关键使用提醒

1.tolerate 是及物动词:后面必须接宾语,不能说 “He tolerated.”,正确表达是 “He tolerated the delay.”。

2.接动词时要注意:tolerate 后面必须接动名词(doing),不能接动词原形,比如 “忍受熬夜” 是 tolerate staying up late,不是 tolerate stay up late。

3.同源词联动记忆:tolerate(动词,容忍)→ tolerance(名词,宽容)→ tolerant(形容词,宽容的),写作时可灵活转换。

比如 “我们应该对他人宽容” 可以说 “We should be tolerant of others.” 或 “We should show tolerance to others.”。
