“遵守”意义的英语表达 一、 “朴实平凡”的 follow，obey follow 是一个常用的多义词，表示“遵守”的含义时，更多强调“遵照，听从”的意义，如： Follow the doctor’s advice when taking this medicine. 服用此药请遵医嘱。 His translation sounds a little clumsy as it follows the original too faithfully. 他的译文过于忠实原文了，听起来有点别扭。 obey 则是最常用也是最通俗的一个表示 “遵守”意义的词，如： obey the rules and regulations. 遵守规章制度 Obeying orders is the bounden duty of soldiers. 服从命令是军人的天职。 Everybody must obey the law ，be he a common citizen or a high-ranking official. 无论是普通公民还是高级官员，人人都要守法。 二、带介词to 的“难兄难弟”conform，adhere conform to 与 adhere to 是两个具有 “遵守”含义的固定搭配，在此项含义下，二者可以互 换，但要特别注意它们一些其它常用含义，否则会影响我们对具体句义的理解，如: E-mail is a convenient，highly democratic informal medium for conveying messages that ___ well to human needs. A. adheres B. reflects C. conforms D. satisfies 以上这个例子单从固定搭配上讲，adhere 与 conform 都可以入选，但从具体语境来理解， 只有一个才是最合适的。conform 其常用含义除 “遵照，适应”外，还有“符合，一致”与 “顺从”。因此，上面的例子的正确答案应该是 C 。 adhere 是不及物动词，其基本含义是 “粘附，附着”，与介词 to 构成固定搭配，有两个引 伸含义 “遵守，坚持”、 “追随，拥护”，如： The young couple adhered to their marriage in spite of the resistance from their parents. 这对年轻人不顾双方父母的反对而坚持结婚。 The family members adhere to their respective political parties. 一家人却拥护不同的政党。 Both parties promised to adhere to the contract to be signed the following day. 双方都允诺遵守转天就要签署的合同。 关于 conform to 更多的例子： The vast majority of people in any given culture will ___ to the established standards of that culture. 在任何一个特定文化中，绝大多数人都会遵守其规则与标准。 A. confine B. conform C. confront D. confirm All individuals are required to ____ to the laws made by their governments. 人人都务必遵守政府制定的法律。 A. obey B. conform C. concede D. observe Equipment not ____ official safety standards has all been removed from the workshop. 不符合官方安全标准的设备都已搬出了车间。 A. conforming to B. consistent with C. predominant over D. providing for 我们还要注意conform 与 confirm 进行词形上的区分。
