v.批評；挑剔；評論；非難；吹毛求疵

You should not criticize him so harshly in his face. 你不應該當面這么嚴厲地批評他。

Basicly there is nothing to criticize in his works. 他的作品基本上無可挑剔。

Would you like to read and criticize my new novel? 您愿意閱讀并評論一下我的新小說嗎?

He is too ready to criticize others. 他很喜歡評論別人。

He criticized me for not finishing the work in time. 他因我未及時完成該工作而非難我。

It would be wise not to criticize. 不吹毛求疵將是明智的。

criticize的基本意思是“評論”,指識別某人或某物的優(yōu)缺點,有時還含有非難或挑剔的意味。

criticize既可用作不及物動詞,也可用作及物動詞。用作及物動詞時,常接人、理論、路線等作賓語,很少接“懶惰”“急躁”等作賓語。

criticize的賓語后可接介詞for表示原因,接介詞as表示性質或內容。

criticize在英式英語中也可寫作criticise。

說“批評某人的粗心”時,不能直接以“粗心”作criticize的賓語,而應接“某人”作其賓語,用介詞for引出批評的內容。例如: 老師批評了他的粗枝大葉作風。誤:The teacher criticized his carelessness.正:The teacher criticized him for care- lessness.

criticize后不能接that從句。例如: 他認為這個故事不吸引人。誤:He criticized that the story lacked interest.正:He criticized the story for lacking interest.
