1. 用作名词,注意以下用法:
(1) 表示“收费”,是可数名词,通常(但不一定)用复数形式。如:
Your charges are too high. 你收费太贵了。
What is the charge in the hotel? / What are the charges in the hotel? 这旅馆收费多少?
(2) 表示“负责”、“管理”,通常为不可数名词。如:
Doctors have charge of the sick people. 医生负责照顾病人。
Soon he will take charge of the department. 他很快会来负责管理这个部门。
区别并比较(有 the 表被动,无 the 表主动):
这个工厂由格林先生负责。
Mr Green is in charge of this factory.
This factory is in the charge of Mr Green.
(3) 表示“控告”,是可数名词。如:
They made a charge against the boss. 他们控告老板。
He was arrested on a charge of murder. 他因谋杀罪被逮捕。
2. 用作动词,无论是表示“收(费)”、“索(价)”还是“控告”等,都是及物动词。用法上注意:表示“收(费)”,通常与介词 for连用,并且可以带双宾语;而表示“指控”通常与介词 with 连用。如
He charged me 100 dollars for this coat. 这件外套他要我一百美元。
The driver was charged with speeding. 司机被控超速驾车。
比较:They charged me with robbery. / They charged robbery against me. |
