be certain(sure) to do sth.“肯定会做……”(表示某事将要发生)。如:
He is certain(sure) to come next Sunday.
(2)be certain(sure) of/ about sth.“确信、有把握”(表示某个人的思想状态)。如:
We are certain/ sure of victory.
(3)名词从句作主语时,一般多用certain.
It is certain that he will come.
