kind

音标发音

kind的基本意思是“亲切的,和蔼的,友好的,仁慈的,慈爱的”,指人的心地善良,使人感受到一种亲和力,让人看上去慈善,也可指行为上让人感觉到友好。
kind后可接人,也可接心地等具体的或抽象的名词。在句中作定语或表语。
kind用作表语时,其后可接动词不定式,该动词不定式说明主语在哪方面kind,主语和kind及动词不定式均存在逻辑上的主谓关系。
kind还常用于带有形式主语结构的句子中,以动词不定式充当真正主语,动词不定式的逻辑主体由介词of引出。
too kind to- v 结构不含否定意义,而含肯定意义; Would you be kind to- v ?的意思是“劳您…”,常用于正式用语中。

kind用作名词时的意思是“种类”,指一事物与其他事物相区别的属性; 也可指事物本身所具有的特殊性,即“本质,性质”,此时多为不可数名词。
当kind与of连用作前置定语时,后面的名词通常用单数形式。kinds of后面如为可数名词,单数和复数均可。kind of用于口语中还可作“有些,一点儿”解,在句中用作状语。
kind of...用作主语时,其谓语动词用单数形式; 而kinds of...用作主语时,其谓语动词用复数形式,与of后名词的数无关。
在all, different等词之后的kind总是用复数形式,不管kinds of后面跟的是复数名词还是单数名词。
