【适用场合】
今天我们来学习一下英文中“占有欲很强”的说法。
我们通常可以使用possessive这样的一个形容词,它可以表示“占有的;拥有的;占有欲强烈的;不愿意分享的”;
如果搭配的是东西,我们看下这段英文解释:
If you are possessive about something that you own, you do not like lending it to other people or
sharing it with other people.
如果搭配的是人,那一般就指的是在感情关系里,希望得到对方全部的关注和爱,“爱吃醋的、不希望对方独立的;具有控制或者主宰的欲望的”;
demanding total attention or love; not wanting sb.to be independent;
口语中常见的搭配是:
be possessive of/about sb./sth.,值得学习一下。
我们之前在学习摩登家庭的时候,也学习过possessive的用法,当时是【Modern Family S3E2】,大家可以点击链接跳转复习点我复习,那一期名字叫做:“占有欲太强了”英语怎么说?
eg: He's a bit possessive about his CDs - I wouldn't dare to borrow them.
他可宝贝他的那些CD了,我都不敢开口让他借我。
eg: Her boyfriend was getting too possessive so she finished with him.
她的男朋友占有欲太强了,所以她跟他分手了。
eg: Jimmy's very possessive about his toys.
