每日一词 74 | occasional/occasionally

1. 这是个什么词？

词：occasional

英英释义：happening sometimes but not often or regularly

例句：Although I am well traveled, I have mostly visited different parts of my own country and have made only occasional overseas trips.

2. 为什么选这个词？

名词“occasion”有很多个意思，比如“场合” “时机” “特别时刻”等。它的形容词“occasional”意思比较单一，是“偶尔的”，常用、好用，值得掌握。它的副词“occasionally”（“偶尔地”）也可以顺便收入囊中。当我们想表达某个现象偶然才出现或某个事件偶然才发生时，除了使用 sometimes, from time to time, every now and then 之外，还可以使用 “occasional”和“occasionally”，尤其是在书面表达中。

看几个例子。 华裔美国德州扑克高手 Johnny Chan 胜率极高，偶尔才会输给对手，就可以说：

Johnny Chan is a formidable poker player and only loses very occasionally.

再比如，笔者去过不少地方，但很多都是国内的各个省份，时不时才去国外旅行一次，就可以说：

Although I am well traveled, I have mostly visited different parts of my own country. I have traveled abroad only occasionally.

或

Although I am well traveled, I have mostly visited different parts of my own country and have made only occasional overseas trips.

《经济学人》在一篇写纽约的 Christmas special 文章中有这么一句：

An occasional plane passes overhead, perhaps to La Guardia, perhaps to JFK.（La Guardia 和 JFK 是纽约市的两大机场。）

《经济学人》有一篇讣告写的是一个暴徒，里面有这么一句：

He occasionally regretted the shame he had brought on his family, but for his victims and their relatives he felt nothing.

3. 怎样学会使用这个词？

1）翻译下面的句子：

露西擅长山水画，偶尔也画画油画。

（参考翻译：Lucy is especially good at traditional Chinese landscape painting, but occasionally she does oils too. 或 Though an expert on traditional Chinese landscape painting, Lucy does occasional oil painting too. ）

造句:

*My daughter reads early every day, and occasionally gets up late.

*Though a lover of yellow wine ,my father occasionally drinks white wine.

occasionally的名词和形容词是什么

意思：adv.偶尔地。

读音：英 [ə'keɪʒnəli]，美 [ə'keɪʒnəli]。 

词根：occasion。

读音：英 [ə'keɪʒn]，美 [ə'keɪʒn] 。

纯洁党的干部队伍是当务之急。 （“纯洁”原为形容词，在此加上宾语“党”作动词）。

这项举措极大地方便了群众生活。 （“方便”原为形容词，在此加上宾语“群众生活”做动词）。

有些单音节形容词加上“坏”、“死”后，后面可以加上宾语，一般限于口语使用中，但不应算作形容词带宾语，而是述补短语带宾语。因此，这类词也不是兼类词。

作定语：大树 红太阳 年轻侍者 皎洁的月光 丰满的脸蛋 粗壮的腰。

作谓语：品行端正 论述简洁 描写生动 语言含蓄 态度委婉 观点陈旧。

形容词一般不能带宾语，但有些性质形容词也表示动态，具备动词的某些特性，可以带宾语。带上宾语以后，就成了“动词”。这类能够带宾语的形容词属于兼有形容词和动词功能的兼类词。

occasion的形容词是什么?

occasion的形容词是：occasional。

occasional　

英 [ə'keɪʒənl] 　 　 美 [ə'keɪʒənl] 　 　

adj. 偶然的；临时的；不时的。

He's someone I have an occasional chat and joke with.

辨析：

occasional，uncommon，scare，rare

这些形容词均含“稀罕的、很少发生”之意。

occasional指偶然、不时或间或发生的事，侧重无规律可循。

uncommon指一般不发生或很少发生的事情，故显得独特、异常与例外。

scare指暂时不易发现、不存在或数量不足，供不应求的东西。

rare指难得发生的事或难遇见的人或事，侧重特殊性。
