make

★★★

🇺🇸 /mˈeɪk/

noun 编号: M00239 牛津3000 BNC #43 COCA #45

make 是英语中极为常用的词，作动词主要表示“制作、创造”，也可表示“使某事发生”“到达”“赚得或获得”等；作名词常指品牌、制造商或产品的型号，也可表示配偶或伙伴等较少见的意义。

💡 记忆钩子

核心概念是“把某物或某种结果做出来”：可以做出物品，造成某种状态，做成一件事并到达目标；做出来的产品则形成品牌、型号或制造来源。

📝 学习建议

先掌握动词“制作、创造”和“使……发生”，再学习“到达、赚得、构成”等由此扩展出的意义。
不要只把 make 理解为“制造”；它常用于抽象结果，例如使某人高兴、取得成功或赚到钱。
作名词时，表示“品牌、制造商或型号”的意义很常见；“配偶、伙伴”等意义来自另一词源，需结合上下文判断。

📖 中文释义

noun

core 品牌；制造商

📖 指产品的品牌、制造商或生产者，强调某件东西是由哪一家或哪种品牌做出来的，正对应“做出来的产品形成品牌或制造来源”。

💡 常用“the make of + 产品”或“a well-known make of + 产品”。这个用法多见于谈汽车、电器等产品，语体普通；不要误解为产品的具体型号。

What make is your laptop?

你的笔记本电脑是什么牌子的？

This make of car is known for reliability.

这个品牌的汽车以可靠著称。
common 制作方式；构造样式

📖 指物品是怎样做成的，包括它的构造、材料组合或整体样式。

💡 常用“the make of + 物品”来谈构造或做工，也可以和表示质量、坚固程度的形容词搭配。这个义项比“品牌”义少见，通常出现在描述物品结构的语境中。

I was impressed by the careful make of the wooden chair.

这把木椅精细的做工给我留下了深刻印象。
common 制造来源；产地

📖 指某件制成品来自哪里，或由哪一方制造，关注它的生产来源。

这块表是瑞士制造的。
common 性格；脾性

📖 指一个人的性格或内在倾向，表示某种行为或感受是否符合其本性。

💡 常见结构是“be not my make”，意思是“不是我的性格或喜好”。这是较旧式、文学性较强的表达，现代口语通常用“not my kind”或“not like me”。

安静的工作比公开演讲更适合她的性格。
rare 制造过程

📖 指制作某物的行为或工业生产过程，尤其用于较旧的制造业术语中。

💡 通常用于工业或历史性文本，常与“in the make”连用表示“在制造过程中”。现代英语里更常用“manufacturing”或“production”，不要在普通对话中随意使用。

dated
rare 产量

📖 指某种材料或产品在一段时间内生产出来的数量。

💡 通常作不可数名词，常与表示工业生产的材料或产品搭配。这个用法主要见于经济、工业或历史统计文本，日常英语一般说“output”或“production”。

uncountable
rare 自动构建工具

📖 在计算机领域，make 是一种根据规则自动编译和构建大型软件项目的工具或程序实现。

💡 通常写作代码或工具名称“make”，常与“run”“use”或“makefile”搭配。它属于技术术语，不能按普通动词“制作”来理解。
rare 身份辨认

📖 俚语中指根据证据或记录确认某人的身份，尤其用于警方调查语境。

💡 常见于“get a make on + 人或证据”，表示“查明身份”。这是俚语和警务语境用法，正式表达可用“identify”或“recognize”。

slang
common 晋升；提拔

📖 俚语中指一次晋升或提拔，即把某人安排到更高的职位，体现“做成某种结果”的概念。

💡 常见于军事、政府或职场俚语语境，通常用复数形式表示多项晋升安排。普通正式英语应使用“promotion”或“appointment”，不要把它和品牌义混淆。

这份名单包括三项高级职位的晋升安排。
common 自制项目

📖 指自己动手制作的物品或项目，尤其指电视节目中展示的手工制作活动。

rare 电路接通

noun

rare 易被勾引的对象

📖 俚语中指可能成为勾引对象的人，通常用于“easy make”这一短语；这是带有性意味的成人用法。

💡 通常只出现在“easy make”中，语体俚俗且带有成人和物化色彩。正式或日常交流中不要用它指代他人。

slang
rare 配偶；伴侣

📖 地区性或旧式用法中指配偶、伴侣，或与某人相配的对象。

七加五等于十二。
common 理解；看待

📖 指对某件难以理解的事形成解释或判断。

ditransitive

The joke made everyone laugh.

这个笑话让大家都笑了。
common 强迫

📖 强调用压力或命令迫使某人做某事。

common 排泄

📖 委婉、口语地指排便或排尿。
