begin start commence initiate inaugurate
begin: 最常用词,含义广泛,其反义词是end,多用于行动、工作等的开始。
start: 在许多场合可与begin通用,但start侧重动作的起点。
commence: 可与begin换用,但commence系书面正式用词,语气庄重,特指有正式程序或一定仪式,或某种正式行动的“开始”。
initiate: 指创始或发起,侧重某过程的第一步,不考虑结束,强调起始。
inaugurate: 指正式而隆重的开始。

【词语用法】

  1. begin后接的动词可有多种形式。若其表示的意思是“有意志的”,可以用不定式或动名词。
    • He will soon begin to write a novel.
      He will soon begin writing a novel.
      写小说是有意志的。
  2. 在结构be beginning中,后面多用不定式,避免...ing的重复。若其表示的意思是“没有意志的”,多用不定式,不怎么用动名词。
    • She began to like novels at twenty.
      爱好小说本身是没意志的。若该动词是属于被动语态的,也多用不定式,不怎么用动名词。
  3. Begin指“开始”,begin with指“以……开始”。
    • I shall begin this book today.
      我今天将开始看这本书。
    • I shall begin with this book today.
      我今天将先看这本书,有后看别的书的意思。
  4. begin后一般不加from,且绝对不能接from ... to ...。
    • The journey begins from Shanghai.
      句中的from最好换成其他介词如at。
    • The journey begins from Shanghai to Beijing.
      这句是完全错误的。
    习惯上begin at the beginning和begin from the beginning表达都很普遍,均指“从头开始”;
  5. begin用于主动语态时,后可加被动结构。
    • The book began to be read (by him) last Sunday.
    begin用于被动语态时,容易出现双重被动的错误,应尽量避免。
    • The book was begun (by him) to be read last Sunday.
      这句话虽语法上无误,却不符习惯,因实际上begin to ...的结构是不能作被动语态的。
  6. 一般来说,表示持续动作的动词同表示时刻的词是不能一起使用的。如rain(下雨)是表示持续动作的动词,five o'clock是表示时刻的词语,两者不可搭配使用。不能说It rained at five o'clock. 可用begin去连接。
    • It began to rain at three o'clock.
      雨是在三点的时候开始下的。
  7. 英美人普遍使用的几个句子:
    • I felt I did not begin to understand him.
      我觉得自己一点也不了解他。
    • Your suggestion does not begin to meet the difficulty.
      你的建议一点解决不了这个困难。
    • Nothing has begun to interest her so much as folk music.
      没有什么东西曾经像民间音乐一样引起她的兴趣。
  8. begin和commence意思相似,但前者的使用比后者普遍,尤其是口语中。通常正式文字中,会使用commence,如commence hostilities(开始交战)和Hostilities commenced late that year。commence后多接动名词,较少接不定式,且多用在有意志的事上;
  9. begin与start的比较:
    通常来说,begin同start基本上没有大区别。
    • I began/started teaching when I was 24.
      我24岁时,开始教书。
    相对而言,begin较start要正式一些。
    • We will begin the meeting with a message from the President.
      It's starting to rain.
    不过在某些时候,人们习惯用start,如表示‘start a journey’(开始旅程)和‘start working’(开始工作)中,不用begin
  10. 用现在式指未来的事时,也可以用begin来表示。
    • The show begins next week.
      表演下周开始。
