(1)I think the shop is closed. (2) No, I think the shop is open.
“在营业中”用 be open,“停止营业”理所当然地应当用 be close,因为 open 和 close 都是形容词,互相对应。我的看法对不对?
应当搞清楚, close 用作形容词时, 作“靠近的”或“亲密的”解, 而不作“关闭的”解, 因而, 它不是形容词 open 的反义词。The shop is close. 是“商店(离这儿)很近。”的意思。
-
Their house is quite close; we usually walk there. 他们的房子离这儿很近,我们常常步行去那里。
-
My sister and I are very close. 我和我姐是很亲密的。
用作动词的 close 作“关上”“使关上”解,这时它是动词 open 的反义词。
-
The banks close at 4:30 p.m. 银行下午4点30分关门。
-
What time do you close? 你们几点钟关门?
-
They close the store at 5:30. 他们在 5:30 闭店。
closed 是个形容词, 可以看作是形容词 open 的反义词:
-
The shops are closed on Sundays. 商店星期日都不开门。
-
The museum is closed (to visitors) on Sundays. 星期日博物馆(对参观者)不开放。请改正下句中的错误:
In the past, it was open every evening, and also on Saturdays and Sundays. Now it's close at those times to save money.
