wear
★★★★
🇺🇸 /wˈɛɹ/
🇬🇧 /wɛː/
wear 主要表示“穿着”,也表示物品因长期使用而磨损,以及这种磨损或服装风格;另可作专名,指英格兰东北部的威尔河。
💡 记忆钩子
把 wear 想成“东西贴在身上或长期贴着使用”:衣服贴在身上就是“穿着”,风格由所穿的衣服形成;物品长期被使用,就会留下磨损,甚至磨薄、磨坏。少数方言义“防卫”与这些常用义无关,应单独记忆。
📝 学习建议
- 先掌握动词“穿”和“磨损”这两个核心义,再学习名词“服装”和“磨损”;不要把所有含 wear 的表达都理解成单纯的“穿”。
- 注意它是不规则动词:过去式和过去分词都是 wore、worn,不是规则形式。
📖 中文释义
name
-
rare 威尔河📖 指英格兰东北部的一条河,达勒姆和桑德兰都位于它沿岸。💡 常用结构是 the Wear,或与 river、banks、along 等词搭配。这里的 Wear 是河名,首字母大写;不要把它和表示“穿着”的普通词义混淆。
noun
-
common 服装📖 泛指某一类穿着的衣服,常按用途、场合或人群来分类。💡 常见结构是某个修饰语加 wear,例如表示运动、户外或孕妇服装。它通常是不可数名词,不能直接用来表示“一件衣服”;要表达单件衣物,应使用具体名词。in-compounds uncountableThe store has a good selection of outdoor wear.这家店有不少户外服装可选。
-
core 磨损📖 指物品因反复使用、摩擦或时间推移而出现的外观变差或强度下降;重点是“用久了留下的损耗”。💡 常见结构是 wear and tear,或 wear from、wear over time。它通常作不可数名词,不能把它当作某一道具体裂痕来数;表示具体损坏时应改用 damage、a crack 等词。uncountableThe old wooden floor shows signs of wear.这块旧木地板已经显出磨损的痕迹。Regular cleaning has caused some wear on the fabric.经常清洗使这块布料有些磨损。
-
common 服装风格📖 指某种穿衣风格,或某类服装所代表的外观和潮流。💡 常见于时尚、商业和服装分类语境,通常用作不可数名词。表示“流行”时不要机械地把它当作 fashion 的所有用法;这里更强调穿什么样的衣服或服装类别。uncountableThe brand is known for modern women's wear.这个品牌以现代女装闻名。
-
rare 穿用📖 指衣物、设备或矫正用品处于被穿戴、使用的状态,强调“穿着或使用这一行为”。💡 多见于说明文字或较正式的表达,常与 for、during 或 continuous 等成分搭配。日常谈论穿衣通常直接用动词 wear,而不用这个名词义。uncountable
noun
-
rare 堰(旧式写法)📖 指横跨河道、用来拦水或控制水流的低坝,是 weir 的过时写法。💡 现代普通写作中应使用 weir。看到 wear 表示这个意思时,通常要结合古旧文体或历史语境判断,不能按常见的“穿着”义理解。alt-of dated
wears
plural
verb
-
core 穿着;佩戴📖 表示把衣服、鞋、饰品或其他东西穿戴在身上,也可以表示脸上带着某种表情或身上带着某种外观。它强调“处于穿戴状态”,不只表示“把衣服穿上的瞬间”。💡 常见结构是 wear 加衣物、饰品或颜色,也可说 wear something with something。谈一次穿上的动作通常用 put on,不要用 wear 代替;过去式是 wore,过去分词是 worn。transitiveShe is wearing a blue jacket and white shoes.她穿着一件蓝色夹克和一双白鞋。Please wear your seat belt on the bus.请在公交车上系好安全带。
-
core 磨损;磨坏📖 表示使用、摩擦或时间使某物逐渐变薄、变旧或损坏。这里的核心画面仍是“长期贴着使用,最后留下损耗”。💡 常见结构是 wear something away、wear a hole in something,或主语加 wear 加 into。主语可以是人、时间、水流等造成磨损的因素;不要把 wear out 和普通的 wear 混为一谈,前者更强调彻底用坏。The rough ground wore a hole in his shoes.粗糙的地面把他的鞋磨出了一个洞。Years of use have worn the handle smooth.多年的使用把这个把手磨得光滑了。
-
common 逐渐磨薄📖 不及物地表示某物因长期使用而逐渐变薄、变弱或接近损坏,常用于表面、材料或耐用程度。💡 常见结构是某物 wear thin,或 wear 加形容词作补语。这里的 wear 不直接带受损对象;若要说明谁把什么磨坏,应改用及物结构。不要把 wear thin 只理解为“穿得很薄”。copulative intransitiveThe carpet is wearing thin near the front door.前门附近的地毯快被磨薄了。
-
