good

1.the good ship...和the good town of...里的good是惯用的词，可以说是没有意思的。

2.He is good to her是“他对她和善”。He is good for her是“他有益于她”。This food is good for children和A walk will be good for you等句子里的for不可改作to。

下面两句意思相同：

• If you have a cold, this medicine will be good for you.
• If you have a cold, this medicine will be good for it.

3.He is not good at the game里的good是形容词，作“擅长的”解，He is no good at the game里的good是名词，作“益处”或“用处”解，no good作“没有用的”解。下面两句意思相同，但语法不同：

• He is not very good（形容词）at the game.
• He is not much good（名词）at the game.

4.可以说It's no good trying again和It isn't much good trying again。也可以说There's no good in trying again和There isn't much good in trying again。说There's no good trying again和There isn't much good trying again是英美人常有的错误。

5.He is no good at the game和It's no good trying again以及It isn't much good trying again等句子里不可在no good和much good前面加上of。That's little good和That's scarcely any good以及What good is that? 等句子里也不可加上of。

6.It is most good of you to come（你的来到证明你的好意）里的most good不可改作best。He looks more good than you是“他比你好看”。He looks better than you是“他看来身体比你好”。

7.“好”是good，“坏“是“bad”，“不好不坏”是indifferent，可以说good, bad, and indifferent。

8.We work for the common good和He devotes himself to the public good里的the不可省去。

9.good用作“益处”解通常是抽象名词，但偶尔也用a good（一个益处）和goods（多个益处）。

10.for good跟for ever不很相同，如不可说I shall love my work for good或We shall live together for good，该把for good改作for ever。for good有“一…不再恢复”的意思，它所修饰的动词是表示一时的动作的。例如：

• Philip left the country for good.
• Philip will soon retire for good.
• We are striving to end war for good.

11.good morning里的good有时省去，但good afternoon, good evening和good night里的good不可省去。

12.good是形容词，但as good as是状语短语，作“几乎”解。例如：He as good as said so. （他虽然不曾这样说，但可以算得这样说了。）
