通過上面的五道中考題,我們知道了play的用法如此豐富,下面我們一起來看看它到底有哪些用法:
一、play的及物動(dòng)詞用法
1. 后接表示“球類”的名詞時(shí),意為“踢、打”,此時(shí)表示“球類”的名詞前不用冠詞。例如:
It’s dangerous to play football in the street. 在街上踢足球是危險(xiǎn)的。
The students like playing basketball after school. 放學(xué)后學(xué)生們喜歡打籃球。

I’m too busy. I have no time to play cards. 我太忙了,沒有時(shí)間玩牌。
3. 后接表示“樂器”的名詞時(shí),意為“演奏”,這時(shí)名詞前須加定冠詞the 。例如:
The boy could play the piano when he was eight. 這個(gè)男孩八歲就會(huì)彈鋼琴了。
I heard her playing the violin this time yesterday. 昨天的這個(gè)時(shí)候我聽見她在拉小提琴。
4. 在體育比賽中,play后接表示“人”或“隊(duì)”的名詞時(shí),意為“和……比賽”。例如:

5. 后接表示“戲劇中的角色的名詞”時(shí),意為“扮演”、“表演”。例如:

Helen played the farmer in the play. 海倫在劇中扮演農(nóng)夫。
6. 構(gòu)成習(xí)語“play a joke on sb.”,意為“和某人開玩笑”。 例如:
Don’t play a joke on your teacher. 不要和你的老師開玩笑。
Mark Twain liked to play jokes on his friends. 馬克·吐溫喜歡開他朋友的玩笑。
二、play的不及物動(dòng)詞用法
1. 解作“玩”。例如:
Work while you work, play while play. 工作的時(shí)候工作,玩的時(shí)候玩。
Look!The children are playing on the playground. 看!孩子們正在操場(chǎng)上玩耍。
2. 后接with,意為“玩耍、玩弄”。例如:

三、play的名詞用法
1. 表示“游戲、娛樂”時(shí),一般用作不可數(shù)名詞。例如:

【溫馨提示】player 這個(gè)名詞通常指“隊(duì)員、選手、比賽者、演員”等,也可表示“(鋼琴等的)自動(dòng)演奏裝置、唱機(jī)”。例如:
There are also eleven players in our team. 我們隊(duì)也有十一名選手。