common 使人厌烦;令人疲惫📖 口语中表示某种声音、行为或处境持续存在,逐渐让人感到厌烦或难以忍受。💡 常见结构是 something wears on someone,或某人说某事 is wearing on me。这个义通常描述持续累积的烦扰,不是一次性的“惹恼”;不要漏掉介词 on,也不要把它误解为“穿在某人身上”。colloquial intransitiveThe constant noise is really wearing on me.持续不断的噪音真的让我越来越烦。
-
common 忍受;硬撑过去📖 口语中表示面对不喜欢或不舒服的事情却只能继续承受,把它熬过去。💡 常见结构是 wear it,宾语 it 指代前面提到的麻烦、批评或处境。这个义较口语化,不能泛化为所有“忍受”;正式语境可根据具体情况使用 endure 或 tolerate。colloquialThe delay is frustrating, but we will just have to wear it.这次延误很让人恼火,但我们只能忍着。
-
common 耐用;经得住使用📖 不及物地表示衣物、颜色、材料或关系能够经受反复使用而保持良好,或某人的性格经相处后显得不错。💡 常见结构是某物 wear well,或表示能持续多久时说 wear for years。它强调经用后的表现,不是单纯说“正在穿”;谈衣服适合某人时,也不要把 wear well 和 look good 完全等同。intransitiveThis jacket wears well even after many washes.这件夹克洗过很多次后仍然很耐穿。
-
rare 使帆船转向另一舷📖 航海术语,指帆船转向时让风从船尾绕过,从而换到另一侧迎风航行。💡 只用于航海语境,常与 tack、wind、stern 等术语连用。它和表示穿戴、磨损的常用义没有直接联系,也不能用于普通车辆转弯。

rare 守卫📖 指守在某处或看守某物,防止别人进入或入侵;这是方言义,与“穿着”无关。💡 通常及物,宾语是被看守的地方或对象。它带有英国地域性和旧式色彩,现代交流中不要用它代替 guard。UK dialectal transitive
-
rare 保护;防卫📖 指保护某人或某物,使其免受攻击或伤害。💡 通常使用 wear 加保护对象的结构,但现代英语更自然地使用 defend 或 protect。只在方言、历史或文学语境中按上下文识别这一义。UK dialectal transitive
-
rare 驱退;挡住📖 指把危险、敌人或动物挡在外面,阻止其靠近或进入。💡 常见于 wear something from someone or something 一类的旧式结构。现代英语通常改用 ward off、drive away 或 keep away,不能照搬到普通会话中。UK dialectal transitive
-
rare 小心引导📖 指谨慎地把人或动物带到安全的地方、围栏或指定位置。💡 属于英国方言或旧式用法,常与 into、to 等方向成分连用。现代英语中通常用 lead、guide 或 take,不要仅凭中文“带领”而主动使用 wear。UK dialectal transitive

🌳 词源
常用的“穿、磨损”来自同一条古英语词源,核心概念与“穿上、覆盖”有关;方言“防卫”义来自另一条词源。河名 Wear 可能来自凯尔特语源。
Proto-Indo-European *wes-
Proto-Indo-European *-yeti
Proto-Indo-European *-éyeti
Proto-Indo-European *woséyeti
Proto-Germanic *wazjaną
Proto-West Germanic *waʀjan
Old English werian
Middle English weren
English wear
Inherited from Middle English weren, werien, from Old English werian (“to clothe, cover over; put on, wear, use; stock (land)”), from Proto-West Germanic *waʀjan, from Proto-Germanic *wazjaną (“to clothe”), from Proto-Indo-European *wes- (“to dress, put on (clothes)”).
Cognate to Sanskrit वस्ते (váste), Ancient Greek ἕννυμι (hénnumi, “put on”), Latin vestis (“garment”) (English vest), Albanian vesh (“dress up, wear”), Tocharian B wäs-, Old Armenian զգենում (zgenum), Welsh gwisgo, Hittite 𒉿𒀸- (waš-).
Originally a weak verb (i.e. with a past tense in -ed), it became irregular during the Middle English period by analogy with verbs like beren (whence bear) and teren (whence tear).
