succeed,success,successful的区别和用法
一、succeed的用法
◆他的计划成功了。
误：His
plan
was
succeeded.
正：His
plan
succeeded.
析：succeed
表示“成功”，是
不及物动词，因此不能用于
被动语态。
◆他终于把那个问题解决了。
误：At
last
he
succeeded
to
solve
the
problem.
正：At
last
he
succeeded
in
solving
the
problem.
析：表示做某事做成功了，succeed
后通常不接
不定式，而接
indoing
sth。又如：He
succeeded
in
getting
the
job.(他谋到了那份工作)，She
succeeded
in
(passing)
the
exam.(她考试及格了)。注：有时此结构可用作
反语，如：I
tried
toclean
the
watch,
but
only
succeeded
in
breaking
it.(我想把表弄干净，结果却弄坏了)。
◆继邱吉尔出任首相的是谁?
误：Who
succeeded
after
Churchill
as
Prime
Minister?
正：Who
succeeded
Churchill
as
Prime
Minister?
析：succeed
表示“接替(某人)”，是及物动词，其后无需用介词
after。但它若表示“继承(职位、头衔、财产等)”，则是不及物的，后跟宾语时带介词
to(此时也不用
after)，如：She
succeeded
to
the
mayoralty.(她继任市长职位)，比较：She
succeeded
him
to
the
mayoralty.(她接替他担任市长)。
二、success的用法
◆失败是成功之母。
误：Failure
is
the
mother
of
successes.
正：Failure
is
the
mother
of
success.
析：success
表示抽象意义的“成功”，是不可数的；表示具体意
义的“成功的人或事”,
则是可数的。比较：Gig
sucess
does
not
usually
occur
early.(大器晚成)，His
new
book
was
a
great
success.(他新出版的书获得了巨大成功)。再比较：He
has
had
great
success
in
business.(他事业上很成功)，He
was
a
great
success
in
business.(他事业上很成功)。
◆你说服她改变主意了吗?
误：Did
you
have
any
success
to
persuade
her
to
change
her
mind?
正：Did
you
have
any
success
in
persuading
her
to
change
her
mind?
析：have
success
in
doing
sth＝做某事有结果或效果。又如：What
success
did
you
have
in
finding
a
new
job?(你想找份新工作结果如何?)
三、successful的用法

successive.

误：Were

successful
to
