6. close可表示“关着的”吗
He fell down to the ground, his mouthand eyes.
A. open, closeB. opened, closedC. opened, closeD. open, closed此题很容易误选A,其实应选D。open和close均可用做动词,前者表示“开”,后者表示“关”,是一对反义词,如:
Please open your mouth.请张开嘴。
Please close your mouth.请闭上嘴。
但是open和close也可用做形容词,此时前者意为“开着的”,后者意为“接近的”、“亲近的”等,并不表示“关着的”,要表示“关着的”,英语用closed,即用做形容词时,open与close不是一对反义词,而与closed才是反义词。
