consisting
基本解释
- v. 组成；存在；一致（consist的ing形式）
词源解说
- 1520年左右进入英语，直接源自拉丁语的consistere：com(一起）+sistere(放置），意为坚决站在一起。
用法辨析
- consist的基本意思是“某物由…组成”,是不及物动词。其后常接of短语表示其构成情况,且只用于一般时态,不用于进行体和完成体,也不用于被动结构。
- consist还常与in, with连用。与in连用表示“以…为要素”“主要在于”; 与with连用表示“和…一致”“并存”。
- consist of/in/with这三者各不相同：consist of 意为“由……组成，构成”。consist in意为“在于”或“存在于”。consist with意为“与……并存，或一致”。Our group consists of five teachers. 我们组由5个老师组成。Correct English consists in the correct use of words and phrases. 改正英语在于改正词和短语的用法。Theory should consist with pratice. 理论要与实践并存。
- consist of 与contain的区别：consist of后面接全体的各部分。contain 后面接全体的一部分。但是在说到容量和重量的时候，两者意思相同。The poem, which consists of ten paragraphs. 这首诗，由十个段落组成。The poem,which contains two paragraphs of description. 这首诗包含了两段介绍的段落。A gallon consists of (或contains) four quarts.
v. (动词)
