painting
★★★★
🇺🇸 /pˈeɪntɪŋ/
painting主要指用颜料完成的画作,也可指刷漆或绘画这一活动;它还是动词 paint 的现在分词和动名词形式。
💡 记忆钩子
想象颜料落在一个表面上:留下来的成品是一幅 painting,正在把颜料涂上去是 painting 这一过程,而把这种活动当作艺术来学习也是 painting。
📝 学习建议
- 先记住可数的“画作”这一义项,再区分不可数的“涂漆过程”和“绘画艺术”。
- 不要把 painting 一律理解成“画”;看到不可数用法时,它常常说的是活动或工序,而不是一件作品。
📖 中文释义
noun
-
core 画作📖 颜料落在画布、墙面等表面后形成的具体作品就是一幅 painting;重点是留下来的成品。💡 常用 “a painting of + 人或事物” 表示“描绘……的画”,也可说 “a painting by + 艺术家” 表示“某人创作的画”。这个义项是可数名词,单数前通常需要限定词;不要把它和不可数的绘画活动混用。countableThere is a beautiful painting of the lake above the fireplace.壁炉上方挂着一幅描绘那座湖的美丽画作。The museum bought two paintings by a young local artist.博物馆买下了当地一位年轻艺术家的两幅画。
-
core 涂漆过程📖 这里说的是把颜料或油漆涂到表面上的过程,关注的是正在进行的工作,而不是最后形成的作品。💡 常用 “need some painting” 或 “the painting of + 表面” 来谈这项工作,通常作不可数名词。它多用于房屋、墙面等实际工序;若要说一幅完成的画,应改用可数的 “a painting”。uncountableThe kitchen needs some painting before the guests arrive.客人到来前,厨房还需要刷一刷漆。
-
core 绘画艺术📖 当 painting 指一种艺术实践时,它表示以颜料作画这一门艺术,而不是某一幅具体作品。💡 常用 “painting and sculpture” 或 “the art of painting” 这类搭配,通常作不可数名词。它适合谈艺术学习、创作能力或艺术史;说具体作品时仍要用可数形式。uncountableShe studied painting at an art school before becoming a teacher.她成为教师前曾在艺术学校学习绘画。

core 正在涂画📖 这是 paint 的现在分词或动名词形式,表示“正在涂漆、作画”,或把这个动作当作一件事来谈。💡 表示此刻或某段时间正在进行的动作时,用 “be + painting”;表示活动本身时,可用 “painting + 宾语” 作主语或介词后的成分。它不能单独充当一般现在时的谓语,也不能替代过去式。form-of gerund participle presentThey are painting the bedroom this weekend.他们这个周末正在给卧室刷漆。Painting the fence took us all afternoon.刷篱笆占去了我们整个下午。
