borne的用法

borne是bear的过去分词形式,主动语态和该词后接by的被动语态只能用borne,而我们知道,这里bear肯定是动词,而不是名词“熊”的意思。

例句:①bear作“怀有(感情,尤指坏心情)”的意思时 He's borne a grudge against/towards me ever since that day./ He's borne me a grudge ever since that day. 从那天起他便对我怀恨在心。

②bear作"生(孩子)"的意思时 She bore him six sons.→She had borne him six sons. 她为他生了六个儿子。An English woman bore him.→He was borne by an English woman. 他是一名英国妇女生下的。His parents bore/(had borne) the child across the mountains. 这孩子的父母在山上生下了他。

③文学创作中,bear作“(尤指随着风、水或者空气)传送;吹动”的意思时 Wind bore along the sound of music.→The sound of music was borne along on the wind. 乐声随风飘送。

作词素,构成形容词词性后缀(-borne),表示"由...携带的"。例如:water-borne/air-borne diseases 由水/空气传播的疾病

英式英语中作形容词,构成唯一固定短语be borne in on/upon sb,短语尤指“(逐渐被)某人意识到/认识到”,例如:It was gradually borne in on us that defeat was inevitable. 我们逐渐认识到,失败是不可避免的。
