那么,在既可以充当系动词,也可以充当实意动词的动词后,该接何种词性的词呢?这是很多中等成绩考生的困惑之处。
我们知道,表示状态时,系动词后一般是接形容词而非副词充当其表语。遇到这种情况,只能先根据其句意判断清楚到底该动词在此是系动词还是实意动词,然后再对后面所接的单词的词性和词义作出正确的判断。如:
The newly-invented drink tastes quite unique. 这种新研制的饮料尝起来挺奇特的。
The guests tasted the dishes enjoyably. 客人们饶毅趣味地品尝了菜肴。
在第一句中,taste是系动词,意为“尝起来”,后接形容词unique充当其表语,而在第二句中,taste则为实意动词,意为“品尝”,其后接了宾语,用副词enjoyably来修饰它。
笔者就既可作系动词,又可作实意动词的词编造了一些例句,供考生学习参考:

2. Every time my dad looks at the old photos, he looks excited.
