Feature 的疑难用法与易错点分析
1. 词性混淆:动词 vs. 名词
错误:
× The new model features a camera. (正确,但易被误用为名词)
× The camera is a feature of the phone. (正确,但名词易被误加动词形式)
要点:
动词 feature(及物动词):主动形式表被动含义(无需用被动语态)。
正确:The film features famous actors.(电影由著名演员主演)
错误:× The film is featured famous actors. (无需被动语态)
名词 feature(可数):指“特征;特色内容;特写文章”。
正确:The app’s key feature is privacy protection. (核心功能)
错误:× The app features a key feature. (重复冗余)
2. 介词搭配错误
错误:
× The article features about environmental issues.
√ The article features environmental issues.
或:√ The article focuses on environmental issues.
要点:
feature 作动词时 直接接宾语(无需介词),表示“以…为内容/特色”。
正确:This magazine features travel tips.
名词搭配常用 feature of 或 feature in:
正确:Patience is a feature of her personality.(性格特征)
正确:The scandal became a feature in the news.(新闻内容)
3. 主动与被动的误用
错误:
× The museum is featured ancient artifacts.
√ The museum features ancient artifacts.
要点:
feature 作动词时,主语为“展示方”(如书、电影、产品等),直接用主动语态,无需被动。
正确:The exhibition features modern art.(展览以现代艺术为特色)
正确:She is featured in the documentary.(她出现在纪录片中 → 此处指“人被展示”,可用被动)
4. 语义混淆:特色 vs. 包含
错误:
× The menu features all dishes. (语义矛盾)
√ The menu includes all dishes. (包含所有菜品)
√ The menu features seasonal dishes. (主打季节性菜品)
要点:
feature 强调“突出展示或作为卖点”,而非简单罗列内容。
对比:
This store sells organic food.(销售)
This store features organic food.(主打/重点推广)
5. 与其他词汇的混淆
(1)Feature vs. Characteristic
feature:具体、可见的“特色”,如产品功能、文章版块。
例句:The phone’s features include a large screen.
characteristic:抽象或内在的“特征”,如性格、物质属性。
例句:Kindness is a key characteristic of his personality.
(2)Feature vs. Star
feature:客观描述某事物包含的内容。
例句:The concert features a jazz band.
star:强调某人/物是焦点。
例句:The concert stars a famous singer.
选择正确选项:
The documentary ______ rare footage of the event.
A) features B) is featured C) featuring
答案:A(主动语态表“包含”)
改错:
× The festival is featured live music performances.
√ The festival features live music performances.
通过以上分析,可避免 feature 的常见误用,正确掌握其动词与名词的语义、搭配及语法结构。
