用法辨析
- contract作“订契约”解时,指双方为共同利益所吸引。用作及物动词时可接名词或动词不定式作宾语; 用作不及物动词接for可表示“承包”“录入”; 接in可表示“承诺加入”; 接with可表示“与…订合约”。
- contract作“缩小”解时,指由于内部的力量,使物体的范围和结构收缩集中,多用作不及物动词,引申可表示缩写,这时常接介词to。也可用作及物动词接名词或代词作宾语。
- contract用作不及物动词时,可表示“订合同,订约”,后面常接介词with; 与介词for连用表示原因或目的。
- contract作“感染疾病”或“染上恶习”解时是及物动词，接名词或代词作宾语。
- contract指“合同”时，不能与动词pay搭配，因合同不能支付人任何东西，只是承诺支付，可用assign与其搭配。
v. (动词)
