  1. 1aB2/ɪnˈtrænsətɪv/不及物的

    正式used about a verb that has a subject but no object. In the sentence 'They arrived', the verb 'arrived' is intransitive. Dictionaries often mark these verbs with the letter [I].

    示範例句 · Example

    'Arrive' is an intransitive verb, so we say 'We arrived at the station', not 'We arrived the station'.

    逐字「Arrive」是一個不及物動詞，所以我們說「我們到達了車站」，而不是「我們到達車站」。

    intransitive 是文法課上給動詞貼的標籤，說的是「這個動詞後面不接受詞」。像 arrive、sleep、happen，動作只發生在主詞身上，後面不會再接一個被動作影響的東西（不說 arrive the station）。可以想成：trans- 有「跨過去」的感覺（transport 運送、transfer 轉移），transitive 的動作會跨到另一個東西上；in- 是「不」，所以 intransitive 就像動作停在主詞這裡，沒有跨出去。字典裡看到 [I]，就是在告訴你這件事。

core核心畫面

A verb whose action stops at the . They arrived. She slept. The dog barked. There is nobody and nothing on the far side of the verb — no object for the action to land on.

動作走到主詞這裡就停住了，沒有再往外落到任何東西身上。They arrived.（他們到了）、She slept.（她睡了）、The dog barked.（狗叫了）——這些句子已經完整，動詞後面接不上受詞。你不能說 They arrived the station，得改成 They arrived at the station，用介系詞把地點接進來。這樣的動詞就叫「不及物動詞」，字典常標成 [I]（intransitive）；相對的是及物動詞 transitive，標成 [T]，動作會落在一個受詞上，例如 She ate the cake。
