第三十 五章  後接間接受詞的形容詞和動詞

 

Today we want to look at the various words which demand the use of a Dative. Dative indicate to whom or from whom something is done or affected.  One such verb that we have seen so far is the verb do dare dedi datus to give.  There are certain adjectives which demand the use of a dative case.  The following adjectives are the most common adjectives.

本章要學習某些特殊用字,這類字詞之後要接用間接受詞。間接受詞指 出某事乃是針對某人而做、或某事承受來自某人的 影響。我們先前學過動詞do dare dedi datus to give給予一字,此字之後即要接用間接受詞。拉丁文中也有一些形容詞要接用間接受詞,以下為常用的此類形容詞。

 

Adjectives which demand Datives

接用間接受詞的形容詞:

 

Amicus a um                 friendly to               …… 友善

Inimicus a um                unfriendly to              …… 友善

Similes simile                similar to                 …… 相似

Dissimilis dissimile         dissimilar to            ……不相似

Fidelis fidele                 faithful to                忠於……

Carus a um                   dear to                     …… 親密

Par                               equal to                   相等於……

 

These in no way exhaust the list.  They are just the most common. 

以上舉例為最常見者,隨著所學愈多,此類字眼也會漸增。

 

I also mention that there are certain verbs which are followed by the dative.   The following list should be learned for they are very common words.

先前亦提過某些動詞之後要接用間接受詞,以下為常用的此類動詞。

 

Credo credere credidi creditus  to believe      相信

Ignosco ignoscere ignovi ignotum to pardon 原諒

Impero imperare imperavi imperatus to command  要求,命令

Noceo nocere nocui nocitum  to injure  傷害

Pareo parere parui  to be obedient to      服從

Persuadeo persuadere persuasi to persuade   勸服,說服

Placeo placere placui    to be pleasing to         取悅,使高興

Studeo studere studui to direct one’s zeal to    研究,投注精力於

 

 

 

In addition to these  datives often occur with verb compounds.  These are verbs which add preposition to themselves as prefixes to form a new word.  The preposition usually employed are the following:

除了上述,間接受詞常和復合動詞同時出現。復合動詞為取介係詞為字首再加上動詞本字而形成的新動詞。常用的此類介係詞如下:

Ad to or toward   通往,朝向

Ante before         ……之前

Cum, con, com, coll with   ……一起

In in or on           ……之內,在……之上

Inter between      ……之間

Post after             ……之後

Pro for                 為了……

Sub under            ……之下

Super above        ……之上

 

 

Again this is not an exhaustive list.  It is just the most common preposition used.  As you learn more vocabulary, these lists, as all list do, will increase in length.

以上舉例為最常見者,隨著所學愈多,此類字眼也會漸增。加油!
