單詞habit的用法介紹

habit的意思是“習(xí)慣”,指某人有規(guī)律地經(jīng)常做某事,如咬指甲、抽煙等,由于這種動作反復(fù)地做,久而久之形成習(xí)慣或習(xí)性,做時(shí)不用思索。有時(shí)也可指動植物的“習(xí)性”。既可用作可數(shù)名詞,也可用作不可數(shù)名詞。

habit有時(shí)也可表示“婦女的騎裝,教士、修女等的服裝”,在美國口語里還有“毒癮”的意思。

habit后的定語可用“of v -ing”形式,但不可用to- v 。注意當(dāng)句中有it充當(dāng)形式主語或賓語,而以動詞不定式作真正的主語或賓語時(shí),該動詞不定式可以置于補(bǔ)語habit之后。
