Grammar Note
及物动词,后接名词或名词短语。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都以 /aɪn/ 音结尾,与 underline 末尾的 /laɪn/ 押韵。注意:以 -ine 拼写的词常发 /aɪn/(如 line、fine、shine),但并非总是如此:engine /ˈendʒɪn/、imagine /ɪˈmædʒɪn/ 发 /ɪn/。另外,sign 和 design 拼作 -ign/-sign,但 g 不发音,仍读 /saɪn/、/dɪˈzaɪn/。还要小心 underling /ˈʌndərlɪŋ/ 和 underlying /ˌʌndərˈlaɪɪŋ/ 形似 underline,但读音不同。
