resign(ed)
1.下面四句都可以说:
- He has resigned.
- He has resigned his secretaryship.
- He has resigned from his secretaryship.
- He has resigned from the company.
第三句在美国比在英国用得多,在英国在表示“职位”的词的前面通常用resign而不用resign from。
2.Mr Hart has been appointed as our representative in place of Mr Mills (resigned)里的resigned作“已经辞职的”解,是不及物动词resign的过去分词用作形容词。
3.He resigned himself to living alone(他忍耐着独居)和He soon grew resigned to living alone等句子里的to是介词,不是不定式的符号,所以living不可改作live。
4.关于resigned lassitude(逆来顺受的心灰意懒)等,参见much 3 (5) E
