- calm在口语中还可作“恬不知耻的”解。
- calm用作名词时,基本意思是“安静”“宁静”“镇静”“不紧张”,多用于单数形式,不可数。
- calm作“无风时刻”“平静时刻”解时,是可数名词,其前常用不定冠词,也可加上其他形容词作修饰语。
- calm的基本意思是“(使)平静下来”。用于修饰空间、天气、海洋等时,指有风有浪到无风无浪平静状态的过程; 用于修饰人时,指人的头脑由激动状态(悲伤、情绪不稳或烦恼)到冷静、镇静的过程。用于后者时含有靠其判断力、意志或信仰而由紊乱状态恢复到内心的完全“安静”“安宁”“无骚动”状态。
- calm可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词。calm的主语可为人,也可为海、风、形势等,其宾语多为(反身)代词,也可为名词(如神经、恐惧等)。calm一般不用于被动结构。
