v.(动词)

1. spend的基本意思是“花费时间、精力或金钱”,可指人使用、花费金钱,度过时光,也可指某人、物、事使尽〔耗光〕力量、能量、弹药等,还可指人在某物、事方面花费金钱、精力、时间等。
2. spend可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词。用作及物动词时,只能以人作主语,接名词、代词作宾语。可用于被动结构。
3. spend的宾语后可接动词不定式,表示目的,作状语。
4. spend的宾语后常可接以介词in〔on,for〕引导的短语表示“把…花在…上”,介词宾语可以是名词,也可以是动名词。以动名词作宾语时介词in常可省略,尤其在口语中。
5. spend可用于“主+谓+宾+主补”结构,主语补足语可由形容词或过去分词充当。

v.(动词)

spend for, spend in, spend on

这三个短语的共同意思是“在…花费…”。其区别是：

1.spend in和spend on既可以用于时间,也可以用于金钱; 而spend for只可以用于金钱。

2.spend on和spend in后既可以接名词,也可以接动名词; 而spend for后多接名词。

3.spend on和spend in在语义上有细微差别。试比较:

He spent a week in touring these six cities.

他用了一周时间游览这六个城市。

(强调动词宾语)

He spent a week on touring these six cities.

他把一周的时间花费在游览这六个城 市上。

(强调介词宾语)

spend, cost, pay, take

这组词的共同意思是“花费”,指某人买或做某事所花费的时间或金钱。其区别是：

1.spend和pay的主语只能是人; cost的主语是物或事; take后接时间时，主语也可以是人。此外，take和cost还可以用动词不定式或动词不定式短语作真实主语,而it为形式主语。例如:

I paid him $200 for this painting.我付他200美元买了这幅画。

She spent ten dollars shopping for food.她购买食品花了10美元。

The work cost me a lot of time and effort.这本著作花费了我大量的时间和精力。

We took a week to finish the work.我们花了一个星期完成这项工作。

It costs us a lot of money to build a house.盖房子花了我们很多钱。

It took me one year to read this book.我用一年时间读了这本书。

2.pay的搭配范围最窄,只接金钱; cost的搭配范围最宽,除接金钱和时间外，还可接劳力、精力、财富、健康、职位甚至生命等。例如:

“Are you paying cash?”“No,I will pay by cheque.”“你付现金吗?”“不,我用支票支付。”

Careless driving cost him his life.粗心大意地开车使他丧了命。

3.spend可接动名词，而cost, pay, take可接动词不定式。

4.spend, take, pay都可用于被动结构，而cost不能用于被动结构。

spend, expend

这两个词的意思相同,前者为较正式用词,强调所消耗的时间、金钱或精力等是巨大的。

spend, pass

pass和spend都有“度过时光”的意思,两个词常常可以互换。其区别是：

1.在伴随有表示“地点”的副词或副词短语时,通常使用spend而不使用pass。

2.如果仅仅表示“打发时间,消磨时间”时,较多地使用pass; 如果表示“因某种目的而愉快度过,无忧无虑地度过节假日”时,要使用spend; 如表示“花费时间做某事”也使用spend一词。例如:

I spent a good holiday in Spain this summer.今年夏季我在西班牙度过了一个愉快的假期。

A week may be spent in seeing the interesting sights of the city.参观这个城市的名胜古迹可能要用一个星期。

spend, waste

这两个词都可表示“耗费时间、金钱、精力等”,其区别是：

spend是“花有所得”,而waste则是“徒劳无益”。试比较:

He spent a lot of money on〔in〕 enter- taining friends.

他在招待朋友上花了许多钱。

(含有“真朋友,需要时会给予帮助”)

He wasted a lot of money on〔in〕 enter- taining friends.

他在招待朋友上花了许多钱。

(酒肉朋友,吃你、喝你不帮你)

cost，expend，spend，take，pay

这些动词均含“花费”之意。

cost指花费时间、金钱、劳力等。其主语是物，而不能由人充当，也不用被动形式。

expend较正式用词，通常指为某一专门目的而花费大量金钱、时间或精力。

spend普通用词，与cost基本同义，但主语必须是人。

take普通用词，指需要占用空间、时间或精力等，其主语可以是人，也可以是一件事情。

pay“付款、给……报酬”，它可作及物动词也可作不及物动词。pay常用于以下几种句型：①Sb．pay（s）sb．money意为“某人付款给另一个人或某人给另一个人多少报酬”。

v.(动词)

误 She spent three hours to watch TV.

正 She spent three hours (in) watching TV.

他花了许多时间为考试做准备。

误 He spent much time to prepare for the examination.

正 He spent much time preparing for the examination.

析 当强调“花费时间做某事”时,常用spend time (in) v -ing, in可以省略,但spend后不能用动词不定式。

昨天晚上我去看电影了,你怎么度过的?

误 Last night I went to a movie.How did you spend?

正 Last night I went to a movie.How did you spend the night?

析 spend表示“度过”时是及物动词,其后要接宾语。

我们在纽约过得很愉快。

误 We spent a good time in New York.

正 We had a good time in New York.

析 表示“过得愉快,玩得高兴”可用成语have a good time〔enjoy oneself〕,不可说spend a good time。

我们去电影院,以消磨火车到达以前的那段时间。

误 We went to the cinema to spend the time until the train arrived.

正 We went to the cinema to pass the time until the train arrived.

析 spend和pass都可表示“度过(时间)”,但是为避免无所事事或感觉厌烦而做某事以消磨时间通常用pass。
