以下情况通常只用certain,而不用sure:
1. 当句中用了形式主语或形式宾语 it 时。如:
It's certain that he'll come tomorrow. 他明天肯定会来。
I thought it certain that he would be late. 我肯定他会迟到。
It's certain that prices will go up. 价格肯定会上涨。
It's not certain how much it will cost. 这要花多少钱还不确定。
2. 当表示“某一”“某些”时。如:
A certain Mr Green wants to see you. 有个叫格林先生的人想见你。
Certain plants are good to eat but others are not. 有些植物好吃, 而其他一些则不好吃。
三、只能用sure的情形
在 Be sure (not) to do sth.(一定要或不要做某事)这类祈使句中通常不用 certain。如:
Be sure not to forget it. 千万别忘记啦。
Be sure to get there before nine. 务必在九点前到达。
Be sure to turn off the light when leave. 离开时一定要关灯。
四、两者在习语中的用法
1. 用于 for certain / for sure, 意为“肯定地”“确切地”等,两者可互换。如:
I can't say for certain [sure] when he will come. 我不敢肯定地说他什么时候来。
No one knows for sure [certain] what happened to her. 没有人确切地知道她出了什么事。
2. 用于 make certain / make sure,意为“弄清楚”“弄得有把握”,两者可互换。如:
They made certain [sure] (that) they weren't late. 他们有把握不迟到。
I think there's a train at 10:40, but you'd better make certain [sure] of it. 我想10:40有趟火车,但你最好去核实一下。
英语语法:短语first and foremost, for certain的用法
副词短语在句中的功能相当于副词,通常在句中作定语、表语或者状语。
49. first and foremost首要,比什么都重要
用法:first and foremost通常置于句首,起强调作用,表示后面说的话很重要。类似的词组还有above all。
例句:First and foremost, they will look into the problem of bribery in the company.
首先,他们会调查这个公司的受贿问题。
结构分析:First and foremost是状语, they是主语, willlook into是谓语动词(将来一般时), the problem of bribery in the company是宾语,其中of bribery是后置定语,in the company是介词词组作后置定语,修饰the problem of bribery。
50. for certain确定地,无疑地
用法:for certain一般用来修饰动词。类似的词组还有without doubt。
例句:I don’t know for certain why Carl Dadisman, the owner, wouldn’t stop Daddy from sitting down. (2014年12月四级)
我不知道为什么这个主人,卡尔·达迪斯曼,没有阻止爸爸坐下来。
51. for ever永远
用法:for ever修饰名词,一般位于句中或者句末作状语,相当于forever。
例句:As America’s first environmentalist, John Muir lived his lifefor ever daring for undertaking new adventures. (2015年12月六级)
作为美国的第一位环保主义者,约翰·缪尔的一生都在不断冒险。
52. for free免费
用法:for free可以作状语修饰动词,表示某个行为是义务的、免费的。
例句:She will do the job for free.
她会免费做这项工作。
