succeed,success,successful的區(qū)別和用法
    一、succeed的用法
    ◆他的計劃成功了。
    誤:His plan was succeeded.
    正:His plan succeeded.
    析:succeed 表示“成功”,是不及物動詞,因此不能用于被動語態(tài)。
    ◆他終于把那個問題解決了。
    誤:At last he succeeded to solve the problem.
    正:At last he succeeded in solving the problem.
    析:表示做某事做成功了,succeed 后通常不接不定式,而接 indoing sth。又如:He succeeded in getting the job.(他謀到了那份工作),She succeeded in (passing) the exam.(她考試及格了)。注:有時此結(jié)構(gòu)可用作反語,如:I tried toclean the watch, but only succeeded in breaking it.(我想把表弄干凈,結(jié)果卻弄壞了)。
    ◆繼邱吉爾出任首相的是誰?
    誤:Who succeeded after Churchill as Prime Minister?
    正:Who succeeded Churchill as Prime Minister?
    析:succeed 表示“接替(某人)”,是及物動詞,其后無需用介詞 after。但它若表示“繼承(職位、頭銜、財產(chǎn)等)”,則是不及物的,后跟賓語時帶介詞 to(此時也不用 after),如:She succeeded to the mayoralty.(她繼任市長職位),比較:She succeeded him to the mayoralty.(她接替他擔(dān)任市長)。
    二、success的用法
    ◆失敗是成功之母。
    誤:Failure is the mother of successes.
    正:Failure is the mother of success.
    析:success 表示抽象意義的“成功”,是不可數(shù)的;表示具體意 義的“成功的人或事”, 則是可數(shù)的。比較:Gig sucess does not usually occur early.(大器晚成),His new book was a great success.(他新出版的書獲得了巨大成功)。再比較:He has had great success in business.(他事業(yè)上很成功),He was a great success in business.(他事業(yè)上很成功)。
    ◆你說服她改變主意了嗎?
    誤:Did you have any success to persuade her to change her mind?
    正:Did you have any success in persuading her to change her mind?
    析:have success in doing sth=做某事有結(jié)果或效果。又如:What success did you have in finding a new job?(你想找份新工作結(jié)果如何?)
    三、successful的用法
    ◆演出很成功。
    誤:The performance was successive.
    正:The performance was successful.
    析:successful=成功的;successive=連續(xù)的,接連的,一連串的。如:We have won five successive games. (我們已連勝五場比賽)。
    ◆你想找所新房子你找到了嗎?
    誤:Were you successful to find a new house?
    正:Were you successful in finding a new house?
    析:表示成功地做某事,be successful 后不能接不定式,而是接 in doing sth,又如:They were successful in launching a communication satellite. (他們成功地發(fā)射了一顆通訊衛(wèi) 星)。
